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 Princess Twilight's notion of harmony with all creatures thank to their dealing with griffins - Invaded and took the other half. In Baltimare and the Equestrian Southeast, the magic of friendship has weakened, as Communists, Changeling infiltrators, Fascists, gangs, and corrupt creepy politicians threaten the city. 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.
The party now takes on the task of breaking, entering, and investigating the house of Social Democrat politician Comte "Cheese" Burgher, who is alleged to have 'purchased' two young foals. They have already distracted the guards around the gated community and explored most of the property. Now, Ash tries out her role as a 'dog whisperer,' Dark Star contemplates the evidence he has already collected, Silver shifts between stealing jewelry from innocent third parties and talking about the joyful smell of wingpit sweat, Iron harasses guards by talking to them about queer theory while Onyx acts as his his homosexual partner, Brie tries to get the guards drinking on the job, and Spark follows around the group in the attic.

"THIS ONE here started off demanding to be let in. I thought, no real issue, we have a lot of stallions who think they are important and want to be let in, so I just shut it off. Then he tried to claim that he is someone, so I thought that maybe he is a guest of one of the residents who is coming back from a party or bar drunk, so I tried to get his ID. And then... That's when the ketamine, or whever he is on kicked in. He started talking to me about all of this weird sexual shit like stallions who think they are mares or something. And I thought, well, we do get a lot of weird ponies coming through here. But THEN he started hitting on me like a weird pre-vert and tried putting his hoof under the glass trying to touch me. But he broke through the glass. At that point, I thought 'OH HELL NO" and I pulled my gun on him. And I called these other two here while this guy is still hanging around the gate."

In retrospect I should have just said 'it is so,' and then later after Blue Skies reads the police report and finds out that the party - silver included - has robbed a coin collection, cut pictures out of frames, and stolen a mare's jewelry, she would have told Silver something like 'you can never again criticize my government. If you think we Blackhooves are thieves who break in to hearth and home under cover of night, you are nothing better' and basically would have said something like 'clean your room' to Silver anytime he got onto her about the supposed moral superiority of Equestrians

"HISS!"
The room smells... unpleasant
Another room, smaller. Unlike every single other room they have been in, this room has a light on in it. To the left periphery is a bed, and past that is a lamp that is on. On the far end is a bed. On that one bed, is not one, but two foals. Both have thick collars with thick leather chains around them, attached to the wall where their is a sturdy metal base.
One is a light green unicorn. Colt, younger, blank flank. Blue eyes cast a very deep sense of despair and sadness, looking towards the door, as his ears droop and he lay on the bed, head close to it. The second foal is a white earth pony colt, also young and a blank flank. He sits up close to the wall, back against it. He does not make eye contact with those entering the room, although he is clearly aware of them. His drooped ears and cowering appearance suggests a sense of intense dread. In the center of the room, on the far side, is a veil that hangs between the left half where the foals are, and the right half of the room. It must serve to keep what exists on each side from having constant line of sight with what is on the other
On the right side of the room, on the side opposite the entrance, are two cages, each not very large. Inside of each are creatures that probably neither Ash nor Dark Star (or even Spark, if he be present) have ever seen in this form alive. Two small undisguised Changelings. At least that must be what they are. They are black with coats more chitinous than furry, big blue eyes with no whites or very distinct pupils, severed tubular ears, translucent green barrels, dragonfly-like wings with green sheaths, and giant holes in their legs. Both of them are drones. They are too small to be adults. They must be in some formative stage of development - that race's equivalence of pre-adolescence. Both are also fitted with leather collars, though these attach to their cages.
One of them hisses at the creatures in the doorway, and its hiss is the one and only sign of a resisting will in the room, as is bares its fangs at the intruders and lowers its tube-like ears. Even it does not come as close as its leash or cage will allow. The other is quiet, and stays at the back of its cage. It too seems to convey a sort of fear in the way it cowers towards the back of its cage

Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee this is all too much to handle quietly before the freaking cops show up!
Sister Ash is taken aback, but remains steadfast. The approaches the nearest foal and removes his collar.
"Are you alright..?" She asks in a soft voice, despite the fact that he obviously isn't
"Can you walk?" She asks

"...Oh, sweet Celestia..." Silver looks between the foals and the drones. A desire to see Comte burn in Tartarus slowly rises to the surface.
>>85377
Seeing Ash take care of the foals, Silver slowly attempts to approach the drones. He hasn't had many good encounters with changelings, but this...no one, pony or changeling, should have to be in a position like this. His voice assumes a natural paternal tone, trying to sound calming to the drones. "Young ones...are you okay? Are you hurt?"

Holy shit. Can anypony do something to stop the Safety Squads from showing up?
Wtf are we supposed to do in this time? Reeeeeee.
I'm probably going to need a long time to get these foals ready for transportation, and a bit to plan how to sneak them all out.

"О богини…" Silver turns to both changelings, looking sympathetically at them. His voice continues in its paternal tone. "I promise, to both of you, we will find pony who did this. And he will pay. Now, let us see if we can not get you freed."
Silver takes a look at how the cages open, and if there's something in the room that will let him open them.

Simple locks on each cage
Now, the drone responds and talks to Silver, with an unnatural voice, and nothing less than a deep despair. He is monotone, and stares past the other Changeling
"Das schlechte Pferd hielt uns fest. Es gibt keine Liebe von diesem Pferd. Einfach nur Lust."
He talks aloud to the other:
"Es gibt keinen Grund, Bruder. Unten bleiben."

He responds finally
"I don't want to go to the bed" he cries

He can not understand the changelings words. But he understands what they mean. "Do not worry, young ones. He is not here right now. I am."
Strength: Silver grabs his railroadmare's hammer, and tries to break the locks on the cages.

The simple lock breaks, allowing the door to open slightly. The other drone is scared by this, and backs down. He stops hissing. The drone in the cage Silver opened, however, won't shut up
"Wir hungern. Das Pferd würde uns dazu bringen, Bilder anzusehen und uns in viele verschiedene junge Pferde zu verwandeln. Seine Freunde würden ihre Sachen in uns stecken und uns berühren. Sie hatten keine Liebe zum Essen, und wenn wir versuchten zu füttern, würden sie uns einen Stromschlag geben"

Silver doesn't seem to hear him, or doesn't care much about it.
>>85411
Silver understands this much, as well. "They did not let you feed. You are hungry..." He thinks for a moment. "Here, if you still can feed..."
He brings a memory to mind. A loving memory, of him and Storm and their foals together. Storm and Silver, sitting together on the front porch of their cabin out near Manehattan, watching as their foals play out in the front yard. He remembers the joy from watching his offspring try to tag each other, the worry when one of them faceplants into the dirt, the relief when they get back up, smiling and laughing. But most of all, the love from just being there, and being able to enjoy being with his loving family in such a beautiful yet simple moment like that.
He is unsure how much love the changelings can get from this small memory, but he hopes it's enough to get them going.

The small and deformed bee pony rises to its hole-filled feet, and seems actually happy
"Kann ich mich von dir ernähren? Danke vielmals!"
There is still the leather restraint tying it down, but it moves forward as close as it can get to Silver, at the very end of its leash. It then opens its mouth, exposing its small fangs and thin tounge, and bites, as if it found something in the air. A green and purple energy is even visible flowing from the air to the small drone

As it draws away magic from the Silver, he feels different at first, it is a lack of happiness. A lack of joy. The memory loses its color, going from color to black and white. He feels his body become suddenly cold, almost violently cold. The same as he felt after raising his wet fur into the winter air after jumping into the pool. It is as if the very will to live is slowly being drained from him, and he is slowly feeling the despair that the foals on the other side of the veil feel right now. But Silver is not there yet, as his magic is strong and he holds steady. The little vampire wants more
>>85428
Yes, cut or undone
All of the foals are non-responsive at first
>>85429
The one on the left is sucking from Silver. the one on the right, near Brie, could use some love

The Drone stays in the back of his cage for a moment. Unlike his companion, he is not talkative, and says nothing to Dark Star. But Brie has undone both the lock and his restraint. He bolts out of his cage, and lunges at the air itself in front of Dark Star - bypassing the physically closer Brie in the process. It pulls a green and purple energy from Dark Star, and towards its open mouth.

He pushes onwards, a singular goal of making sure these changelings get out of here in his mind. He opens the cage and levitates a small, simple survival knife out of his bags. He uses it to cut the restraints off of the changeling. His voice still retains the paternal tone he used. "...this feeling...it is draining..." He looks at the changeling, bringing another memory to mind, for its sake. Him and Storm, out in a field. He looks deep into her yellow eyes. She offers to show him a trick. And suddenly, she takes off, soaring through the air. He sees her zoom across the sky, doing twists and twirls in the air for him, a trail of lightning following her. Suddenly, she makes a sudden turn in midair, right next to the air. A bolt of lightning appears to blow up a nearby cloud, creating possibly the most beautiful rainbow he has ever seen.
He is unsure how much more he can go on, or how much damage this will do to him, but he will push on, if it means he can get these two out of here.

When it first sinks into him, Dark Star feels cold. Perhaps the last time he felt significantly cold was waking up, naked and no cover on, alone in Blue Skies' bed in the Grand Baltimare Hotel. They must have neglected to keep the heat on. But this is not the same as simply awaking in a cold room. This is true cold, with almost a fear behind it. His euphoric warmth for Blue Skies... starts to drain and to fade. Even the image in his mind seems to fade. Not so much fade as drain of all color. All happiness starts to fade, all joy. Then a feeling of the very will for life itself slowly fading away. He starts feeling tired. Hopeless

The pegasi still twists and twirls across the skies of Silver's mind... but it's getting harder to focus. Harder to concentrate. The images in his mind bleed color, then become like static, then he can scarcely think at all. There is this sort of feeling of a lack of purpose. A lack of hope. Like Storm is forever lost. But Silver remains standing, he remains awake, and though he definitely has less energy, he's defintely felt worse
Silver's little incubus friend, for his part, voluntarily stops. It would not be fair to say that he is 'sated.' The hunger is still visible in his eyes. But what is fair to say, is that the desperation is gone, He is no longer like a child fallen through a frozen lake, trapped under ice and desperate for air. He looks... grateful

But he has one more request, looking over to the other changeling that has just knocked Brie on the ground

Silver focuses on the joy in the changeling's eyes. Even with himself feeling hopeless, even with the joy having been sucked from his life, he managed to help this changeling when they were in need. It's a calling he has strived for his entire life, helping those in need, and it fills him with a renewed sense of joy, of purpose, in his heart. Even when all around him goes dark, when he himself is joyless, he can still give joy to others, still give light to those who do not have it.
He looks at the changeling as best as he can. It's clear he's having difficulty focusing, but there's resolve in his eyes, now, that wasn't there before. "...You...you want me to feed him...I...I will try..."

The image goes from black and white to static. He can feel the great church of Saint Petershoof destroyed. He can feel Storm Warning killed before his very eyes. He can feel the thousand year empire of Hamrony destroyed. These are not thoughts called to mind nor images nor memories... They are feelings. It were as if every other feeling he had. Every other positive thought and memory has been pulled away. Vacuumed, if you will, leaving behind only the unpleasant, the evil, and the despairing. He now feels weak, and collapses.
"Es tut mir so leid" says his little incubus friend. As he falls down, he can tell that both changelings had been feeding on him at that moment, the changeling he sought to help and the changeling he thought had taken enough

"Ist ein Wechselbalg!" interjects Silver's incubus friend
>>85493
Alright, first off, when you wrote that thing about silver still feeling warm and fuzzy for helping the changeling - those emotions are blood in the water for hungry sharks. I though that both Dark Star and Silver would be feeding the second changeling, which was actually more than was necessary, so I decided to say 'you cut your palm in front of the hungry vampire and the logical happened,' so the first one was feeding too. I had intended to write that the first one looked apologetic, and if you translate the German, he is saying something like "I am so very sorry"

I know you tried to make him seem apologetic, but that doesn't change the fact that you made him do it in the first place, and that you could have more than easily decided to actually make us care a little for the changelings.
I would also argue that Star is in no better shape now to feed a changeling than he was after the changeling fed the first time, but that's besides the point.

What are you talking about? This is the most sympathetic I have seen the changelings outside of bad fanfics and the skittlebugs. So the bug couldn't fight off the temptation to get more food? I don't see the major problem here.

If Changelings are too nice, then it just makes everyone who doesn't trust them look like racist assholes who are flat out wrong and nothing more. But if the poor little bee couldn't help himself after being starved for so long... Have some understanding and some patience. It's not an adult and shouldn't be expected to have the same level of self-control. Also Dark Star has vanished, so yes, that scene will probably need to be rewritten anyways

The first good thing Silver does after the GM expresses his disappointment at him stealing a couple pieces of jewelry, and he gets betrayed for it, because he decided to put aside his own prejudices and help out members of a species he fought against in the Great War, and that everypony and their mother says can't be trusted, and he did this just because he saw those in need and saw how he could help, even if it hurt him. I don't care what excuses you have, it doesn't change what it is: Silver is getting punished for performing a good deed.
I'm gonna go cool off for a bit. I'm fucking pissed.

Ok man. But if you think about it, that's life. You don't automatically get rewards for good deeds. You can get rewarded later on, but you can't expect all the things you do that are good to rake in profits with the snap of your fingers. But take a little break if you need to.

1. Fuck you
2. Go fuck yourself
3. Did you watch the show? In the episode where they try to redeem changelings and show them as not really an Always Chaotic Evil race, one of them does exactly what just fucking happened here. Thorax is nice to Spike, and is just fine around ponies in his disguise as he is brought along as Spike's friend... and then he passes by the love emanating from Flurry Heart. He couldn't control himself, he lost over to instinct, and even let down his disguise, causing himself to get caught. And the first thing he does after that is hiss and behave like a monster. All of this after he had been so nice to spike, and because he lost control over his instinct to look for love. Actually, when we first meet Thorax, the first thing he does is hiss at spike. This drone has not done even that. The other drone hissed at Silver, this one cowered in the corner because he's been fucking traumatized by being used as a sex toy, being electrocuted, and being starved for a month or however long. This changeling, thus far, has been nicer to Silver than Thorax was. The fucking pony show did exactly what you are bitching about, and they still went the "Changelings are actually super good" route, even changing their biology
4. Have you ever stopped to consider that maybe, just maybe, the reason that everypony and their mother says that Changelings can't be trusted is because they fucking can't. Maybe, just maybe, the millennia of wisdom that teaches that changelings cannot be trusted has a basis in reality. Not every bit of dislike of Changelings needs to be nothing but "Hate, Fear, and Xenophobia." Changelings are not 'Muslims in America' or 'Black People in America" or whatever oppressed minorities. People who do not trust them actually have some reason to do so. Maybe, just maybe, not all good deeds are rewarded. Maybe that old adage of the farmer and the viper wasn't just a racist xenophobic homophobic transphobic sexist white male being oppressive. Maybe good payed unto evil is wasted.
5. For the fourth fucking time, the only reason I wrote that scene like that is because we didn't need two ponies for only one drone. If I had known Dark Star would die after that, I wouldn't have written it that way

If they can get away, I imagine they could try to go to a religious institution to remove the levels, or see a hospital since I imagine they've had to deal with these sorts of cases before, so I'm not too worried about the negative levels in and of themselves. It's just a question of if they can get away.

>tfw can't sleep
As far as I've read? They require a spell like Restoration to be dispelled. If it doesn't get cured within 24 hours, we have to make a Fortitude save to avoid losing a level. Could be the GM has made special rules for negative levels inflicted by changelings, in which case it's whatever he says, but if it's just from the SRD, then we need to find a pony who can cast the spell.

Taken from http://dungeons.wikia.com/wiki/SRD:Energy_Drain,_Negative_Levels,_and_Level_Loss
"Negative levels remain until 24 hours have passed or until they are removed with a spell, such as restoration. If a negative level is not removed before 24 hours have passed, the affected creature must attempt a fortitude save... On a success, the negative level goes away with no harm to the creature. On a failure, the negative level goes away, but the creature's level is also reduced by one."
In other words, you can just wait it out and roll a fortitude save to dispel negative levels but there's a chance that it will drain one level from you. So, you better use restoration on Silver, since he seems to have terrible rolls as of late. Iron should have smaller problems with it. Here's hoping that endurance can help with energy drain.

Alright, I'm trying to understand where, precisely, the characters are.
Iron obviously is at a bar or restaurant. Onyx is MIA. I had Ash have a foal try to escape right before she went through the broken fence, although she caught it and I believe she went through. Dark Star and Silver have both collapsed to the ground inside the basement room. Spark has been knocked on the floor at the entrance door of the same.
Now Brie... Yes, I know he left out of the basement of the pool house carrying a unicorn foal as his prize, but where precisely is he? And how is he doing it?

Tbh, the end of the war seems oddly far-fetcged, from what I understand from this setting.. the world is really big and complicated. Waging Peace was really the character goal I had in mind though.
I still wanna progress things to get to the point where we can free the Show's cast though. For that though, I need levels.

Eh, I'm starting to wish that Knowledge Geography/History we're a class skill for me.. First I need to figure out how exactly this world works, as well as it's politics/history. It seems to be like five times bigger than the show's world.
Ending a single war is one thing, but future wars can't be prevented unless the countries themselves are remade. Every race needs it's own territory.

I hadn't heard that. That begs all sorts of questions, such as do they all have regional queens/governesses? Are all the leaders female? Are their differences of opinion among the/any leaders, and/or are some of them more reasonable and open to parlay, or are they all pissy like Chrissy?

What other objective could the story have other than to free the show's cast and restore Equestria to what it was?
It'd feel weird to just do whatever when all the ponies in the show are imprisoned or dying.
>>85553
Idk. I don't even know what creature Subtype they count as yet (Monstrous Humanoids, Vermin, Fey?), so I can't roll any knowledge checks. If it's not a class skill for me, I have to assume my chart has only common knowledge: checks with a DC of 10. If they were Monstrous Humanoids, Vermin, Magical Beasts, or Fey, I could learn more about them as I gained ranks in knowedge (nature). If they're Abberations, then they'd apply under Dungeoneering, but only Rangers, Wizards and Bards have that skill.

The easiest way to think of the Changeling Lands/Changeling Hegemony is to think of the German Empire. It's a single country made up of numerous formerly-independent counties and states. There are many different hives, but they all swear fealty to a single Queen/King. In-game, the only way to stop the Changelings from trying to declare war again is to beat them in a war, and either puppet them or annex them. As New Mareland is fascist like Chrysalis, they'll likely try annexing them if they win. If Equestria is released from New Mareland's occupation as a Harmonist, Communist, or Non-Aligned country, then they'll try puppeting the Hives under the ideology of their choice. In the event of a Harmonist Equestria puppeting the Changeling Lands, Thorax becomes King of the Free Changeling Hives.

The Changeling is heading to an area behind the house that has greenery and a small stream - a sort of common area used to separate lots. Brie is faster than the foal, so he may roll opposed grapple
>>85558
If I said "fey" I am sure that would have all sorts of ramifications that are not desirable for gameplay. So think of them as humanoids, maybe like drow elves or something. But realistically speaking, they are a mix of Vampires, Succubi, Irish Changelings fairies, and the Soviet Union in the immediate aftermath of WW2. Closer to soviets in terms of difficulty to find and kill

I only spoil things when I am pissed off and there is no other way, or when something is completely over. Figuring out how to do with Changeling vampirism is all a part of the fun

I only spoil things when I am pissed off and there is no other way, or when something is completely over. Figuring out how to do with Changeling vampirism is all a part of the fun

Well, I guess I'll go with my gut and hope Silver and Star don't lose a level in the process.

Since the changeling doesn't seem to speak Ponish, Brie gives him a quick pep talk in Bat.
"Eeeee! E eeee eee'ee eeeeeeee eeeeeee eee eee eee eeee EE eeee eee eee eeee E ee, eee eeee eeee eeee! E'e eee eeeee ee eeee eee, ee EEEEE eee eeeee ee EEEEE eeeee ee'ee ee e eeee eeeeeee eeee!"
Listen! I know you're probably freaked out and you have NO idea who the fuck I am, but calm your tits! I'm not going to hurt you, so PLEASE sit tight at LEAST until we're in a less obvious area!

>the only way to stop the Changelings from trying to declare war again is to beat them in a war
That makes no sense. Changlings are made to infiltrate and interconnect with other groups of creatures. To say that they'd stop being agressive just because you tried to crush them doesn't make sense when you think if how it worked in the show.
>Puppeting
That's not friendship....
Also, wtf is New Mareland, and wtf are they in power? I sense subtle notes of Fascism, only without all if the traditionalist factors that make fascism worth supporting.
>>85564
Humanoid is split into several different groups. Are they a group of their own?
What do they fall under as Favored Enemy targets?

They are a settler colony of Equestria. If Equestria is Great Britain or America, New Mareland is Australia
>No traditionalism
They are in their homeland, where their version of the same religion is a little different. T hink of how Protestant christian Americans used to be mistrustful of Catholics for the specific reason that they thought Catholics may be more loyal to the Pope than to their own country. You might have noticed that unlike the Communists, they are not Atheist and they are not Anti-clerical, nor do they actively try to destroy religion. They are also not the sorts of people to write about "The Psychology of Sex" and what have you

Changelings are their own creature. You can specify "Changelings" as a favored enemy

When you find something that doesn't quite make sense in regards to what we saw in the show, remember that all of this comes from a game mod, so there's going to be some difference to compensate that.
New Mareland is essentially a combination between Australia and America. At the start of the game, New Mareland starts as a Harmonist Dominion underneath the indirect control of Equestria, in the middle of a Great Depression and with numerous Griffon minorities, AND surrounded by the griffon nations of Aquilia to its north, the griffon nation of Talouse to its northeast, the griffon nation of Wingbardy to its southeast, and the Sun Sea to its west and south. There are a few different paths New Mareland can take to try to fix the state the country starts out in, and in this particular instance, New Mareland took the path of independence and electing the Fascist Duke Haygle as their leader, with the goal of defending their nation against the expanding and increasingly aggressive griffon nations at their borders, at all costs.

Sister Ash is also supposed to be an apolitical figure. She wouldn't ask things like that unless she had a specific reason.
Does she make it back to the orphanage?

Noted. I'm hoping that between the 3 of them they can come up with a reasonable solution for carting out a friendlyier changeling. If this guy hadn't tried to run off, Brie might have tried going back to assist them depending on where the authorities are at, but he's thinking that will be improbable.

Go with a mix of both, I would say. Try for peace, but prepare for war. That, and just ask those in-game who would have more knowledge than Ash.
It would be helpful for Ash at this point, I would imagine, if she knew of the existence of underground Harmonist enclaves in Baltimare, but I get the feeling there aren't any.
>>85581
From what I understand, Ash is trying to get a better understanding of the cultures, customs, and religious practices of Equestria. I would figure learning about the history of the region, both distant and recent, as well as the political situation in the region would be ways to succeed in this endeavor, even if she remains apolitical and refuses to take a side.

I'd prefer to resolve issues as the characters of the show would, but that's just my preference.
Even in a war game, there's gotta be a way to attain world peace by the end of it so everpony can live happily ever after.
Sister Ash isn't aligned with any particular religious association. Druids are technically all part of the same sect, and the concept of that is that the Will Of The World supercedes artificial political boundaries and alignments.
She's only staying at this abbey because she considers it to be a good place for her to do volunteer work. If it weren't for the children, she'd just go innawoods, and never come out unless the Earth spoke to her again.

In FiM, Equestria is a pretty peaceful place overall. There's not very much threat of large-scale violence, mostly just cookey individuals.
Anyway. That's just me daydreaming. I just thought that "beating the game" entails stopping wars, and eliminating the imminent threat of foreseeable future wars.

I went and re-read the entire thing, and Silver did break the lock on the cage, as well as Brie unlocking the other cage and cutting the leash on the other one, but this changeling never had his leash cut
So he lays there at the far end of his cage, ears down

The insect in Brie’s arms addresses him, as surely as it does Silver, and a green and purple stream flows from Dark Star and Silver into its mouth. And he can feel the image of blue in his mind going cold, flickering, then a mild headache, and she grows more distant. Joy leaves, as does all pleasure. At the end of all of it, he feels weak and tired - but not much weaker nor more than he was when the second session began. Silver, for his part, falls to the ground. Then the Changeling turns into a dark blue foal, as Brie knocks over Spark
>>85610
The Changeling’s ears droop, and it rushes to the back of the cage, now cornered. It knows what is coming
“Es tut mir leid, Es tut mir leid Ich werde es nicht nochmal tun!”
If silver wishes to cut the restraint, rather than slit its throat, Silver could go around the cage to the back where it is tied, so he doesn’t have to move his leg past the saber-like fangs of a scared and cornered animal

Silver pays little attention to them as well, as he's just trying to make his way back out of the area.
Gotta leave here in a few minutes. I'll try to stay for as long as I can, but once I leave, I'll likely be gone for two hours or so again.

Anything in particular to signal Iron the deed is done? I'll suppose the sirens could be something to panic enough to rush to the scene or the abbey, if I can justify it.

Silver tries as much as he can to look his part: a very tired pony with his dog.
He speaks to the dog as he continues towards the hole in the fence. "It is not much farther, then we can head for safety, reunite you with your brother."

The insect asks. And then, he says the following, in a firm tone, almost as if he were in a position to negotiate terms or make demands:

Iron thinks he waited enough for the others to do their thing. It should have been a quick in and out to grab incriminating evidence. He pays what is due, plus 30 extra bits for the unicorn mare. "Thank you. It was a good meal you recommended." He stands up and starts his trek back to the Eastside Tavern to see if everybody else is already there

"Bat is taking him where I am taking you. To my home." He thinks a bit on what to say. A little emotion is coming back to him, but he still can't feel quite like he did before letting the changelings feed. "I understand if you are worried, but I tell you I will not hurt you. It is only place I know that would be safe for you two, and away from police. There you can rest, gather your strength. In morning, once we are rested, we will help you get to your family safely." Him and the lab reach the hole in the fence Silver made earlier.

"That was messed up."

Finally at the computer.
Iron does not see any of the people he's agreed to work with here. Iron shakes his head. Great. Well, he should equip his armor and shield while he's at it, maybe they'll come after he puts on his armor pieces. Should take a long time by himself, so feel free to recall Iron when 10 to 12 minutes have passed.

Is Silver going with the others to the hospital?
>>85730
Does Dark Star agree?
>>85732
He asks almost apprehensively
"
Wenn ich beiße, wirst du mich verletzen?"
But he immediately adds as essential explanation
"Ich würde dich nicht bald beißen. Ich habe die Seelen von Earth Pony und Unicorn gegessen. du warst gut"

After he makes sure the changeling with him is safe in his room at the tavern, yeah.

"Uhhh…" He thinks back to when he saw Changeling records and reports during the Great War, and what little of the language he managed to pick up from them. After a few seconds of trying to remember, he speaks in a difficult to understand accent, and butchers the language in the process, but he manages to speak it all the same. "...Dein Name. Was ist es?"

Silver puts a hoof to his own chest. "Ich heiße 'Silver'." He continues to struggle with the language, making it very clear this isn't a language he can actually speak. "Komm durch Loch, wir müssen zu mir nach Hause gehen."
Can I just say that it's interesting looking at which members of the party tried to help the changelings?

"Vielen Dank. Du bist auch nett." Silver leads the way to the tavern.
I absolutely did not expect Dark Star to be willing to help. He definitely got good boi points from Silver for that. I wouldn't say we're okay with earning negative levels, but it's not as if they're impossible to remove, and 24 hours is still a fairly generous amount of time to have them removed.
I'm more surprised at how Ash did absolutely nothing for the changelings, not even acknowledging they existed.

The player controlling ash takes a laser focus interpretation to motivation. "I am here for this, and I do not care at all for anything besides this very specific purpose"

Kek, I didn't mean that particularly. They seem too underdeveloped to be considered of legal age, so Iron's not going to believe that they can fit his length anywhere. I was thinking raw love from happy memories, like Silver did.

Adoptions don't cost as much as a (medieval) house. I'm very suspicious about the couple that took that foal; in fact, i'm even more suspicious of them than I was of Comte.

For the ninety-second fucking time, the amount in question is NOT as much as a house. It's about the same amount of money as in 2019 America would buy a new car. That's how much foals cost. A new car, or slightly more

Foals don't have a real market price: they're illrgal and immoral to buy, and have no definite cost to produce/acquire. Those are ransom numbers, determined only by how much people are willing to pay on an individual basis.
Also, by that pricing, a suit of full plate also costs as much as a car: d&d prices aren't exactly consistent.
I'd get it if land should cost more though, because of population growth.
Sister Ash nods in agreement.
"... I'm sure they will..." She replies, trailing off.
".. Now what to do..." She wonders, to nopony in particular

Silver shivers a bit at the feeling of the wind against him. He looks with sadness at the changeling-turned-dog. His speech slowly becomes more understandable to the changeling, from the practice he's getting by speaking to him. It's still in a fairly broken state, however. "Es ist schmerzlich, das zu hören. Es tut mir leid, was meine Freundin Ihnen und Ihrem Bruder angetan hat. Nicht alle von uns sind gute Ponys, soviel weiß ich. Aber ich verspreche Ihnen, wir werden dafür sorgen, dass er für das bezahlt, was er getan hat.
"Ich möchte, dass Sie sich von mir ernähren. Sie können nicht helfen, und Sie müssen es tun, um zu leben. Es war klar, dass Sie verhungerten, und ich wusste, dass ich auf diese Weise helfen konnte."

What does this disguise look like?
He smiles, and picks the changeling-colt up. Silver sets him on his back as he continues to walk, like a father giving their foal a ponyback ride. "Die meisten von uns sind es. Nur...wenn Sie füttern, füttern Sie bitte nicht zu viel. Ich bin immer noch schwach von früher."

Iron opens the door to Silver's room, revealing a grey coat, mostly greyed dark-green mane and brown eyes with a slight tint of red in it. "Oh, it is you. Thought you died back at the docks." He looks to the foal. "Well, I was not expecting such results." He moves aside to let Brie and the foal in. "Come on in. Silver should not take long."

I was going to make him look like one of Silver's colts so that way the changeling's disguise would be kind of creepy and subtly imply that the changeling had accessed silver's memories, and was using them to try to imitate one of them (probably Silver Rain) but extensive searching through old threads failed to find any descriptions of coat colors. So... I don't know. I feel like one of them was pink for some reason

No exterior damage. It looks as if the issue with the leg is the foal sitting, laying, or kneeling in a way that is awkward for excessive periods of time, placing too much strain on that joint

The foal is a dark blue unicorn with white and streaked mane. It looks in around the room, and seems kind of uncertain
I was going to make him look like one of Silver's colts so that way the changeling's disguise would be kind of creepy and subtly imply that the changeling had accessed silver's memories, and was using them to try to imitate one of them (probably Silver Rain) but extensive searching through old threads failed to find any descriptions of coat colors. So... I don't know. I feel like one of them was pink for some reason

Sister casts Cure Minor Wounds to alleviate pain and mend all physical damage.
Then she takes 10 on a Heal check (has a mod that'd give her 17), to help quicjen the foals recovery overnight.
Would that be enough to help him?

Silver Rain had a grey coat and a light grey mane, Spectral Streak had a light grey coat and a dark grey mane with a yellow streak running through it, and White Light had both a light grey coat and a light grey mane. Both Silver Rain and Spectral Streak have the same dark grey dorsal stripe that Silver himself has. Not sure if Silver would be too worried about the changeling taking the form of one of his foals. I think he'd find it a bit endearing.
He figures it's a product of the changeling feeding. As long as he keeps it at such a level, he can withstand this. Silver keeps heading for the Tavern.
How much farther until Silver reaches the Tavern?

"I'm fine, I sleep during the day."
He looks to Kerr. "Shlafen sie bitte?"
And then back to Iron. "Its complicated, but this is the only language he speaks. His name is Kerr."
He starts to look back to Kerr but stops.
"Uhm,... what was your name? We've never been officially introduced."

His form is of a Pegasus with light grey coat, Dark grey mane. Generally to a passerby he would look like one of Silver's grandchildren, albeit of pegasus race. The little foal seems happy to be riding on his back, and when a chill that runs through Silver is clearly more than just the winter wind, he can be sure the hungry little demon has taken Silver up on his offer

Another slightly uncomfortable shiver runs through Silver's body. He whispers to the changeling-colt on his back, so no other passerbys can hear him. "Denken Sie daran, nicht zu viel zu füttern."

Silver chuckles. "Es ist in Ordnung." He looks a bit more at the color palette of the changeling's disguise, noticing similarities to a pony's he knows. "Du erinnerst mich ein bisschen an eines meiner Fohlen. Er war auch ein Pegasus mit gleichem Fell und Mähne. Er hatte jedoch einen gelben Streifen durch seine Mähne. Sein Name war 'Spectral Streak'."

Brie squats down near Kerr.
"Its not ideal, but it will have to do for now. Your brother - Ihr bruder - will be here soon. I don't speak your language. The only reason I can speak it at all is cuz,... nevermind that. Relax a bit, its been a stressful day for me, so I can only imagine how its been for you."

Iron does not react to Kerr reaching his laying form. He can almost visualize it. How he would laugh handsomely while having her sister on his back. 'Muahaha. You will never defeat me!' he would say to his brother, which would then be replied with his own retort. Iron would then lay down her sister on the floor and have a fight, where he usually let his little brother win. It was a nice memory for him.

The little foal seems uncertain, but comes closer. He licks his lips, and then opens his jaw to bite the air in front of Iron. It almost looks as if he is biting into the hindquarters of some great beast. A green and purple energy starts to flow from Iron into the foal's mouth.

"It was unthinkable. I can't imagine what he must have gone through, and I got there late. The others were....

"Oh shit, not this again. Uhm! Uhm!" he flails his hooves a bit, unsure how to respond to this development.

>>85825
Iron's little brother becomes fuzzy. Then his sister. Then the whole image... bleeds, of color, slowly. It becomes sad. Unpleasant, joyless. At first it's just this sense of of the same scene, but in rote. Like it has no more meaning. Then, a memory comes up. Ash. Ash fairly pretty and calm and helping ponies. Then this to becomes grey, and there is a sort of shock to the whole scene. Not shock in the sense of surprise, a feeling almost of electric shock. Like somepony were intentionally trying to incentive him to stay away. As all of this happens, Iron feels a cold over coming him. At first, it could be an open window. Then it is something more. It feels kind of like how he felt a few nights ago, jumping into the water, and then walking out into the January night. That kind of cold.
After some time of this, the colt closes his mouth, and the feeling subsides. He does not feel any weaker, nor does he think he will have lasting headaches.
>>85826
The little colt sits and draws energy from Iron for some number of seconds. If you aren't going to burn the Changeling with cold iron, you may as well be glad he is well fed and not in the mood for Bat

Iron is very surprised, even scared at what is happening to his memories. He pants for a bit, not really grasping what is going on, the cold and electricity making him involuntarily shiver. When the colt finishes up his feeding, he tries to remember the same scenes that were recently greyed out.

Und wenn du das nicht willst, wenn du dich nicht auf diese Weise fühlen willst, kannst du nicht nein sagen oder zurückschlagen, wenn sie immer noch versuchen, dich zu ernähren, oder sogar von Soldaten getötet. Es würde dich nicht gut fühlen oder glücklich machen. Es würde Sie traurig machen, Angst, allein.

He picked up Changeling-speak not sure of the in-universe word for the language during the war by reading intelligence reports and documents he stole from the Changelings, and he's put it all together to try to at least speak some passable form of the language. He's not very good at it, but he can at least muddle through it. Actually getting a chance to speak it with Wesley is helping. Just don't ask him to read anything particularly advanced.

With the knife drawn, the Changeling turns his back so that Iron and Brie are to either side. He then entirely drops the disguise, reverting to Changeling form. The hatchling already has a ray on its back, which is stood up in a display of what must be assertion
"Hiss!"
>>85865
He does not look pleased, and transforms to his changeling form. Big blue eyes with no whites, a red ray for a mane. Little tube like ears that are 'cut' in two places. Large fangs, two inches long even as a child and a long, narrow, snake-like tongue. Wing covers of a greenish color over dragonfly-like wings. A translucent blue green belly that looks a little full. A short cut tail that has holes in it. A horn on the head of the same solid black as the rest of his chitinous body. And of course, the famous holes in the legs.

"Do not worry, little one. Brie is just a dumb bat who does not understand how to defuse a situation." He pats the now undisguised changeling. "Brie," points at the batponnt, "dumb."

"Says the good-for-nothing colt who didn't even have the sense to disengage when there were guns trained on him, and then when I finally do bail his ass out, he wanders to a tavern. Meanwhile, THIS little guy was trapped in the worst sex-dungeon I've ever seen. But go on. Tell him how I'm dumb, having pulled him out of there and brought him back here, apparently just in time to be molested."

Well, Ash already knows Ponish (what you would probably call in DnD "Common") and whatever the other language she can speak is. The Celestialist religious workers as well as ponies and griffons from the Arcturian Order speak Latin. Blue speaks the pony version of Greek, which they speak in Nimbusia, and might even be able to speak another language I didn't immediately recognize. Silver can speak Cyrillic, which is spoken in Severyana. Changelings speak whatever this universe's version of German is. Griffons in the Griffonian continent speak this universe's versions of French, Italian, or German, depending on the country they're from. Ponies from the River Republic in Griffonia speak this universe's version of Polish. Not sure how many others there are.

I was hoping to learn Celestial for Communicating with Good-aligned outsiders and magical beasts.
Wait, ponies have different languages? How many?
And why do changelings speak German? They're nothing like germans. Besides, they need to speak other creatures languages to feed, and they mostly seem to feed off of ponies.

"Judging by the changeling's reaction to your impulsive action of threatening me with a knife, the changeling is more scared by that than mere tickling. Besides, I am trying to see what other methods a changeling can use to extract love, and no, I am not going the sex route. Like I said, he is too small for me." Iron deadpans at Brie. "Stop trying to act like a hero and sheathe the knife."

"Denken Sie, wir wissen das nicht? Deshalb müssen wir entweder betrügen oder mit Gewalt gewinnen. Das Pony wird immer widerstehen. Sie werden uns Monster nennen und uns jagen. Sie werden in unsere Bienenstöcke eindringen und unsere Königinnen töten. In Vraks bekamen wir den süßen Honig der Arbeiter. Es gab nie genug und viele meiner Brüder und Schwestern fielen zu Staub.

Because I wanted them to speak a language that was foreign, but not entirely alien. Now shut up. If you need more reason, it's because in the mod they are a reskin of Nazi Germany under Hitler. If that is not a good enough reason I don't give a shit, I like having intelligent creatures that are capable of speech yet can't speak directly with most of the characters, and I always love throwing in bonuses to players who bother to google translate foreign phrases.

Can I assume Dark Star will now be taken care of so I can fetch Blue Skies, fill her in, and head to the tavern to make sure everything is going smoothly?

I have no idea how many, but it's a fair assumption to say there's a pony equivalent to most of the major languages we have here on Earth. That's just how many I've seen from the mod and from this particular game.
I imagine German is the language taught to Changelings from the moment they're hatched, and over time, they pick up the languages of nearby countries so they can better blend in. Since Chrysalis has united the changelings under the idea that they don't have to hide among ponies to obtain love, I imagine most changelings being born around this time won't even bother with trying to learn other languages, and will stick with their own native one.

"Und Sie glauben nicht, dass das die Dinge für unsere beiden Leute noch schlimmer macht? Ponys fürchten sich natürlich vor dem, was sie nicht verstehen, und die meisten Ponys haben niemals die Möglichkeit, Veränderungen zu verstehen. Wenn Sie ihnen beigebracht haben, dass Sie nicht die Monster sind, von denen Sie glauben, dass Sie sie sind, würden sie nicht negativ reagieren. Sie begrüßen Sie vielleicht nicht immer, aber Sie würden Sie auch nicht hassen. Diese? Was macht Chrysalis? Es lässt die Ponys denken, dass du die Monster aus ihren Geschichten bist. Sie fürchten dich nicht mehr, weil sie dich nicht verstehen, sie fürchten dich jetzt, weil sie denken, dass sie dich verstehen. Und wenn sie sich entschließen, sich zu wehren, wird es für eines unserer Leute nicht gut enden. Viele werden wegen zu vieler Missverständnisse sterben."
After a couple seconds, he realizes he's arguing with the changeling equivalent of a teenager. "Ich weiß, ich kann Sie nicht anders überzeugen, aber stellen Sie sich eine Welt vor, in der sich keiner unserer Völker vor einander fürchtet. Wo wir lernen, einander zu verstehen und zu respektieren, und diese Unterschiede zwischen uns. Ich kann mir vorstellen, dass das Essen, das man von Ponys in dieser Welt bekommen würde, viel erfüllender wäre als das Essen von Ponys, die um ihr Leben fürchten."
Silver shrugs as best as he can with a changeling on his back. "Ich weiß es nicht, nur zum Nachdenken."

I really thought I responded to that one.... Hmmm. Anyways
The unicorn says "Let me guess, the foal had a very cute mother?" He stops laughing
"Anyways, this isn't that uncommon. What you have here is a dearth of Harmony magic. The magic that is love and friendship at its essence, and makes up the life force of beings. This is no physical problem." He waves an instrument of some kind over Dark Star
"Alright, it doesn't look like she got you too bad" he holds back a laugh. "You are not at the point that you cannot regenerate harmony. Don't worry, the life force they take should come back on its own. Chocolate and sugar can help the process, as can being around friends and those you love. But expect to feel weakened at least the next 12 hours. Rest can help as well. And try to stay away from certain cute mares. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is"

A chill and (depending on temperment) uncomfortable silence echoes through the room. Brie has a casual stance, but he's visibly on edge, and his eyes never waver from Iron.
>>85908
I'm venting a bit. Iron just has the worst luck when dealing with traumatized foals. Fuck's sakes. I tried being nice to the little foal, attempting to find an easier way to help the changeling to feed which judging from the genome reference, it doesn't matter and I get a hiss and a knife pointed at me. Sure, Iron has touched the foal but he never complained until the tickling and he does a hiss of discontent and Brie decides to be a hero without informing Iron that, hey, this changeling has been abused physically so no touching until Iron touches him. No, Iron was not informed how was the changeling found or what state he was in, just something ominous like 'ooh, he has bad stuff happen to him'. Man,
that stuff is frustrating, specially since I knew OOC but could not act on it.
>>85911
Iron lays on the floor in the corner, not wanting to disturb the changeling any further. His expression is still frustrated, but not really threatening. He starts doing a light tap on the floor to keep him occupied.

Alright.
Since it's about 8 o'clock, Sister Ash would try to get ready to put both foals to bed when she's sufficiently calmed them down, and then she'd go to bed herself, since she's had a terribly rough day.
Also it's 2:00 am where I am, I I think I'm going to call it a day as well.

Brie sighs.
"Not much to it really. I was in and out of the house before anyone even knew I was there. I picked up a few things from the main house - still haven't looked them over yet - and came back to run interference. Thats when I came across you and Onyx at the guard booth. I had planned on getting the guard drunk and then blaming a bunch of shenanigens on him later, but that didn't pan out. After you left, I set fire to the house and then alerted the guards to the fire so that I could go in and out of the scene without being discrete. I saw the others entering the pool house, and so I kept watch outside. I expected them to come out quickly, but they took their time so I went inside." He goes quiet after that. "When I entered," he says finally, "there was a secret room. With a bed. With chains all around it. Beyond that room was a room with cages. In it were Kerr, his brother, and a pair of foals that priestess retreated with. The stench was unpony, and the sight,... I've seen some shit in my day, but that shook me."

"But 'his little secret' is missing the one thing that makes it bad, which is the foals." Iron pokes his chin. "Besides, Star was carrying something important for the exact purpose to collect evidence of wrongdoing. It was a small rectangular box if I remember correctly." He ponders. "Apart from that, did you not stop and consider how the others got in the house themselves?"

Iron is a bit annoyed by his lack of information but cannot blame him. He wasn't at the planning.

"Alright then."
I write down the following:
Evidence collected. Dungeon in pool house. Foals rescued/secure. Dark Star injured, recovering. Slight complication of the fire type. New development. Meet back with us for more details.
I then fold up the message and hand it over.
"Thank you for your help sir."

"Yes. Excuse me, but I do not believe we have had proper introduction, yet, even though you appeared out of nowhere to lend us aid. I am Silver."
>>85944
"Yes, there were two. Brothers." He seems a bit worried about Iron's statement about causing distrust, especially knowing what that changeling has been through. "What exactly did you do that would cause distrust in this one?"
>>85946
Silver turns to Kerr, his voice returning to its paternal tone, even if he's not sure if it's having a positive effect on his voice. "Hallo Kerr. Ich habe deinen Bruder zu dir zurückgebracht." As he says this, he helps Wesley off his back and onto the floor.

"I have gone as far as doing some tickling to see if I can produce a substitute to using up memories to feed a changeling. So far it is unsuccessful. Now Kerr is untrusting again. I could try to put some memories to surface again but I dislike the feeling."

"What the fuck" Brie whispers indirectly.
>>85950
"It is nice to meet you, Brie." He seems amused at how Brie reacts to Silver speaking Changeling. "What, ponies can learn more than just Ponish. Я говорю на одном из этих языков прямо сейчас."
>>85951
"Yes, it is feeling of him feeding on your inner Harmony and life force. Also emotion, but that is tied to Harmony. It is meant to be unpleasant." He sighs. "Just...try not to tickle him any more, okay?"
>>85952
He rotates his hoof around. "Ehhhhhhhh...Ein bisschen."

Iron deadpans at Silver. "A little too late for that. Pretty sure he wants me to be a one pony's length right now." He huffs. "Sorry, I am a bit angry at my predicament." He continues laying on the floor.
>>85955
I was thinking Changish tbh
>>85952
Iron decides to surface some other happy thoughts like when his brother was born. He swore to him that he would protect him against everything after that. Now he does not need his protection anymore. He chuckles.
"I need some air," he glances at Kerr. "Ich returnen." And then to the others "Keep an eye on them, but try not to get feelsy around them."
Doppelgangan
>>85965
Iron shrugs. "It may be the injustices the foals have to suffer against this Comte bastard. If that is not it, then I do not know what it is."

<Nein, ich dachte einfach nicht, dass du ihnen vertrauen würdest
>Und mich nicht. Ich werde kämpfen oder rennen, wenn sie versuchen, mich zu verletzen. Bis dahin schmecken sie gut
<Sie schmecken gut. Aber sie werden dich nicht verletzen. Dieses Pony ist nett. Er ließ mich füttern und ein anderes Pony ließ Sie füttern

The foal is yapping away in his weird speak, but Iron does catch his interest. He stares at Iron while talking, like a dog looking at food

"No" He shakes hooves

Wesley says this remark to Silver about his brother Kerr
"Mein Bruder ist aggressiver und paranoider als ich. Ich bin überrascht, dass er ihn so ruhig fand"
But Kerr responds
>Was hätte ich machen sollen? Sollte ich dort geblieben sein? Getötet werden?
So Wesly says
Nein, ich dachte einfach nicht, dass du ihnen vertrauen würdest

"I'll be back if my friends or i get into more trouble."
Then Dark Star turns around and walks towards the door

>>85967
Wechselbalg it is.
>>85968
Silver smiles, even if he could barely keep up with the conversation. "Es freut mich das zu hören. Jetzt muss ich ins Krankenhaus gehen, um sicherzustellen, dass die Belastung meines Körpers nicht zu groß ist. Wenn du diesem Pony, Iron, vertrauen kannst, um dich zu überwachen, während ich weg bin, werde ich zurückkehren, sobald ich kann."
>>85966
Silver then turns to Iron. "More importantly: can I trust you to look over them while I am gone? Their feeding has taken its toll, and I wish to make sure it has not left any lasting effects on me."

He lets out a playful bit of evil laughter. "Muahahahahaha! Nun wird nichts, was Sie sagen, vor mir verborgen! Muahahahahahahahaaaaaa!"
After the laugh subsides, he genuinely smiles at the two disguised changelings. "Im Ernst, ich komme bald wieder. Dann können wir darüber reden, ob wir Sie möglicherweise nach Hause bringen könnten."

Silver sticks out his tongue right back at Kerr before answering the door.
Most likely. I'll just assume he'll watch the changelings.
>>85980
Silver answers through the door. "Yes, yes, just one moment." He opens the door, smiling when he sees Spark. "Ah, there you are. I assume you saw Star to hospital?"

He responds
"Just one moment" And picks up a telephone. In less than a minute, Blue Skies comes prancing through a door straight ahead and to Dark Star's right. This is the first time she has come from this direction. She approaches Dark Star

"I will try not to." He welcomes Spark into his room. Before heading out for the hospital, he removes his equipment, and the evidence he gathered from Comte's house, leaving him with only his clothes and a very-much lightened saddlebag. "Also keep close eye on evidence. We will need it if we are to destroy Comte."

She looks sweet as always, Azure white feathers and Sky Blue mane
"Hello. I got the message.
She takes him somewhere a little more private
"It said there was a 'new development' and you have the foals? I just came back from the scene. It turns out we didn't need a warrant, there was a 'fire.' We implanted an agent with the Batlimare PD on the scene"

"Excellent. This will go lovely with evidence gathered on the scene. We might be able to find out more about subversive activity. So tell me, you rescued the foals, yes? They were there?"
How is he going to separate out the pictures? Aren't they all on the same film roll?

Oh i was thinking it was like a polaroid
"Yes, they were..." Dark Star's Distraught look grows more substantial "Chained up in a basement in the pool house. the sick buck... was in fact Doing Things to them But his deviancy didnt stop there he had changling hatchlings in cages down there as well. they were malnourished and i felt bad for them so i fed one. the doctor says i need to be around loved ones and eat lots of chocolate and sugar."

At that first part, she smiles grandly, and almost laughs in joy
"This is glorious! It will be on every paper in East Equestria"
On the Changelings
"Well, that kind of makes sense. Shapeshifting is useful for sex fantasies"
On feeding the Changeling
"What you knowingly let a Changeling eat part of your soul?"
>>86010
It moves up and... is it about to pet Spark?

>>85967
Iron now thinks of how his sister was conceived. Mother always said that she looked just like her. She had her eyes, that is for sure. A slightly slender looking Earth Pony with green coat and even greener mane. He wonders how she is doing. His siblings are his best friends after all.

Iron nods. "One of them is Kerr. The other is Wesley, if I recall what Silver said correctly." A pause, followed by some light hoof tapping on the floor. "You should know which one is which if you try to force one of them to approach me. Kerr should probably hiss at me and try to break free from your grasp. The other would be more cautious but not as fearful to be near me."

Iron is surprised. He then thinks back to his first actual fight with his brother. He has grown and learned so much. His unarmed technique has far surpassed Iron's, even with his lower strength. He knew how to dodge and weave through his punches with such grace. It was the first time he lost for real against him, and he felt damn proud of him. He was going to be a great stallion one day.

Iron does not react again. It should be a nice apology to give him some more love.
After the fight, his brother helped him out and shook hooves in mutual respect. Iron remembers hugging him and congratulating him for a good fight. His brother hugged back, a tender embrace between two brothers. It was an honor to be beaten by him. A pat on the back and they both left off to celebrate with the family. The lunch he tasted was one of the best he has ever eaten. Father congratulated them on a good fight, mother hugged us both and tended to our wounds and sister simply nodded in understanding. It was one of the best days Iron had in his past.

A stream of green and purple goes from Iron into the small drone's mouth
The taste of the food in the memory becomes duller dull, then almost like the taste of eating dirt. Pride becomes lesser, then numb. The hugs become cold. Senses of fear and apprehension that had always been present in the memory now stand out, as there is no other feeling to drown it. He feels physical pain. It is the same physical pain as he experienced in the memory, but whereas before its presence was easy to ignore, it is now at the forefront. What else is there to feel when nothing but pain, sadness, and fear remain?
For all of this, it does not leave his mind, and he still feels he could stand if he wanted to. The little drone stops, and sits. It's belly is large, with a little blue light past the translucent blue hide

Iron is a bit dazed, but understands what must be done in order to take care of changelings. "I... think so. It will pass away soon, I would think." He shivers uncomfortably, feeling the pain and fear of losing against him, hurting his own pride. "He just needed some love, that is all." He does not change his prone position.
>>86042
"I hope that counts as an apology, Kerr." he smiles weakly.

I had had the DC at about a 15, which means that Iron's combined 13 wouldn't be good enough. But then again, I think Iron has a couple points from constitution that if added, would reach 15. Also these are children, not full grown Incubi drones, so they maybe should have a lower DC of like 12\\
The little bug licks his lips. He appears sated

"I cased her a bit when she was at the bar, and I've seen the outside of her house, but I haven't made a job out of it yet. I was waiting for a good opportunity and then I got caught up with you ponies in the dock mission. I haven't had a chance to get back to it, but in light of these two (indicating the changelings) I have to wonder if she might not be caught up in it. Not being a public official would give her leeway for interacting with unsavory individuals in business dealings without extensive media scrutiny. Its just a hunch, but worth looking into I think." He's silent for a moment, then turns to the changelings. "Hallo Kerr, hallo Wesley. Wie geht es ihnen?"

Iron nods. "I understand. Be sure to keep these foals safe for now. I will be back after checking up on Ash." He finally puts all of his armor pieces and shield on his back. "Forget about the whole 'help me with equipping my armor' thing, Spark." With that, Iron exits the room. Destination: The Abbey.

Kerr says to Brie
“Ich bin ok. Dieses Pony schmeckt gut”
Kerr is closest to Iron, but still keeps his distance
Wesley is touching Spark, evidently seeing if Spark bites
He turns to Brie, still surprised he speaks Wechselbach
“Ich bin ok. Der alte Hengst ist nicht hier, also bin ich etwas unsicher”
>>86063
She stifles a laugh
“Second one this hour. Go see this doctor”
When he gets to the unicorn doctor, he can see that he too, is stifling a laugh
“Let me guess. She was posing as a single mother”

Don't forget Brie was about to stab one of the innocent guards in a public place. He also repeatedly hinted at the burglary while the party was inside and unfinished. He also committed minor arson while the party was still inside and didn't know how to escape; in his haste to save himself and his cargo he knocked over Spark and left the three stallions in a very suspicious place with sirens in the distance. The only reason they managed to escape was due to heavy dime distortion by the GM turning four minutes into a half hour. So very "wise"
I'm guessing Brie is chaotic neutral?
>>85564

That would also include breezies, right?
>>85585
If ever in doubt, perform a PEST analysis
I've gotta admire this group for their pessimistic and gloomy response to dice. First you have Silver almost re-rolling a new character on not just one but two occasions, then you have have Star being an utter edgelord because of one drain. The melodrama is the most entertaining part of being an observer.
How would a changeling drain affect you if you couldn't feel anything in the first place?
>>85779
As a matter of fact, suits of armor in medieval times cost as much as a car if not more. The fact that they still run in the thousands today despite steel being dirt cheap and machining tools available should tell you something (to be fair, there are far fewer skilled blacksmiths today).
Also, adoption can be really expensive depending on the country, laws in place, and processing. It may be that the "ransom" could simply be a fee to handle all the paperwork that goes with adoption.

Silver doesn't have much of a sweet tooth, himself, but if the doctor said it will help...
He grabs a few chocolate bars (a dozen: 4 plain, 4 dark, 4 with almonds), and brings them to the cashier to ring them up.

I understand. I think the player made Ash go to sleep some posts ago. Iron just wants to witness the scene to confirm Ash's presence in the abbey, then he would fuck off.
"Thank you." Iron proceeds to go upstairs to see how Ash is doing. Hopefully she is not wounded.

Whether Silver can actually find a satisfactory array of toys in a general store, or has to go to a specialty toy store I don’t care to specify, but among toys, he can find:
Children’s books
Little steel Army soldiers, these of both pre-war royal guards and wonderbolts, as well as Great War era Equestrian soldiers, which remain on the shelves despite their “politically incorrect” status
Stackable bricks, that may be combined into many combinations like houses or railways
Steel toy cars that are painted. Firetrucks and dumptrucks
Steel warplanes, also of Great War models
Blankets
Toy weapons
Pony dolls

It's been a while since Silver's bought toys, but he wants the changelings to at least have something to do or play with. He grabs a little of everything: a selection of various toy soldiers, a set of stackable bricks, a couple toy cars, a firetruck, and a warplane, a pair of blankets, a game of Chutes and Ladders, a game of Checkers, some marbles, some jacks, a toy gun and toy sword, and a couple pony dolls. He also grabs a couple more chocolate bars of the milk chocolate variety. He's not sure if changelings like chocolate, or if they can even eat chocolate, but he figures even if they don't/can't, there are others who will. With all of this gathered, he brings everything to the cashier to be rung up.

Once he leaves the embrace, he smiles at and chuckles at Kerr's answer. "Ich bin sehr froh, dass du ihn nicht getötet hast!"
With both changelings answered, he looks at both of them. He's a little nervous about how the toys he bought the two will be received, but he knows he'll deal with it either way. "Ich habe dir zwei Sachen besorgt, während ich draußen war. Würdest du gerne sehen?"

No, when he heard that there was a fire reported at his house, he tried to go on scene, then was rushed away to a hotel. With a police escort to 'protect he and his family from possible arsonists and assassins' of course. When we have all of the evidence in, then we will nab him.

He pulls out the various toys, games, and blankets he bought from the store, and sets them on the floor of his room. "Ich habe diese für dich und deinen Bruder gekauft. Ich dachte, du würdest gerne etwas zu tun haben. Ich hoffe sie gefallen dir."

I'm not sure what it means exactly, I'm only just getting back to it now, but I'm hoping it might give a name, or an address, or something that can be used to find out more about their operation."

Silver looks fairly awkward at this moment. He rubs the back of his neck in embarrassment. He sounds genuinely sorry. "Es tut mir Leid. Im Nachhinein war es nicht die beste Wahl. Ich habe gerade alles gekauft, was verfügbar war." He levitates one of the books over to himself to look at the title. "Ich weiß, dass du diese nicht lesen kannst. Aber wenn Sie möchten, könnte ich sie Ihnen vorlesen."
>>86163
This clicks with what he found during his own investigation of the Burgher residence. He looks fairly amused. "So, I will assume it was you who cut painting out of its frame."

If he had to guess, it looks to him like the book is intended to be a cipher for some sort of encryption. There are a few numbers at the beginning that could have any sort of various meanings.

Wesley seems excited by this proposition
"Yay! Das ist nett!"
Wesley has also begun playing with a toy firetruck. He starts to bat it around with his hoof, to push it forward, almost like a cat.
Kerr has wrapped himself in a blanket, where only his big blue eyes and black muzzle are visible through. He has grabbed one of the little pony dolls and has placed in his mouth, biting down on the squeeking little thing, held behind his fangs. He has picked up the toy gun, and pretends to shoot it at the toy soldiers

"There might have been a painting," he says guiltily beforem is brow furrows for a moment "... but its only fair because I missed out on my share of whatever was at the docks!" but his expression becomes passive again.

Kerr's swinging is fairly simple, a right-to-left downward swipe to knock the painted tin soldiers over onto their side. He seems to be trying to make aggressive sounds like a 'rah!,' while doing so, but the doll in his mouth stifles that. The doll is far enough into the back of his mouth that his fangs do not risk breaking it.

He lets out another, smaller laugh. "Sometimes, it is difficult to develop reputation even when everypony notices you." He takes a dark chocolate candy bar out of his bags, and takes a bite out of it, enjoying the bitter taste combined with the sweetness.

He begins to retell the tale he just read himself, though now translated by him into Wechselbalg. Sometimes he has to pause for a second while he thinks of an unfamiliar word to translate, and sometimes a translation isn't exactly what it says in the story, but Silver feels he does a good job of retelling it to the young changelings.

Exactly why a rabbit thinks he can transform into various creatures and objects is an element of the story that gives no pause to the little Wechselbachs. The idea of an all living mother who will care about and even track down and find her lost children to protect them is one that translates very well to the pair, both for their cultural background and for their present situation

"Right..." Silver looks conflicted, and the fact that he doesn't know if he can trust her outright isn't helping in that regard. But, he also knows he can't hide them from her. So, he takes in a deep breath. "Blue, I need to know I can trust you on this. You will know exactly what I mean when you see. I need to know. Give me your word, sworn on everything you hold dear: your mother, Dark Star, your values, everything." He gives her a pleading look. "Please."

He puts his forehooves on either side of Blue, and puts his face close to hers, like how they were earlier when Silver was reminiscing about being with Storm. He sounds fairly intense when he speaks, like he's really trying to drive a point home. "Give me your word, Blue. I would not ask this of you if I thought you could not do it, but I need to know I can trust you with this before I tell you any more."

Silver looks very much frustrated at this. He gives her some space, not happy at all with this. "I presume you heard that he had young changelings captured as well? After we fed them, we took them to my room here at tavern. They are there right now. I do not care if you report me to police. I care if you report them to police. Blue, that is why I needed to know I could trust you with this. I needed to know you would not try to report them to police."

Silver still looks unhappy that she couldn't even give him her word beforehoof. "They are too young to protect themselves, and they are in need of such protection, especially in place that is very hostile to changelings regardless of their circumstances, so yes. I am protecting them until I can find way to get them back home safely."

She looks seriously confused
"Why would you knowingly help Changelings?"
When she's done pondering that aloud, she sighs, and adds
"Normally our concern with Changelings, when caught, is that they are spies for the Hegemony. Outside of that, we generally consider them to be illegal aliens, and deport them"

Silver doesn't fully understand her confusion. But at the same time, he still looks like he's sore over her not giving her word. "From what they have said, yes. He would show them pictures of mares to turn into and force them to transform into these mares. As colts he had bought were orphans...it would not surprise me if he tried for some...interfamilial relations." He looks sickened by the prospect.

"It is difficult to make a Changeling not enjoy sex with a pony. They must have been doing something entirely wrong if you think they were victims. Anyways, if they actually were mistreated - and not just playing the sympathy card with you - this isn't exactly how we want the story to go down in public. Chrysalis will use it as propaganda that East Equestria mistreats changelings, and it could make Changelings more sympathetic to the local public, which we also don't want"

You hear that a pair of young Changelings were kidnapped from a port in Changeling lands by ponies. You hear that they were horribly mistreated by ponies in ways that cannot begin to be described. And all of this in East Equestria, pony land Chrysalis graciously allowed to remain ruled by ponies. What would you think? Wouldn't you be more inclined to believe that ponies are horrible monsters? Monsters that will steal your hatchings at night and treat them horribly? Monsters that need to be controlled? Ironic, I know, but irony is lost on situations like these."

If you keep them here against their will, and changelings find out, or if you kill them, it will be many times worse than if you had just returned them. Make big event out of it, make sure all of Changeling Hegemony hears from you about how you found out that Comte had captured and abused changelings and how you had brought him to justice, and how you are returning changelings to their home and their country, where they belong. Make sure they all see with their own eyes and spread first-hoof account on their own before Chrysalis even has chance to direct narrative."

Some of them still lay prey to stallions in taverns, or swapped foals and the elderly, though they never dared bite the hoof that fed them in Farbrook. Eventually, the nice ones became associated with the bad. I heard the same happened in the Crystal Empire, with a rogue Changeling named "Thorax." But Chrysalis stopped any opposition in her own empire before anything could come of that"

Silver reflects on this for a small bit. "It is there as it is everywhere: few bad apples spoil bunch. Not all changelings are good. But not all are bad, either. It is same for ponies. Key is to not let those perceptions taint entirety of our view. Just as we take ponies on their own merits, on their own character, it would do us well to do same with others. Not every changeling is Chrysalis, just as not every pony is Comte. We strive for good, route out evil wherever it may be found, whoever might be causing it, and we do not let it consume us."

Silver reflects on this for a small bit. "It is there as it is everywhere: few bad apples spoil bunch. Not all changelings are good. But not all are bad, either. It is same for ponies. Key is to not let those perceptions taint entirety of our view. Just as we take ponies on their own merits, on their own character, it would do us well to do same with others. Not every changeling is Chrysalis, just as not every pony is Comte. We strive for good, route out evil wherever it may be found, whoever might be causing it, and we do not let it consume us." Silver looks at Brie sticking his head out of the door. "Come in or stay out here, do whatever you think is best. Either way, I will get you your evidence for you."

"Es ist gut, das zu hören, aber ich möchte nicht, dass er in der Nähe ist, wenn er so aggressiv bleibt wie er war." Silver turns to Blue, motioning to the evidence pile. "There is evidence. There is film roll of likely very graphic nature, if recording equipment we found in basement is any indication. Property deed for meeting place and member list for group called "Golden Pones". Correspondences between Comte and other politicians of same kind of ideology, talking about combatting Black Hooves through elections. Two books of very disgusting content that either fueled Comte's sickened desires, or helped start them. And 2,000 Bit check that was to be sent from Comte to Antonio Prancesco, likely for purchase of more foals."

But there are many more soldiers around both Kerr and Iron which Iron purposefully placed them like that. He looks at Kerr and then at the soldiers, signalling him to beat up the remaining toys.

"The different classes have different interests, different mindsets, and so forth. Pegasi are more connected to the old ways and are more aware of the threats against the nation, or at least that was true in Nimbusia. Unicorns, on the other hoof, were connected with merchant traders, and Earth Ponies just wanted more land and money. Rule by the alliance of the merchant class and the poor is, well, it's not always a good thing. But explaining that would take much longer."

"Hmm..." Silver drops his grin as he reflects upon this. "I suppose. It was never really issue we had here in Equestria. All three races worked with same goal in mind, to make Equestria better place where we could all live in peace. Perhaps that is effect of being home of Harmony, or effect of three pony tribes uniting in spirit of friendship. But we always saw ourselves as ponies first-and-foremost, and as our respective races after that." Silver casts a glance over to Brie. "Though there were other pony races we could have, should have, done more for, or seen as we saw each other."
Was Prancesco a unicorn, and did he have a red-maned unicorn mare with him when Silver went and saw him?

Earth Ponies also serve in military, or run businesses, or work in government, and there were plenty of rich Earth Ponies in Canterlot, many ground-bound nobles who had Princesses' ears. At every level, even if what we did was different, there were working-class unicorns, pegasi and Earth Ponies, middle-class unicorns, pegasi, and Earth Ponies, and landed-class unicorns, pegasi, and Earth Ponies.

Iron is bitten. He is unsure if this really hurts or not. But Kerr does leave his nose unprotected while biting so... Iron boops Kerr while his other hoof is being bitten.

Silver is slightly less startled. "...Had I known you were here, I would have bought drink for you as well."
He sighs at what Dark Star said. "I do not wish to get into big long discussion, especially right before bed, and especially right before we are to have friendly drink together."
He passes the whiskeys he got for Star and Skies to their respective ponies.

"Changelings don't kill by draining. The worst they can do is completely drain a creature of all joy, happiness, love, friendship, laughter, and warm feeling, and leave them unable to recover, as well as unable to perform either that magic that distinguishes them as individuals or that magic that comes with what race of creature they are.

No. Because that possibility creeps me out

Realizing that he's nodding off while sitting there thinking, Brie gets up and walks over to where Wesley is lying. He pats the Ling on the head gently. "Ihr ist guten kinder." He says softly, looking at Wesley and Kerr. "Wir denken etwas."

"Like removing Chrysalis from power, eliminating all trace of her influence from Changeling government, and replacing it with one that is more willing to cooperate with ponykind.

Scratch that. Maybe if he does it on the floor. Kerr will do it on the bed. He gently lays down in a circular motion, resting his head on his forelegs and closing his eyes to show what he should do. He then opens one eye to see if he follows his lead.

>>86836
"He is talking about Kerr, one who took unicorn disguise."
"As for Star, I hope it is just his age, and lack of wisdom. With your expert guiding hoof, I am not too worried that he will get himself into trouble." Blue finds a spot on his head where, if she pets it, Silver gets a face like he's about to sneeze, but never actually does. He seems to really enjoy it, at least.

>>86838

"That feeling of laying down with loved one and being so close you could be as one pony? Such warmth, softness, and joy? It is wonderful feeling." He's managed to keep it clean and fairly well-kept, everything considered. He enjoys the feeling of her hooves running through his mane. "I was usually big spoon, when Storm and I cuddled. Just made sense with me being bigger. She was very soft, but sometimes she liked to torture me in that position, using her wings to tickle my barrel. It would usually take nip at ears to get her to stop." Silver chuckles at the surprisingly fond memory.
Silver takes a drink from his whiskey, at looks at Blue Skies' lap where she's sitting. It looks like a comfortable pillow to him, at the moment.

"Somehow I doubt it will just end without some consequences later on." He responds to Silver while still blocking his eyes with his foreleg. "I can feel it, and I dislike feeling it."

"Thank you, Blue." He flips over so his muzzle is up against her soft belly, and uses his new position to give her a friendly embrace.

Right.
>>86883
Silver presses his muzzle a little into the soft and fluffy mass of her belly. Seeing that she enjoys the embrace, he maintains it. "I suppose this takes care of doctor's orders to seek comfort from loved ones." With his muzzle where it is, she can feel the vibrations from his speech run through her gut.
Right.

Iron rubs his temple. Great. He was not good at conforting people. He decides to cautiously move towards the noise where the crying is coming from, having to knock on a stall if needed.

Her belly is soft enough to let the muzzle in. If he moved down just slightly, he'd feel her teats. She continues petting him, almost like she is encouraging him to go to sleep

"That...*yawn*...feels quite nice..." Silver's eyes start to feel heavy from the calming motions. His muzzle slides down just barely enough to graze the top of her teats before he catches it and moves it back up.

"well when i was a foal my Dad,North Star was killed in the war against the buffalo's, i took that very hard but i don't remember crying about it. My mom tryed her best to Raise my brother and i. that was until about 5 years after that, She was out one night volunteering like she always did, in the griffon ghetto a few miles from the Farm. Thats when Shes was assaulted and Murdered,by a griffon Named Scar, the only reason i know that is because my brother and i did what celesta wouldn't,we looked into it and we found as much information as we could about Him and turned into celestia's guards. she did nothing. my brother said it was because of Her obsession with sweeping the crimes of the griffions under the rug. and a few days after we turned in the information, we had a knock on our door, it was an aspiring politician,larry berry.he told us we were going to have on the streets because of the new harmony law. She gave our farm to a bunch of Bucking Ziggers!So after that we were on the streets of Baltimare for years. my brother did what he could to feed me,even so far as going without food for a week. i hated seeing him like that....so i started stealing to feed myself so he wouldn't starve. he would teach me everything i know about politics, he had a friend in new mareland that would send us books and pamphlets about a group calling themselves the Blackhooves. he did what ever he could to make money,but no one wanted to hire an orphan that lived on the street, then all of a sudden the bits started to roll in, i think he was doing some illegal things. this went on for awhile untill celestia declared war on new mareland,because she loved griffions more than ponies. so my brother,his name was white star. joined New Mareland against celestia's tyrannical regime... after that he never came home."

Iron nods. "I see. There has been many injustices upon you. Your mother was killed by meddling in griffon business and a bunch of zebra took over the house, kicked out by the mayor himself." He closes in on Star and pats him on the shoulder on his foreleg. He opens his mouth but does not know what to say. "I am unsure of what can I say to make you feel better, but opening up to Skies could prove useful. After all, she lost her homeland, like you."

Butterflies fly across flowers on the edge of the hill. Looking over the river ponies canter about through ponyville, as the gentle sound of flowing water fills the air
To say that the apple pie tastes like raw potato would be praise beyond merit. It tastes more like wood ash, although at least with a better texture

"..." Silver slowly puts the pie back down on the plate, worrying Storm even further. She moves over to his side, throwing a wing around him.
Storm: "Okay, Silver, is something actually wrong? You've been acting weird."
Silver: "Like I said, I do not know...I think...something is wrong?" Silver looks confused about whether he should feel as though something is wrong. "My vision has been doing weird things, and my sense of taste has been almost non-existent. It has me worried..."
Storm: Storm gives him a deadpanned look. "...You know, if you have an issue with my cooking, you can just say so. I think we're beyond that stage in our relationship."
Silver: Silver looks shocked at her. "Wh-what? No! Of course not!"
Meanwhile, a sneaky Spectral Streak makes his way behind Silver Rain. He makes a clicking noise with his mouth to draw Rain's attention, then goes in for a surprise boop once Rain's head turns.
Spec: "Air tag, go!" Spec takes off into the air, leaving behind a surprised and fairly annoyed Rain.
Rain: "Celestia dangit!" He spreads his wings to be ready to take off into the sky. Silver looks over when he speaks.
Silver: "Language."
Rain flinches from the tone, but looks apologetically to his father. "Right. Sorry, dad." With that, he takes off after his brother, starting an intense game of air tag. Spec is the faster flier, but Rain is the smarter flier, resulting in an interesting chase in which Spec would try to outfly his brother, before unknowingly flying into a trap set up by Rain, and having to break off and fly in a new direction.

Spec is the faster flier, but Rain is the smarter flier, resulting in an interesting chase in which Spec would try to outfly his brother, before unknowingly flying into a trap set up by Rain, and having to break off and fly in a new direction.

When all characters fall asleep. Think Sims logic. Time goes forward at fast speed automatically when everyone goes to bed. That's why Ash has not really done anything, besides external life commitments, and Silver is currently dreaming and not waking up like you are doing
Use this time to dream something up if you feel like it.

So far it's Iron, Dark Star and maybe Silver depending on how the dream goes, apart from Spark. Maybe. Unless he just sleeps in Silver's room like you did

I'm not. Silver is currently sleeping on Skies' lap right now. You can make Brie go downstairs and check if you want. Maybe GM could make Skies carry Silver to his room which I doubt since her strength is below average just to ease your mind.
Like I said, you can always dream

I wouldn’t want Brie to advance to morning for the reason that he is sharing his environment with two other PCs

From i front of him, he can hear “Ich kann ohne mehr gehen”
From above him, out of sight, he can hear
“Ich brauche nicht, aber ich werde nehmen”

The scene is as cute as described. Some music plays softly, distantly, and the air smells of fresh blooming lavender flowers

Iron is currently talking to Dark Star that he should confess the feelings of loss that he suffered to his marefriend since she is somewhat similar but more level-headed than him. D00d, read moar.

I imagine Skies is content with letting Silver sleep there as long as he can so she can keep feeding on him without his knowledge.

Silver and Storm sit down to watch the intense game of air tag. Seeing their two colts playing together helps to put both of them at ease.
White Light is currently sitting down with a book in her telekinetic grasp. "The History of Central Equestria". It appears she's trying to learn a bit more about this particular region.

You are sticking the branch in your own wheel of your bike. Just dream up something or wake up and mingle some more. I can't really move unless I want to be a dick to Star and leave him in the bathroom without any chance to respond.

Changelings can feed passively without causing significant damage to a pony's life force. Doing so doesn't require a Fortitude save from the pony.

Again, my bad. I was under the impression that if it was important it would have been resolved in a manner such as I indicated.

So, just to clarify. Changelings can feed on emotions that are done at the moment without any draining to the victim? Like hugging them or stroking their manes?
