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.

>>86175Silver silently cheers Kerr on from the sidelines. He pays attention to how he swings the sword, looking for ways he could potentially improve in his effectiveness.
>>86176He seems amused by the bat's antics. "It is fine, I will not judge you. I was just confused at house when I saw painting was cut out, instead of just removed." He looks at the changelings playing. "Of course I would be willing to translate. I can not guarantee I will get it completely right, but I will try."
>>86178"Ever tried sneaking around with a full-on, framed painting?" ^_~
>>86170Dark Star goes and gets his bag and then returns to blue. "lets go."
Dark Star heads towards the door
>>86179Silver lets out a laugh. "No, but I can imagine it is most difficult." He takes a look at the bat's frame and build. "I take it you are sneaky type? It seems like I only ever know you are around when you actively make your presence known."
>>86178Kerr'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.
Wesley places a bag of marbles in the back of the dump truck, and pushes it about
>>86180"Alright let's go"
And thus they go
>>86181"I prefer discretion, yes. Its hard to develop a reputation when most don't notice you."
>>86182How old are these Lings? like CMC age? Older? Don't say younger >>86182to a general store or a candy store which ever is open and closest to the tavern.
"what kind of candy do you like?"
>>86183Uh, maybe?>>86184"Get me something sweet to suck on," she says, smiling
>>86182"Kerr, benutze den Schwung jedes Schwungs, um den nächsten zu starten." He demonstrates by swinging a foreleg down from right-to-left, then bringing it up around to swing downward from left-to-right.
>>86183He 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.
>>86185"you'll get that later tonight."
Dark Star winks and smiles back at her
>>86186"Perhaps, but in my line of work the question of "What did he look like" is one I'd rather people not be able to answer."
>>86188"I suppose that is why I prefer fighting. I am not very sneaky pony." Silver motions to his own fairly husky and heavy build.
>>86187*Purr*
"If you just need to spend a half hour licking on something, you don't need to pay for candy"
She gives him her smile
>>86186He looks up at Silver, definitely surprised by this bit of advice. But he seems to start implementing the technique into his swing, allowing him to better knock over rows of Imperial Guards
>>86190Dark Star tries to keep it in his sheath
Dark Star laughs trying to focus on something other than...
"i can do both."
>>86191Silver smiles at this, a lets out a small cheer for him. "Mach weiter, Kerr, du kannst sie besiegen!"
Silver looks back at what Wesley is doing now with his dump truck full of marbles.
>>86193Dark Star goes in to the store
>>86194Little Wesley had been content at first simply to move it about. Then, placing objects in the back like a bag of marbles, or bricks. Now, he takes them from location to another neatly sorting brick into piles, transporting them, and dumping them
>>86195It is so. What does he want to buy?
>>86196Spark watches the cuteness.
>>86196Silver is content to just watch him play like this.
>>86196He buys 4 white chocolate bars, some gummy worms
or what ever the equivalent is, and a bag of suckers.
>>86197>>86198He takes all of the bricks and dumps them into one pile. Then, he pulls out bricks of one type, places them into the back of the dump truck, and dumps them. he forms a few separate piles this way. After doing this, he starts to build a wall with the bricks
>>86199It is so, only a few bits
>>86200He'll yeah he's building a wall
>>86200and Dark star buys 100 bits worth of toys and blankets and books and candy to donate to the orphanage tomorrow.
>>86200Silver takes another bite of his chocolate bar as he watches.
>>86201And the ponies are gonna pay for it. >>86202Wow, damn, alright. That will be hard to fit all in his bag though
>>86203He can feel a
little bit of joy returning to him. Kerr seems to be acting out some sort of swashbuckling adventure in his own little corner, still wearing the blanket as a sort of cloak. Wesley picks up a pony doll with his mouth, and places it on one side of the wall, while continuing to lay down bricks, building his wall
>>86204Silver lays down on his bed, and levitates over one of the children's stories he bought to read the title of it.
Wesley really is building a wall to keep the ponies out. >>86204And a Satchel to hold what my saddlebag cant.
>>86205>out>>86205“The Runaway Bunny,” a bit simpler, seems to be a recent publication
>>86206Well, looks like he can do it
>>86207He decides to read it, not really expecting all that much from it, but it's at least something for him to do.
>>86207Dark Star pays, thanks the employee working the counter and leaves.
>1000 bits >>86208A little rabbit lives with his mother, but wants to runaway. He says that he will transform to get away, but his mother always promises that she will find him. “I will runaway and become a trout.” He says, and his mother replies, “If you runaway and become a trout, I will become a fisherman and I will catch you.” And this repeats, the little rabbit saying he will become a rock on a tall mountain, and his mother says she will become a mountaineer to find him, he will become a flower and she shall become a gardener, and so forth. At the end of all of that, the little rabbit decides he will stay by his mother’s side, content in knowing that his mother loves him, and will always come to find him
>>86209Okay, that’s a hell of a lot of toys
>>86211Well, he has his candy and toys, as well as a bigger bag
>>86210Silver smiles from the nice story.
>>86212Dark Star opens the bag of suckers and gets blue out a strawberry flavored one
>>86213>>86213Little Wesley lays down, and looks at Silver, having completed the wall. The little grey and darker grey foal looks quite a bit like pic related, looking up at Silver on his bed
>>86214Blue Skies takes the sucker with her wing, and starts rubbing it against her tongue, in and out of her mouth
>>86215Silver looks at the cute colt. "Oh, was hast du da gebaut?"
>>86216“Ich habe eine Mauer gebaut,” replies Wesley, smiling
>>86217She looks at him and smiles
“Have you met me? Anyways, we need to get to the others”
>>86220"Aha! Es sieht aus wie eine sehr stabile Wand."
>>86220Dark Star Smiles at blue mischievously at her
"yea."
Dark Star Heils a taxi and tells them to drive to the tavern
>>86221“Tatsächlich. Es muss stabil sein, damit die leckeren Ponys drinnen bleiben”
He bites down on the little pony doll, smiling and tail wagging
>>86222One is hailed quickly, and they are on their way
>>86223Internally, it slightly worries him. But he remembers this changeling is still a child, and it's what he's been taught all his life. So, he smiles, and pats the bed next to him to invite Wesley to sit next to Silver. "Möchten Sie dieses leckere Pony hierher bringen und sich eine Geschichte anhören?"
>>86224He eats a few squares of his chocolate bar while riding in the taxi
