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.

>>86579I pet Wesley to calm him.
>>86571"It worked for us for over one thousand years. If society did not collapse in that amount of time, then I do not believe Harmony was cause of our ills."
Silver looks at Kerr skittering away. "Sie hat recht, weißt du. Du solltest deine Tarnung beibehalten, während du hier bist."
He turns to look back at Blue. "You speak Wechselbalg?"
>>86572"The BlackHooves only want whats best for our kind all of our kind all over the planet. they Can see what is wrong with this world, and we are realists unlike the Preachers of "Equality" that have to force everypony that doesn't want to be a communist to live under the tyranny that they cause. we oppose the communists vehemently. they only want the power for themselves and will step on any Stallion,Mare or Foal who get in their way."
>>86582Onyx was just heading to his room, not the other one.
>>86582>>86581Iron shakes his head. He must be sleepy.
So the foals are still hiding for the noise Onyx made to enter the room in front of the first room? >>86579Brie sighs. "I don't know alright? But until we can figure out what to do with them, I'm not letting anything bad happen to them!"
>>86584"And it worked for
us for a thousand years. But here we both are, aren't we?"
She smiles
"Only a little. When dealing with prisoners it helps the trust to speak the same language"
Kerr does not respond to the Shaming
>>86583All of that was based on Onyx entering>>86587Uh, no, but Kerr definitely ran
>>86588"Hmmm. I never would have taken you for a protective father of somecreatureelse's children. Uh, no offense"
>>86585"I do like pay raises though" Adds Rocks
>>86589"Yeah well, sometimes you see yourself in somepony else and you just know what has to happen." he crosses his hooves over his chest irritatedly. "Whoops, don't need these anymore." he puts his knives away.
>>86589Iron maintains position, pretending to try to stand up.
>>86589Then I pick back up Wesley and hold him close again.
>>86589"Then I suppose only other ideology that would have changed things would be Communism." He scratches his head in thought. "What does 'Pooka' mean, exactly? I am not very good with Wechselbalg, so I do not know if it is word I do not know, or what."
>>86590She sort of smiles
>>86591Kerr looks out at him from under a blanket
>>86592*is hugged*
Spark can use his Will save modifier
>>86589"The Black Hooves Will Pay All of our Workers a fair Pay, Equal to that the Commies pay. i will see to that if i am elected mayor."
>>86593"No, 'pooka' is a term from the East for shapeshifters"
In Irish legend, a Pooka/puca is a shapeshifting fairy. It usually takes the form of a pony, but can be any animal >>86595"Oh, are you running?"
>>86597Spark feels cold for a moment, then a sort of Static over his vision. Then, slowly back to normal
>>86594"Look if they'll be safe here for the time being, that's fine. If not, I've got a place." He gets up in a bit of a huff. "I need a drink. I'll be back in a bit" Then loudly, "Kinder, gut sein."
He goes downstairs, orders a strong drink, and finds a secluded booth at the bar.
I'm going to eat, BBL >>86596"Hmm. That would explain term. Nennen Sie ihn einfach nicht mehr als Idioten, okay?" He grins again.
>>86594Iron pretends to slip and fall. Maybe if he shows weakness, he will have the courage to show up again.
>>86598I pet Wesley for both of our comfort.
>>86599>secludedPretty sure Dark Star has started Campaigning
>>86600Kelpie is Scottish and tied to the water. Pooka is Irish and a type of fairy>>86602He looks up and comes closer, now appearing to be a unicorn foal
>>86603*alleged-poner is pet*
>>86599"okay...."
>>86601"Tha káno aftó pou thélo, géros" She stares
>>86600Interesting. Go on." He takes another drink
>>86604He groans in pain. "Ow..." he mutters. Iron decides that the 'injuries' of his fight with Kerr left him incapacitated.
>>86604>tfw Jewgle Translate can't make heads or tales of somethingSilver lets out a laugh. "Я не знаю, что вы сказали, но я предполагаю, что это было что-то хорошее."
>>86605He walks up slowly. Then he bats down another toy soldier
>>86606She looks back at him with a sort of mistrust
>>86604"how do you 2 feel about the changlings that are occupying west Equestria?"
>>86609The other one volunteers. He too, has taken advantage of the free drinks
"We want them out, of course. A United Equestria"
>>86608Iron decides to stay on his position. "Owie..." He wonders how Kerr will react to him being 'injured'
>>86608Silver cocks his head, raises an eyebrow, and has one of his ears fall to the side of his head to show very clearly that he's confused about her mistrust. "Something wrong?"
>>86612"You tell me" She says
>>86611He moves around towards Iron's face
>>86613Silver shrugs, still confused. "Nothing, as far as I can tell."
>>86613If Kerr is smart enough, he can see that Iron does not really have any serious injuries. Maybe a hoof mark on his face by the double strike he did to Iron. Iron lays there, legs sprawled out, eyes closed and back to the floor.
[1d20+2 = 19]>>86614I 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"
>>86615Kerr attacks his nose
>>86610"With the duke Fighting the enemies of pony kind in the east, we will have to stand up against them, i promise that i will liberate East Equestria And The Crystal empire. But i cannot do it alone i need each and everypony behind me. that is the only way we will survive Chrysalis's onslaught. WE WILL SURVIVE!"
>>86615And thus pic is the fate of Iron
>>86617"We will survive!" says one of them, holding up his glass
The other
"How are you going to do that?"
>>86616I 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."
>>86616>>86618Iron 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.
>>86618"Can i count on your support in the up coming election?"
>>86619Never meant she wanted it thrown back at her in the same manner>>86619"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"
>>86621He shakes his glass
"I'll consider it"
>>86620"Ich habe dich, Pony"
>>86622Iron cowers in fear at Kerr's indominable spirit. "I yield! I surrender!"
>>86622I'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.
>>86622Dark star smiles at them
"Thanks, i appreciate it."
"mr glass a round for everyone in the bar!"
>>86625"WOO HOO!"
Mass cheering for Dark Star
>>86624Rogues really aren't built for taking what they give, nor giving what they takesigh"I'll go see how Dark Star is doing, since no pony else is"
[1d20+7 = 26]>>86625>>86622>>86626Diplomacy to get everyone to like me
Do i get any More bonuses? [1d20+3 = 16]>>86626Fair enough.Listen: Silver's ears perk up as he listens for anything from the tavern that would suggest how Dark Star's doing.
>>86627>a 19Dark Star must have promised free drinks for the rest of the night or something, because it's super effective
>>86628Cheering. Is a game playing over the radio?
