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.

>>85709Iron 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
>>85712"Uhm,...
shit wir arriven
?... we'll be there soon. You'll be safe and unharmed. Tu wehrstehen?"
>>85714The insect reads the tone of his voice, and understands that Brie is not trying to be assertive back. At least he isn't forcefully refusing
"Ja..." he says, uncertainly.
He says to brie,
"Wenn ich bei dir bleibe, kann ich nicht versprechen, nicht zu beißen"
>>85694Onyx shakes his head and falls in line
>>85712She would be speaking this whole time while the foals are calming down.
>>85713It is so
>>85716Dark Star is going through some kind of emotional breakdown or something, and Spark is trying to talk him out of pulling a Jack Ruby
>>85717"Du wirst mich nicht zur Polizei bringen? Die Polizei wird mich töten."
>>85719Iron enters the tavern, eager to see the results of the operation.
>>85719"Nein. Ich bin polizei nicht. Ich bin dei fleidermaus."
>>85721"Yes. We need to get Dark Star to the hospital. We ran into little changelings. I'll explain on the way."
"Mein namae ist Brie. Brie Achtzig-Sechs" (actual name)
>>85712>>85718Sister Ash gives the Sisters a quick rundown as the colts drink their hot cocoa.
>>85727"Come on big guy, we're getting your ass to a hospital"
>>85726They are utterly alarmed to say the least. Does she give them the name of the politician?
>>85725>>85722He is silent for a moment. Then he responds
"Ich bin ein Wechselbalg. Ich heiße Kerr"
>>85728>>85727>>85723Alright, where are you all going so I can set the scene?
Well, roads were indeed icy, but I lived.>>85687"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.
>>85729"Hallo Kerr." is all he can think to offer.
Internal dialogue"A fat lot of good you lot did me!" he Eeeees.
"You got his name didn't you, and at least he's not trying to escape."
"That was messed up."
"Muu."
"Are any of you going to explain
exactly what you're doing inside my head and how you got there?!" he Eeee's internally.
"Nope."
>>85729Finally 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. >>85729>NameIf they asked for it, she would tell them.
Otherwise, she'd keep details to a minimum.
>>85731He nods
Is Silver going with the others to the hospital?
>>85730Does Dark Star agree?
>>85732He 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"
>>85733Alright, although really he should probably take that long anyways
>>85734Whelp, they are horrified to say the least
>>85736He is being carried by Onyx who did agree, so he is coming. And he was walking with me before hand, so I assume.
>>85736After he makes sure the changeling with him is safe in his room at the tavern, yeah.Silver squeezes through the opening just as he did last time, and waits for the changeling to follow. "What is your name, young one?"
>>85736>horrifiedHorrified as in disgusted that this could happen, or horrified as in afraid?
>>85736Gulp
"Uhhhh, ja das Unicorn und Pony gegessen ist gut. Du brauche?"
>>85738"Ich verstehe nicht"
>>85739Disgusted
>>85740"Nicht jetzt nein. Aber ich kann nicht versprechen, nicht zu beißen"
>>85741Soon
>>85742"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?"
>>85742"Well, anything?" he Eeeee's impatiently.
"Hmmmm."
"He talks funny."
"Its unlike any language I'm familiar, don't ask me."
"Baka! He say he no hungry now!"
"... there's more?" he Eeee's apprehensively.
"You have no idea.""Das ist gut. Wir spreche en das kopfkevarten," he says, hoping that came out right.
>>85742As sister Ash finishes explaining, she stops to breath
"It was absolutely sickening.. I grabbed these two and left as soon as I could.. I'd like to find this one's mother as soon as possible; she must be worried sick."
>>85743He looks up with cute Labrador eyes
"Oh... Ja. Ich heiße... 'Wesley.'"
>>85745One of the more incensed sisters replies "I would imagine! What evil!"
Another calmer one says
"Ash... that Colt's mother is dead. That's why she's at the orphanage and not living with her mother"
>>85744>>85744He looks a little confused for a moment, but then answers "Sehr gut."
I take it you wish to arrive nowish to soon?
>>85746Silver 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? >>85748Well I'm about at my limit for german, and hopefully getting the two of them back together will aid a bit in translation and morale,....
>>85746Sister Ash's eyes grow wide and then darken at the sound of the second Sisters words
(I got mixed up. I though Compt bought one and kidnapped the other)
"... O-Oh...." She says somberly
>>85749"Sher gut... Du bist nett"
He obeys and follows
I was most surprised by Dark Star. that and I didn't think you all would be okay with earning negative levels>>85750It should
>>85751"She died six months ago of fever. She is buried in the Westwood Green Cemetary. I know, because she was a practitioner at the local church"
No, two purchased. I was contemplating having at least one more non-pony to indicate exploitation of immigrants >>85752Wait, so how many ponies are missing still missing then. I thought there were only three left, including the one haybuger bought.
Fuck. Now I regret telling this colt I'd take him to see his mom...
>>85752"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. >>85757I decided that Dark Star and Silver were enough to handle them. That, and I was too tired to give a fuck at the time, and it leaked into my gameplay. I made her take what she cane for, because I didn't want to handle the authorities.
>>8575512 taken. 6 at the Warehouse, 1 escaped, 2 sold to comte, 2 given to made mares to act as apprentices, 1 adopted by a couple in Manehattan
>>85754Male changelings try to avoid sucking cock if they have an alternative>>85757As Silver walks, the Labrador is a bit surprised by this statement, and initially unsure how to respond. He finally says "Es ist gut zu sehen, dass nicht alle Ponys böse sind"
I honestly thought that Dark Star would shoot them, or at least, say 'leave them there.'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" >>85760Silver's sense of laugher seems to have returned somewhat, as he chuckles at the changeling's statements. "Es ist lustig. Das sagen einige Ponys über das Wechseln."
>>85760So, 3 foals remaining to be found?
>AdoptedAdoptions 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.
Sister Ash rubs her temple.
"By the earth.. it's been such a long day..."
