The Adventure continues
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 Eastside Tavern Gang has broken through the house and pool-house of the politician Comte Burgher. What they found has been nothing short of astonishing. Deeds for properties bought by secret societies, seditious communications, cryptic booklets, concerning academic interests, and above all else, a sex dungeon with two young colts chained up, and traumatized. With these, they found something else: two caged and chained up adolescent Changeling drones. So doing what any logically minded group of people would do when encountering caged life-force vampires, they let the things suck on them, then took them home and hugged them and loved them and squeezed them and called them 'George.'
Dark Star is coming to terms with loss in the Stallion's room of the Eastside tavern, while Iron aids him. Silver dreams of an Equestria that is no more and his long lost family (while sleeping in a fairly awkward position). Ash awaits a new dawn of service, Onyx a new life of possible employment, while Brie and Spark stay in a small room with two strange guests

>>87937"Get me some sweet tea please."
>>87938This is quite a bit different. The little incubi are hard at play, with Kerr discovering that Jack are essentially caltrops with one side rounded, and pretending they are anti-tank barriers, while Wesley is trying to hit marbles by rolling other marbles into them. All across the floor
>>87940Probably not yet
>>87939"They
do make paper that we all use"
>>87942"Coming right up"
He receives sweet tea promptly
>>87943Well, I guess Iron keeps walking there. Should I roll some dice to pass time?
>>87943>They murder trees and grind their corpses into pasteSister Ash is silent for the rest of the trip.
SILVER I SUMMON THEE
>>87945>>87944No, he'd eventually get to the top of the hill, wonder where the hell Ash went, until after a minute he could see her on the eastern most riverbank heading his direction, a little far away past a small windmill
>>87944Now they start to interact together, with Wesley pushing his firetruck around, and kerr trying to block his path with his "anti-tank barriers"/jacks
>>87943"Thank you, my good mare."
Dark Star Smiles at her
>>87950And she smiles right back
"Your food will be ready in just a minute"
After a few minutes, she delivers the monstrous food item Dark Star has requested
For perspective, Brie has 3 goals in mind. 1., help ensure a bright future for Kerr and Wesley. 2., Rob the Prancer residence and determine if there's any association with Comte and his cronies/associates, and 3., Get revenge for the Lings.
>>87953By now, sure
>>87952They continue playing together. A firetruck smashes through the little wall Wesley made last night, scattering bricks
>>87945>>87955Iron waves at the duo from the top of the hill, then proceeds to walk to their direction.
>>87956Sister Ah waves back, and trots towards him.
"Good morning, Iron." She says with a bow upon arriving
>>87954Yes. Evidently we are redoing the scene of Silver entering the room after getting breakfast, with Brie now present
I need to accommodate all players somehow >>87957"Hey Ash. I got kind of worried you were not eating breakfast at the abbey so I came looking for you. Anything important happened?"
>>87958Shouldn't be too hard. Just gimme a minute.
>>87951Dark Star digs into the peanut buttery goodness
>>87959"Oh, I was just investigating the water upstream. It seems as though the factory up there gas been dumping chemicals into it.." she replies
I don't think Spark has responded recently either, but Spark should also be in the scene
>>87961It is so
>>87962Iron shakes his head. "That does not sound good." He notices the small cloth on the part of the body Ash was scratched by the small bear thing. "Why do you have cloth wrapped there?" He now stands in front of Ash, some sweat around his coat by the heavy lifting and jogging.
>>87964"Oh this..?" She says, shuffling a bit
"Just a run-in with some of the local wildlife.. it seems I startled it a bit.." she says, a bit sheepishly
>>87965"Huh. I thought these places were rather safe. Strange. Shall we go back, Ash? I have some news as well." He starts to slowly walk back where he came from, beckoning Ash and Sickle to follow.
>>87967"I have some time." She says, with a swish of her tail
She turns to Sister Sickle
>>87963"Is there anything else I could do for you today?"
>>87968"Not at the moment..."
>>87966Um... maybe speak to Silver?
>>87963He washes it down with his sweet tea
>>87969"Very well then. I'm sorry there was nothing I could do." She says with bow
>>87967Sister Ash follows Iron.
>>87968Iron looks away from her tail swishing.
>>87969I'm still trying to figure out the events. So are we starting back right as Silver opens the door? Or are we already inside and are just including Brie now?
>>87971"You showed that the irrigation water was the cause, and that does tell us something"
>>87970If pony does an evil deed, and there is nopony there to judge him for it, is the deed even evil?
>>87973I think the former, and ask Brie
>>87952Are we starting with just arriving back to the room from our breakfast and find your, or are you jumping into the conversation while we are already in the room back from breakfast?
>>87972*Swish swish*
"So, what is it you had to tell me?"
Okay, now I'm confused: are we starting over from Silver knocking on the door to the room?
>>87977"Right." He has a small blush on his face. "Recently, I have been working with a mare for gardening stuff and found a book." His tone grows serious. "I hoofed it over to Marey only to find it was a book about dark magic. What are the chances?"
>>87976TBH, I don't really care the context, I just want to be in on further developments as pertains to the Lings and the other agendas I mentioned
>>87978Either that or from when he is talking to them
>>87981Sister Ash's expression turns deadly serious
"Hmmmm.. Perhaps it could have been one of Abby's..." She says
"May I see it?"
>>87978>>87982If we are confused, then we probably should just stick to what we have and Brie jumps in. Maybe he was at the bar at the moment we walked in and he just came back while we were talking to the changelings in the excessively messy room.
>>87984"I do not have it on me. Marey still has it if you want to," he leans to whisper, "burn it." He leans back. "Be sure to do that in a safe area unlike last time, alright?" He pokes his chin. "Marey told me about this filly you have been visiting. She said she was guilty of practicing dark magic. How is she doing?"
>>87986"Oh, she's been getting better.." Sister Ash replies, perhaps a bit unconvincingly
"She just needs someone to talk with her." she continues, while walking
Alright, can Brie, Silver, and Spark start the scene, which ever scene?
>>87979That's what the Changelings think
>>87988"Marey was thinking of more punishment for the possibility that she owns the book, which I dissuaded her from doing, or to at least think about it. I hope she is alright." Iron walks a bit stiff, hoping Marey did what Iron told her to do.
>>87991"Well, either way, I would like you speak with them about it." She says, as she trots towards the building alongside him
"You can never be too sure with these sorts of things."
>>87992"I suppose. Be sure to speak to the filly as well." Iron trots with her. "I do not think Marey can handle knowing her residents doing dark magic and may have had an outburst."
>>87990Well... Spark checks what Kerr is up to.
>>87993"I'll speak with them both."
"Thank you for telling me about it, by the way." She says with a nod
>>87994Is this a replay from when they first go through the door, or after entering and speaking to Wesley for a minute?
>>87996I think we are continuing as we were last night with no redo and Brie jumps in. Though I didn't hear from Brie if he agreed to that.
I'm starting to get tired..
>>87999Checked, thus the trips demand we continue.
>>87995"No need to thank me, Ash. We should look out for eachother after all." He strokes her mane.
>>87998If you want, we can stop. I feel a little headache coming up myself >>88000Thats a tasty check you have too
Silver is kill, but Brie and Spark can talk while presumably Silver talks to Wesley, and thus the time is caught up
>>88001Alright. I've gotten them to a point where they can at least open dialogue with each other tomorrow.
Goodnight, Anons.
>>88003I'm still here. I'm just waiting on everyone else.
>>88004Night.
I'll also retire for the night. Headaches are acting up.
>>88001*purrs*"I really do appreciate your help though. You been so helpful and kind to me.." She replies
Now I'm going to bed.
>>88005I think we are here. Brie might need to announce himself entering the room in the manner he so desires, but other than that...
>>88003Spark looks to see what Kerr is up to.
>>88009After the three came in and started talking, largely in a language he understands, he is sitting on the floor at attention, listening
>>88009Brie appears. I'm not sure if he's shuffling out from the bed or what, but he's here, fascinated by the playing Lings.
>>88006I mean, Silver did ask Wesley a question and never got a reply back, so...
>>88012And Wesley seems uncertain how to respond
>>88011"They are cute aren't they?"
>>88013Silver gives Wesley a fatherly look, one he's had many years of practice to put on. "Sie können mir alles sagen, das wissen Sie. Ich werde nicht urteilen oder wütend werden, wenn Sie sich darum Sorgen machen."
>>88014"By there reputation I would never imagine thinking this, but yeah. They're adorable. Ich leibe es."
>>88015"Ich bin von gemischten Gefühlen. Ich möchte meiner Mutter dienen, aber du bist nett. Du bist ein guter Gastgeber"
>>88015"You speak their language well. Could you translate something for me?"
>>88017Silver smiles at the little changeling in a pony's form. "Danke schön. Ich versuche auf jeden Fall, ein guter Gastgeber zu sein." He puts a hoof over Wesley's heart, or at least, where a heart would be on a pony. "Ich kann dir nicht sagen, dass du das eine oder das andere auswählst. Nur du kannst entscheiden. Aber ich vertraue darauf, dass Sie Ihrem Herzen folgen und wählen, was Sie persönlich für richtig halten. Wir werden Sie alle vermissen, wenn Sie sich entscheiden zu gehen, aber ich weiß, dass Ihre Mutter und Ihre Geschwister Sie auch vermissen werden, wenn Sie sich entscheiden, zu bleiben." He looks over at Kerr. "Es wäre auch eine gute Idee, Kerr zu fragen, was er denkt. Er kümmert sich sehr um Sie, und ich glaube nicht, dass er möchte, dass Sie eine Entscheidung treffen, ohne ihn zumindest zu trösten."
>>88018"I can certainly try. What is it?"
>>88019"Ask them if they remember the hive."
>>88019Wesley is just a little confused
"Aber Mütter schicken ihre Babys oft zu Ponys, damit das Pony sie als Kinder erziehen kann"
Kerr injects his own opinion:
"Ich traue deiner Polizei nicht"
>>88021To Wesley: "Hat sie dich zu einer dieser Missionen geschickt?"
To Kerr: "Es ist eine faire Einschätzung. Zumindest für einen jungen Veränderer."
To both of them, he asks Brie's question: "Die Fledermaus möchte wissen, ob Sie sich an Ihr Zuhause im Changeling-Bienenstock erinnern."
Wesley: "Nein"
To the second question
"Ja"
"Ich mache"
>>88022"Did they like it in the hive?"
"Finden sie das hive ist gut?"
>>88023"Ich kann mir vorstellen, dass sich deine Mutter um dich sorgen würde."
He asks Brie's second question. "Hat es dir gefallen? Der Bienenstock?"
>>88026Wesley: "Unsere Mutter bildet uns für unsere Jobs aus"
To the second question: "Ich war um meine Brüder und Schwestern herum, aber es fehlt an Wärme"
>>88025Kerr responds:
"Der Bienenstock war gut, wenn es Honig gab. Die Wände waren nicht komisch wie diese, die sich nie bewegen," he pats the wall behind him with his deformed leg
"Als sie uns nach Tall Tales brachten, gab es Ponys zu essen, aber die Gebäude waren seltsam"
>>87990I Didn't see this postREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>88028"Are you enjoying your meal?" The smiling bun-maned pony asks
>>88027"Ich bezweifle das nicht, aber Sie glauben nicht, dass sie merken würde, wenn eines ihrer Kinder gegangen wäre, das keiner Arbeit zugeteilt wurde?"
The response to the second question confuses Silver. "Warum mangelte es an Wärme?"
I'm fading out and will sleep soon. I'm generally looking to see how their feelings are with regard to memories of the hive, and their receptivity to its mention
>>88029"Yes, its delicious. these are the best waffles I've ate."
"Could i get some more Sweet tea?"
>>88030Wesley: "Ich glaube schon. Aber Tall Tales war seltsam"
"Mutter war streng, wie sie sein sollte, aber nicht nett"
>>88032"Yes, we can get you some more"
The golden Earth Pony brings Dark Star more tea to wash down his abominable meal, possibly the same as Chrysalis uses foals to wash down Newly weds, or some older Dragons may do the same
>>88033He already knows why he thought Tall Tales was strange, so his next response is for the second statement. "Oh? Wieso das?"
>>88033> uses foals to wash down Newly weds, or some older Dragons may do the sameREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
"thank you very much."
Dark Star Drinks his sweet tea having finished his waffles, he then stands up after putting down 50 bits on the table.
"keep the change."
>>88034"Die Arbeiter sind sehr natürlich im Umgang mit uns. Sie umarmen sich zum Beispiel nicht"
>>88035The golden pony smiles
"Come back anytime"
>>88036Dark Star walks back to the HQ
>>88037"Wechselbachs sind keine liebenden Kreaturen"
>>88038And thus he does so
>>88039Silver doesn't look like he believes him. "Du scheinst mir ziemlich lieb zu sein."
