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

>>88148Not really. They're still in conversation if you want to enter.
>>88149Sorry, you have to deal with it.That way you'll be glad when a changeling speaks Ponish/English >>88148No, although Silver isn’t here evidently
>>88150Nobully, but I have no idea what/where your character is (doing)
>>88151But Silver isn't available, and without him Brie can't have any legitimacy in comprehending the conversation
>>88153You're right. So you're basically stuck outside the conversation still then, unless you want to pull out your voices acting as translators.
>>88153My character just met up with Iron at the orphanage. She's currently moving to talk with Sister Marey about a book that Iron found.
>>88153You’ll figure something out. You don’t necessary have to discuss the fate of the Changelings with the hatchlings themselves
>>88156Their opinion is important. I won't say that it is the most important element, but its important dammit
>>88155I forget where they left off in conversation though.
>>88155I forget where they left off in conversation though.
>>88158>>88157Last posts made by Silver and GM portraying Wesley are
>>88072>>88074 I'll go play online. Be back in an hour and a half at most.
>>88161Alright.
I may need to stop and eat sometime before then though.
>>88157>>88157Here’s something for you to read while you wait on the translator:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entomophagy >>88163Nothing new, I knew about that in the 80's
>is old >>88165You 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
>>88162Well, I've got my daily calories, so I'm free for the rest if the night.
>>88166I mean... It’s Cambodia. So it’s a remarkable improvement over their nutritional situation in the 70s
Whatelse are you going to with giant parasitic wasps?
Well, I am ready to start.
>>88169>Whatelse are you going to with giant parasitic wasps?Spider-Eaters make great mounts.
I need to get a more reasonable sleep schedule.
>>88172Fug. Now I kind of want one.. Would be a nice way to make use of those Handle Animal ranks.
>>88175I thought I'd get into raising monsters after finding those foals.
>>88170"So, how has your morning been so far?" Sister Ash asks as she walks towards the building
>>88177"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."
>>88178*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.."
>>88179Iron 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."
>>88180Gimme a minute, my mind's all gone to mush.
>>88179>tfw your blessings haven't been workingLooks like she's going to need another casting to fix this place...
>>88181Sister Ash seems more annoyed with herself than anything else
"I'll see to it when I get the chance." She says
>>88183Iron strokes her mane some more in an attempt to comfort her. "Do not beat yourself up over it. Nopony can be all knowing all the time."
>>88182No hurry, just positioning
>>88184Sister Ash seems unconvinced, but doesn't resist the petting.
".. I guess so..."
*purrs*
>>88186"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.
>>88187"Oh, that won't be necessary. I've been fasting." She says, as she trots along.
>>88188"Huh? Fasting? What is that? Is that food?"
>>88189She sighs a bit
"It means I skipped breakfast, for.. ecclesiastic purposes."
>>88192Alright, I’ll start looking up the penalties for starvation
>>88192Iron takes out her stroking hoof and opts for a scratch on his side. "Why? Do you worry about physical health?"
>>88194Cuz 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."
>>88195It's only been two days since she's eaten, and I can go 3 before I need to make any starvation checks.
