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

You're right. So you're basically stuck outside the conversation still then, unless you want to pull out your voices acting as translators.

My character just met up with Iron at the orphanage. She's currently moving to talk with Sister Marey about a book that Iron found.

You got so caught up in whether or not you could, you never stopped to figured out whether you should.
Seriously, "Oh, that one time you cooked locusts, that was the BEST" said no one ever

"Well, it was rather boring. I woke up, did some training at the gardens until a mare came by and asked me to remove some dead trees from the area. Said they were blighted, and the orange trees looked like they were dead already." Iron pokes his chin. "That is where I found the book for some reason. I wonder if the book caused the blight."

*Ear twitches*
"Blight, you say..." She replies, looking rather confused.
".. That's odd.. I didn't notice anything last I checked. I must be out of practice.."

Iron shrugs. "There were just four blighted trees. You would have needed to have an extreme sense of blight detection to find four of them in a garden of that size." He smiles sheepishly. "Not that I doubt your abilities, of course."

"The stumps are still there if you want to take a look, but not before you eat and talk to Marey and the filly. Do not worry, they will not dig up the stumps until tomorrow if I am not mistaken." Iron keeps up his mane stroking as they walk towards the building.

Cuz it was supposed to be part of the feat I wanted. Plus, extreme fasting was supposed to be a suggested aspect for exalted characters.
"Oh, it's just part of my training. I could try to explain it, but quite frankly I don't think you'd understand.." she says, a not abashed
"It's just a thing spiritualists do every now and then where we come from. It's to prove that we can, more than anything."

It's only been two days since she's eaten, and I can go 3 before I need to make any starvation checks.

Iron is a bit confused. "Alright then. I suppose it is a show of endurance. I think my brother does that too, if I recall correctly." He shrugs. "As long as you do not faint like yesterday, I am fine with it. Now, let us focus on talking to Marey and the filly." He looks at the abbey's entrance.

She ate a mango at day 2 and has not eaten since. That proves Ash's claim

The spell translates the script and reveals any hidden magic.
It lasts 10 minutes per level (50 mins), and allows her to read 250 words per minute.

Well, it works for regular text too.
Sister Ash is reading it for the sake of determining it's origins, and checking for any curses that might be unleashed if she destroys it.

"Per Boreas, Marr, Arcturius, Disord, Ukko, Pellegro, the pythonic word, the mystery of the salamander, the assembly of sylphs, the grotto of gnomes, the demons of the tartarus, of Tirek, Katrina, Grogar, Beezen, the Smooze, and Lavan Come, Come, Come!"
Portions of it are dense in Black Language, presumably what Abby was speaking two night ago, some of it are in some foreign language that is not so alien as to not be off the planet, and some of it is in Ponish.

"~Into the burn pile it goes!" Sister Ash announces amatteroffactly, as she closes the book.
I'm slightly interested in Sylphs though..

"It seems to be a warlocks' tomb, if I had to compare it to anything else I've seen.. Something written by an occultist, spiritually interested in contacting spirits from other planes."
Her eyes narrow as she peers into the text
"... There's quite a bit in here.. but most of its mentions are decisively evil. It's not unlike the text that was confiscated from Abby not too long ago..." She continues

"Ich wagte mich von der Kolonie weg und in der Nähe des Hafens. Ich war neugierig. Jemand, von dem ich dachte, er sei eine Drohne in Ponyform, fragte mich, ob ich ein Motorboot sehen wollte und wie es funktionierte. Er sagte mir, ich solle ein paar Papiere unterschreiben, damit mich sein Besitzer zuerst in der Nähe des Bootes ließe. Also tat ich es und ging zum Boot. Aber als ich an Bord des Bootes kletterte, packten sie mich in einen Sack. Sie banden mich in Seilen. Ich konnte mich nicht ändern, um rauszukommen. Sie brachten mich mit meinem Bruder zu einem Schiff und brachten mich hierher."

Oh no, this book is much more evil than the one taken before

"I took a tomb from Abby's room just a couple nights ago. That one did have a spell hidden in it. This one, however, is worse than mere magick.. It's misguidance."

Sister Ash doesn't appear to be angry at the moment. She just tosses the book on to the bonfire with the logs and watches intently as the flames slowly eat it away.
