Occupied Equestria: B&E
Anonymous

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.

Hard to say, because it would depend on the way Dark Star does it, and more of the context. Perhaps three out of ten if he does it out of nowhere

>>86530
Kerr hisses at the Soldiers, and pounces on two more

>>86529
"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?

Iron lightly throws the soldier, pretending it flies off his forelegs, showing the 'strength' the foal has. He then starts to swat some more soldiers with determination. "Ia! Take that!" His swatting hits about 5 to 6 soldiers, greatly reducing the enemy's number advantage. "Come on, Kerr! We got this!"

Spark's concentration was focused on keeping the glass above his head, so the toy hits him right in the muzzle.

"And there are also unicorns who were members of working class, or served as soldiers, officers, priests, and scholars. Pegasi exist as working class, especially when it comes to weather factories, as teachers and business owners, and as landed pegasi in places like Cloudsdale and Canterlot. 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. From what I've heard about Nimbusia, it sounds like way it was set up, different races were locked to different classes."

"Yes, but they did not get to choose those paths. Yes, because of how our own internal magic works, different pony races tend to gravitate towards different occupations. Earth Ponies tend to become farmers and miners, Pegasi tend to become soldiers and weather workers, Unicorns tend to become scholars and aristocrats. But because we all chose those paths, we feel as though what we do in those paths benefits not only ourselves, but everypony else in Equestria. Since we chose them, it makes us happy. And those who do not want to go down those paths, like I did, what paths we go down, we feel as though what we are doing is helping just as much as those who chose different paths, and we are much happier down these paths than if we had gone down same paths everypony else went."

I mean, if someone said something in my face in a foreign language like that, I would automatically assume that it was an insult, with the added insult of trying to make it go over my head directly to my face
"Myself, I've had enough of forced tolerance or being told that I have to be accepting of new and foreign things. I don't agree with Dark Star, but he's no monster for looking out for his kind"

I mean, she did use a language Silver doesn't understand at all just a moment ago in the same manner.
"Well, I am sorry for that. But, unless Black Hooves specifically made sure you were deployed here in Equestria, it is what comes with moving to new place. I imagine it would be much same if I moved to Nimbusia, Or River Republic, or New Mareland, or anywhere."

Iron feels Kerr's foreleg on his snout. He decides to move his head back, colliding with the floor to make his boop feel weight. He is ultimately KO'd by Kerr. Cue victory noises.

Never meant she wanted it thrown back at her in the same manner

"I'm not talking about about the damned unicorn thing. The Great Mother knows that New Mareland is as bad in that regard as old Equestria. I'm talking about what you said to the pookas after Dark Star left"

I'm just saying, if she gives it out like that, she'd better be willing to take it.
What's funny is that it wasn't an insult.
"You will have to be more specific than that." Resume confused unicorn look.

Fair enough.
Listen: Silver's ears perk up as he listens for anything from the tavern that would suggest how Dark Star's doing.

Dark Star must have promised free drinks for the rest of the night or something, because it's super effective

Cheering. Is a game playing over the radio?
