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.

>>86729"oh come on,blue i was joking."
>>86732She laughs
>>86731"Sure thing"
>>86730"HISSS!"
>>86726>>86727"So... What is this fight over Changelings?"
yes, she did just bring up something they were fighting over when they are trying to make up
[1d20+11 = 17]>>86733Target spotted. Iron goes for another boop.
>>86720Brie sits there for a moment, entirely unaware of how to respond. "They're damn cute for the 'scourge of ponykind'," he Eeeee's to himself. "I get that people are scared of them because of the eating, but I can't help feeling for the little guys. They're kind of like stray kittens in a way."
>>86732>>86733Silver pays for the drinks
however much they cost, and brings them back to the table, sitting down to enjoy his drink with his friends.
>>86734Attack of opportunity!
*bite*
>>86735*startled pegasus noises*
"I didn't know you were here... Yes, I guess they can be like kittens"
>>86736Brie has arrived apparently.
>>86733"you went inside his room right? they'll go home to their occupied territories and kill ponies by draining them dry. and everyone seem ok with that because "they are so cute." Dark Star does the air quotes with his hooves
[1d20+11 = 29]>>86737Not really cuz muh improved unarmed strike but eh.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.
>>86735>>86737>>86738Silver 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.
I haven't been following what's going on downstairs, but if there is a Brie downstairs, yes he's a changeling
>>86736>>86738"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. But they are still alive, and able to feel other emotions, at least negative ones
>>86739Yes really because you are reaching under a bed towards a readied creature"Scheisse!"
>>86744No. Because that possibility creeps me out
>>86745see
>>86672>>86673>>86679etc. Brie has been upstairs ever since
>>86661 >>86745Fair enough. Ambush rulesIron laughs triumphantly. "I have bested you in the boop battle, Kerr! Yield and you may be spared from further booping!"
>>86740"Thanks."
>>86745"my mistake they will go back to their occupied lands and make the ponys suffer a fate worse than death."
>>86748"That's only at the very worst"
>>86747"Du wirst mich niemals lebend nehmen, Pony!"
[1d20+10 = 25]>>86749"I will take that as a no, then!" He then tries to reach Kerr from under the bed. Rolling grapple to see if I can drag him out of under the bed.
[1d20-2 = -9]
I don't know what the fuck that dice roll was
>>86752Reee, talk things out with Star and Skies
>>86750Changeling is caught
>>86753>>86754"Got you!" He laughs like the bad guy usually do and drags Kerr out of under the bed. He proceeds to do some huggles. He expects Kerr to put up quite a fight, then get tired.
Throw me those grapple rolls until Kerr feels tired. >>86754*shrugs*Honestly don't know what else Silver could say, but I'll try.>>86748>>86749"From personal experience, unless changeling bites hard, it is just usually uncomfortable feeling while they feed. Only reason they bit hard when we rescued them was because they were starving."
>>86749"they will all face that fate, at the hooves of these monsters" He points up towards silvers room
"they will not stop why should they? we are nothing to them. nothing but a meal ready to be eaten and then they will move on to the next meal."
>>86755"Lass mich runter, Pony!"
*wiggles*
>>86756"I take it you don't think you need he Blackhooves to deal with Chrysalis now?"
>>86757"What must be done?"
>>86758Iron keeps the huggles some more. "Are you feeling tired yet?"
>>86758"ill tell you later, right now. lets enjoy our Drinks."
Dark Star sips on his
>>86758"Oh no, Chrysalis most definitely needs to be stopped. In that I believe we are all in agreement."
>>86761"you seem to care a lot for changelings. are you sure you aren't one?"
>>86760"Alright..."
>>86762"I checked him already. He's not"
The expression on her face implies that she cannot rule out the possibility he's been replaced since then
>>86762"No, as a matter of fact, I am not. You know that. I just do not wish for genocide. There are better ways of handling this than exterminating entire species that, for all of their differences, are still like us."
>>86758Realizing 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."
>>86765Iron laughs evily. "Muahaha. I will never let you go, young foal! Unless you go to bed like a nice foal, of course." He giggles.
>>86764Dark Star rolls his eyes
"they are nothing like us, when was the last time you stole someones memories of their loved ones? they are Sub-Ponies Plain and simple."
>>86765"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. There are many changelings who do not believe in her ideas, and many more who only follow them because they see no better alternative. We need to show them alternative."
>>86768"They did not steal your memories, Dark Star. Not only that, they are still alive, like us. They have hopes, dreams, fears like us. They get happy, sad, angry like us. They have families, communities, even nations like us. No, they are not exactly like us in every aspect, but I can not see reason why we would be inherently better than them, nor reason why they would be inherently better than us."
>>86766Wesley looks adorable when pet. Kerr, wiggling around in Iron's hooves, says "Zehn weitere Minuten?"
>>86769"That is not going to be easy. Chrysalis is Popular and her government is strong. That will remain true until Crysalis's 'colonization' plan has failed"
>>86770"That is not a yes I am hearing!" Iron continues his huggle 'torture' on Kerr.
>>86769"Buck all of them, they all need to all pay,why is there no Opposition to chrysalis? because they hate all ponies and want to eat us. they love chrysalis, and will destroy us with out a second thought, they hate you. all of them, they want your children for food yet, you still worship the ground they walk on."
>>86771"Gah!"
*squeek*
>>86772"You are too pessimistic"
>>86769"You are too optimistic"
>>86773"its the truth. im a realist."
>>86773I like miss mediator SkiesIron keeps up the huggles. "So, how about it? Will you go to sleep, little one? Or will you suffer my wrath?"
>>86770"No, it will not be. It will be as difficult as fighting their entire army. But no things worthwhile in life are easy."
>>86772"There is opposition, but they have been forced from changeling lands. It is still there, but without support, they can not get anything done."
>>86773"Perhaps. But what else is there to do? We must not lose hope, no matter what. We can not give up fight until we have completely and totally won."
>>86776"They need to be
defeated before they would willingly give up there plans. And even after all of that, there is the eternal problem of Love"
>>86774"So do directly try to kill
all of them?"
>>86778"they deserve nothing less. for the suffering the ponies are going through."
>>86778Iron increases huggle intensity at his lack of response. "Feel the wrath of my grapple attack!" Cue intense huggling and nuzzling.
>>86779"So, kill them all out of revenge?"
>>86780*squeeky Squeeky*
He's mostly stopped resisting. From the aura he puts off, Iron can feel why
>>86778"I know. Defeating them is obviously first step. As for love, I imagine there are those who would help willingly, if we could dispel misunderstandings and falsehoods about changelings to ponies, and dispel misunderstandings and falsehoods about ponies to changelings. Optimistic, I know. But ponies have willingly helped changelings before."
>>86779"Even those that have had no part in this, and
want no part in this? Even young and innocent, old and feeble? They
all deserve to die in your eyes?"
>>86782"
Are they falsehoods? I sincerely doubt there would be many volunteers"
>>86781Uh, is he love drunk or what?Iron, for his part, does not understand the lack of fighting spirit Kerr is displaying right now. This does not dissuade his huggles though.
>>86782"there are no innocent changelings. they all support their queen."
>>86781"they brought this upon themselves."
>>86783"From what I have seen? Some are, some aren't."
>>86785"Not all of them."
>>86784*Changeling noises*
>>86785"If that is how you feel, can you keep quiet about it in public? They will be easier to defeat if they don't think the struggle is existential"
>>86787"do you have any proof to back that up?"
>>86789"Do
you have any proof to back up your own claim?"
>>86788Iron shrugs. He feels nice. Smooth even. All good things must come to an end though, and he gently sets Kerr on the bed.
>>86790"the hordes that blocked out the sun."
>>86788"i can keep my mouth shut."
>>86792"Is that every changeling in existence?"
>>86794"No, they did not." Silver sighs. He looks disappointed at this turn of events. "And thus, we are back at square one. And this is why I did not want to get into big long discussion before having good drink with friends."
>>86791He would feel like his disguise, in this case a colt unicorn. Kerr is sat on the bed, sitting up
>>86787"What happens when there aren't enough. well, you
know what happens when there aren't enough
>>86794"That is factually wrong. There were a few who agreed with Thorax on a closer friendship, some of the hives preferred infiltration rather than colonization and conquest, and of course there are the Griffonian hives"
>>86795"This discussion needed to happen, Silver."
>>86796Iron leans to meet Kerr at eye level. "Now, will you go to bed, Kerr?"
>>86796"They starve. But, they were starving before. It is not like prospect of more food could be any worse than that."
>>86797"Did it?" Silver looks like he's unsure about that.
>>86788Brie, exhausted from the day's proceedings, can barely kee his eyes open. "Guten nacht schon kinder. Schlafen sie gut. Wir schutzen sie."
He then crawls under the bed and curls up.
>>86799Ignore that first part, I must be losing my mind.
>>86796"And look what that got him. they will all pay for the sins of their mother."
>>86799""FOOD,Ponies are not food."
>>86795Dark Star Sips his drink
>>86798"Ich spreche kein ponyish"
>>86799"And when they starve, they go out and get food, same as any other creature. When this happens, the trust is eroded, and all back to square one"
>>86800Are you seriously going to have him sleep under
Silver's bed?
>>86803Silver is just idly looking into his still-full glass of whiskey. "I wonder if there is way to make food for them that does not require ponies..."
>>86804Eh, go for it. >>86803Iron pokes his chin. Brie just went to sleep, so no translator there. He decides to do charades. First he points at Kerr. "You," then he points at the bed and tilts his head sideways and down, like he was putting his head on a pillow. "sleep."
"Schlafen. Its the word for sleep."
>>86806"they acquired the taste, theres no going back."
>>86805Uh, hidden
>>86804Sure...
>>86806"Other Creatures. They are just less loving"
>>86807Kerr imitates his action, moving his head on on its side and moving down, then sitting back up
>>86809"That's... What?"
>>86809>>86810No response. There's little acknowledgement of the world around him, outside of the glass of whiskey in front of him.
>>86810He pokes his chin again. Maybe if he does the action, he will understand. First, he checks if he can actually fit the bed with the two residents and without crushing Brie under the bed.
>>86811The sorcerer knows this well. That's why it is a character to him.
>>86810"they will accept nothing less."
>>86815Scratch 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.
>>86815He smiles from this, at least getting a little reaction from him. One of his hindlegs starts a tapping motion, and his ears relax at her touch.
>>86816Kerr looks at Iron. Then he circles around, and lays down in a curled up ball
>>86817She continues, as this response calms her
>>86815Dark Star Finishes his drink
>>86818He leans his head into the petting, and closes his eyes. His leg continues its tapping.
>>86819Is finished
>>86820What Silver is imagining as hoof, then wing, runs through his mane is known but to him. But she continues
>>86818Iron nods in satisfaction. "Good." He thinks some more. "Iron," points at himself "goes," imitates walking somewhere, "to other place. Does Kerr," points at Kerr, "want to stay here," he points downwards, signalling the room, "or go," he does the walking motion again, "with Iron?" He points at himself again.
>>86823>giving a choiceYou must know how this will end
>>86821Dark Star gets up and goes to the bathroom
>>86823Kerr slightly tilts his head, but remains sitting in place
>>86827It is so
>>86822She continues petting him
"Does his attitude worry you?"
>>86828Iron pets Kerr. "Do not worry. Just sleep. I am going with Silver." He ruffles his mane. "I will see you soon." With that, Iron exits the room, being sure that he closes the door when he leaves.
>>86828He is very much enjoying the pets. "Yes. I feel hatred has clouded his mind, and his judgement."
>>86830Spark decides to lay at the door, so a certain two changelings don't get up and leave in the night.
>>86832He can hear Iron going down the staris.
>>86831>>86828>>86827Skies, Silver and Star see Iron coming down the stairs, rubbing his eyes and slightly yawning. "Well, I think the little ones will not be much trouble for the day. The unicorn is quite the fighter."
>>86828He goes in one of the stalls and wonders whats the point of any of this,and why this all has to happen, why he was born into this world to just lose everything.
>>86834>>86833Oh, well remove Star from the list of ponies then.
>>86831"It worries me just a little" She says, still petting
>>86832and he will be hit when the door opens
>>86834And thus Dark Star did then and there experience the meaning of life
>>86833"Silver?"
>>86833Silver is currently enjoying some nice petting from Blue. He looks really into it, too, with a hindleg tapping, his ears relaxing, his head leaning into Blue's hoof, and his eyes lazily looking over to Iron. "Indeed. He has got fighting spirit in him."
>>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.
>>86836"What Silver said." He rubs his eyes some more. "Can I get a glass of water, please?" he asks the bartender.
>>86838"He sure is a big softie when I hugged him." He chuckles tiredly. He then yawns a bit. "Had to be bitten and booped on the nose to win his affection though, but it was worth it. It was so fun."
>>86838"Dark Star isn't wrong either. Those are not pets"
>>86839"Sure thing"
>>86838"Is there any particular reason you are so responsive to petting?"
>>86841"If I had to guess, it is because a certain someone did the same to him before. Do you catch my drift?" Iron shrugs. "It could be that petting usually feels good in general."
>>86841Dark Star Starts thinking about his family
>>86839"From what I have seen, that certainly seems to be case. It just takes getting through hard exterior."
>>86840"No, and I have no intention of treating them as such." He pauses for a second. "Do you have idea of when we will be able to send them home? Other one, Wesley, he said they lived in colony near Tall Tales."
>>86841He shrugs, not really having an answer for that one. "I suppose I just am. Perhaps it is unicorn thing I do not know about."
>>86844"I would not say it was a 'hard' exterior. It is more like squeezing the orange to get its contents. You make it sound like it was a big sacrifice to interact with Kerr." Iron takes a sip of water.
>>86846"I do not think that is what I made it sounds like..." He seems unsure of himself now.
>>86842"We could turn them into Immigration tomorrow"
She pets on
>>86843Are any of them still alive?
>>86842"That's why I was asking"
>>86848"I will have to ask them in morning."
He things a bit about the things he and his wife did when they were together. "I would say she was more of cuddler than petter."
>>86847"Eh, I may be overreacting. I would not know." He rubs his eyes and sips on his water.
>>86848"Remember your promise. I want to say my goodbyes when the time comes. Please do not forget."
He shrugs. "I would expect it to be the case. A marefriend is the ultimate chance to explore every crevice and to be explored by your significant other. Petting seems like a good way to explore the other pony's body in a public place." He pokes his chin, then yawns. "I may not be thinking straight."
>>86850Iron chuckles. "Yeah, 'cuddler'. Sure thing."
>>86850She laughs a little
"You're not offended by me petting you, are you?"
>>86851"I guess that is true"
>>86851He chuckles. "Yes. 'Cuddler'."
>>86852"No, I rather enjoy it. Please, go on for as long as you want."
>>86852"What part? The whole 'petting is just exploring eachother's bodies' or that I am not thinking straight?" He chuckles.
>>86853Iron nods in understanding. "Ah, I knew it." He takes a sip of water.
>>86854"Sure"
>>86853"I too like cuddles"
She keeps petting him, part on the mane near his chin, and part further down his mane
>>86855"What mare does not like cuddles?"
>>86856"I like them more than most mares"
>>86857Dark Star checks to see if hes alone in the bathroom
>>86857"I guess I should ask Star for confirmation." He chuckles. He eyes her a bit suspiciously.
>>86860The Happy memories of his now dead family becomes to much for him to keep inside any longer and he bursts into tears as he remember how times used to be.
>>86855"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.
>>86860>>86862"Your relationship with Silver still weirds me out, even with the clarification of being a 'we are just friends who suffered similar fates'. Something just does not fit here."
>>86861https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BakWVXHSugPerhaps in his mind, he returns to a summer day many years ago, his mother, his father, and his brother all there
>>86862"D'aww, that's so sweet"
She seems to notice
"It's okay"
>>86863"Huh? What weird about it?"
>>86864He gladly rests his head on her lap, now able to tell if her lap really is as soft as it looks. "I think it was moments like that I enjoyed most. Just being there in moment with her."
>>86863"What does not fit?"
>>86864"You do not see the similarities between you and Storm? Besides the fact that both of you are pegasi, you are warriors and are wild. You do not seem to restrict yourself with fighting codes of honor, but the feeling does not come off even when I think that."
>It's okay"Now you offer your lap to him? Do you know how close it is to your private parts?" He shakes his head. "Sorry, I cannot help it." He sips some more water.
>>86865Iron watches how Silver just lays his head on Skies' lap. "This action precisely." He rubs his temple in frustration. "Do you not see how physical you two are being?"
>>86864"WHy DID THIS HAPPEN TO ME?!"
>>86865The fur that covers her stifle is soft, but her legs are, well, slim. a little muscle, and bone underneath. The back of his head could rest against her softer belly. He
could place his muzzle into her lower belly
>>86867Oh but Dark Star, it's happened to
so many little colts and fillies. Some were younger when it happened to them, some older. Some in the same way, some differently. Ash has met
dozens of little children who have suffered similarly
>>86866"I mean, maybe? There are very many pegasi warriors out there. It's kind of what we do. What is the harm of a lap? My genitals are beneath me. He can't see anything"
>>86868"Why couldnt it have been me instead of mom?"
>>86868He decides to rest the back of his head against her belly, as he's not sure how she would react to a muzzle suddenly pressed against it. He's content with the soft feeling in either case.
>>86866"I do not see much of problem with it. As long as she is okay with it, I do not feel as though we are doing anything wrong, or too physical."
>>86869She was a loving mare. A respectable mare. Like so much of Equestria's most loving she was lost
>>86870She continues petting him. She now pets a wing against his shoulder and the side of his barrel
>>86868>>86870"Sure. First is a massage, then a lap, then you would offer your flank to lay his head on. It is a gradual shift that will eventually conclude with romantic interest. You just do not see it yet." Iron rubs his temple again. "It feels weird. It is something deep within me that I cannot explain, like breaking a rule that nature set up, but I cannot help it." He shakes his head then downs the remaining water, then covers his eyes with one of his forelegs.
>>86871"im such a weakling blue will eventually leave me too, then ill be alone again. she deserve better than a stupid mud horse like me anyway."
>>86872He shifts around to make his position more comfortable, then stays still to enjoy the petting. His left foreleg does a little twitch with each pass of her soft wing over the side of his barrel.
>>86873"I will admit, flanks make for good pillows. But it will not lead to romantic interest. Her heart belongs to Dark Star, not me."
>>86873She stares at him. "If I am having foals anytime soon,
they will be Dark Star's. Alright?"
>>86874Aww, Go out and claim her wuv
>>86876Dark Star continues crying into his hoofs
>>86877He would be pat on the back, if only there were a pony to pat him
>>86875"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."
>>86876"I suppose that much is right. Still, I cannot shake off the feeling." She can see Iron tremble for a bit. "It will not lead a good path if it happens. I hope it does not."
>>86875"It's okay, Just relax. It's been a long and hard night for you" She continues
>>86880"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.
>>86870"Can you go check on Dark Star?"
>>86882Her belly is definitely soft and a little fluffy, and she seems to like the hugging. His mouth is almost touching her teats though
She rubs her wing on his back
>>86884Iron
>>86879"Can you go check on Dark Star?"
>>86885Iron is very suspicious. "Alright. Just do not line your lips for a kiss like last time I came back to both of you." He stands up and proceeds to go to said bathroom.
>>86881Star can hear the bathroom door open.
>>86885Right.>>86883Silver 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.
>>86886he doesnt hear it hes crying too loud
>>86888Iron 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.
>>86889the crying stops abruptly
"huh? what who's there?"
>>86887Her 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
>>86890"Iron. You are taking quite a while to come out so Skies asked for someone to check up on you."
>>86892"heh you know just....uh using the bathroom."
>>86893"I have no idea how to use this place. Is it a crying spot for me to vent feelings and frustrations?"
>>86891"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.
>>86894Dark Star stands up and flings open the door,with tears still in his eyes he says "I Wasn't Crying! You Were Crying!"
>>86896Iron almost gets hit by the stall door opening. "Uh, yeah. I was totally crying about... stuff. You should wipe the sweat near your eyes." He deadpans at Star.
>>86895She sucks in to move them away just slightly when his nose touches them
"I'm glad I could make you feel better. I'm sorry for ruining our pleasant drinking with that... discussion." She pets more, a wing-tip running right down his back on his stripe
>>86897"yea... i was crying. i came in here to use the bathroom, but i started thinking about my family. sorry about almost hitting you."
>>86898"It is okay...I am just glad I still have friends..." She feels a shiver pass through him as her wingtip traces along the dorsal stripe on his back. He lets out another yawn. "...is it sad only friends I have are ones I met only couple days ago?"
>>86900"A little, yes. But that can happen from a life of travel. The social lives of ponies are like great oaks that need time to develop deep roots. They lose much when they are transplanted"
>>86899Iron chuckles. "Like a puny door would hurt me." He then turns serious. "I understand how distraught you are. I suppose your family is not here anymore, right? Your tears do not seem like happy tears of joy."
>>86901She feels the embrace tighten, even as Silver grows more sleepy. "Thank you for being my friend, Blue."
>>86903"D'awww, you really think of me as one? We argue so much..."
She leans back a little and relaxes
>>86905Iron nods. "Do you want to talk about it?"
>>86906"i guess so, the unicorns say its not good to hold stuff like this in."
>>86904"Politics, yes, we argue. That is given. But outside of that...yes, I think of you as friend." He nuzzles into her soft stomach. "You genuinely seem to care about me, when we are like this. You are nice. You are funny. And we do get along when we are not talking politics. I can not think of much more fitting friend."
>>86907Iron finds a comfortable spot to sit and take Star's backstory all in. He rubs his eyes to brush up his attention.
>>86908>>86908"D'awww.... I haven't made many friends since I came here. I talk to a few coworkers, and every now and then I will find stallions for one night stands... but not many friends. Yes, I guess you are a 'friend'."
>>86910Silver seems overjoyed by her saying this. "Thank you..." He lets out another yawn, as his muzzle starts to slip down again. "...thank you..." Yes, her lap is a comfy pillow. Comfy enough to sleep on...
After a couple more seconds, she feels his steady breathing as he passes into sleep, as his muzzle comes to a resting position on her body.
>>86911>>86911She pets his mane by his face with her forehoof, and his back with a wing
>>86912He is definitely asleep, but the petting seems to help him do so peacefully. Even off in dreamland he seems to enjoy the feeling of her petting him.
>>86909"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."
>>86913And there is the question. Does he dream? What does he dream, if so?
>>86915I imagine he would, and there's a few different options for him. Gimme a sec to think of something, unless you manage to come up with something.
>>86916I would believe it would center on the ponies he used to know - Storm Warning and his children. And maybe also the new additions, like little Wesley
>>86917Maybe. Sounds like something he would dream about, especially right at this instance.
>>86918You look down and you see something like this looking up at you (except, you know, male, less hair, wings). What do?
>>86920Poner is pat, and smiles, laughing nervously. The limb feels a little cold, and the scene distorts more than a little. Like he's watching a video that loses clarity
>>86921Silver tries to focus through the distortion, confused about what's happening.
>>86922A little poner is in front of him. What else does it look like?
>>86923He looks at the limb that touched the poner, confused about why it feels cold.
>>86924The little pony tilts his head, not understanding this reaction
>>86925He shakes his head clear, and looks again at the pony in front of him. He smiles at the pony.
>>86927"Would you like ponyback ride?"
>>86928"Ja" says the little pony
>>86929Silver picks the little pony up, and places him on his back.
>>86930*coo*
A fine morning outside Ponyville. He can feel the petting on his mane
>>86931It's been a long time since he's been to this place. He decides to trot around, see the sights, look around at the various shops. He points out various locations to the colt on his back on the way. Meanwhile, he enjoys feeling of the petting.
