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

>>88253Got to light it first. There is no active fire
>>88250Just as the little drone doesn't look like a drone, he doesn't feel like one either. His fur is relatively soft if cold to the touch, and his mane feels, well, like a mane, even if a somewhat unkept and oily mane. He moves his head onto Silver as a part of the hug. Kerr looks over and moves forward to the scene
>>88234"Hmmmm. This presents a number of things to consider. I don't see how Wesley could stay, and he's too young to really understand what he's getting himself into. I understand Kerr's skepticism,... considering,...."
>>88256Sister Ash makes sure everything is on the pile before the shreds the book in two and uses it as kindling.
>>88256He pulls back a little, confused. "Wenn du also so gefangen wurdest, wie wurde Kerr gefangen genommen?"
>>88257Silver nods, understanding what Brie means without him having to finish that statement.
>>88260"But Wesley doesn't want to go back? And Kerr does?"
>>88261"I have not heard definite from Kerr yet as to if he wants to stay or go, but I imagine he is leaning towards go. Wesley is conflicted. He says I have been good host, but he also wants to serve his mother. Laconia, I believe her name was."
>>88262"Laconia, that's good to know, but also confusing. I thought Chrysalis was the queen."
>>88258"There. That should do it."
*Lights fire*
>>88262"Er wird es kaum zugeben, aber ich denke er wurde auch ausgetrickst"
>>88263>>88262Her name is "Lacinia." "Laconia" is the name of the region of Sparta in Greece. Ask a
different NPC about that
>>88264https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deB_u-to-IELook at it glow
>>88265>>88264"Well, that should do it." He looks at the fire, heat caressing his grey muzzle. "Now you should visit the filly, see how she is doing." A pause. "Do you think I should follow inside? I am not that good handling fillies."
>>88263"She is queen of Changeling Hegemony, yes, in sense that she is leader of country. However, each individual hive has their own Queen, who in this sense is mother to each changeling from that particular hive. Chrysalis is both Queen of her own hive and queen of Changeling Hegemony."
>>88265Close enough, but noted."Hmm. Könnte sein. Könnte sein, dass er gefangen wurde, als er Sie zu retten versuchte."
>>88267Brie thinks for a moment. "Have they mentioned how far away their particular hive is then?"
>>88266"Oh, you wouldn't really need to. She's still being punished afterall." She replies
"I'll just speak with her later to see if she hid anymore of those books." She continues
>>88269"It is near Tall Tales. If my knowledge of geography is correct, it is in West-Central/Northwest Equestria."
>>88270"Later? What are you going to do now?"
>>88271Brie stares uncomprehendingly. "How far is that?"
>>88273I'm putting in an F for accidentally copying the wrong side of the translation. I know I've nearly done that enough times, myself.Despite knowing what they had to go through because of them getting captured, he still can't help but to stifle a small chuckle from Kerr's response. "Ich mag Boote nicht besonders gern."
>>88274"Far. It is anywhere from couple weeks to one month's worth of hiking for average pony."
>>88275I'm unsure. I think so. Spark is a viable alternative though."Right. I forgot that we need to meet up with the others before we continue our quest." He pokes his chin, wondering if they're awake at this hour.
>>88276Brie's eyes glint. "What about
flying?"
>>88278"Flying? With regular stops, it could be done within few days. You would need hefty endurance, though, and supplies needed for journey would slow you down some."
>>88275Well, anyway, someone's gotta bring her breakfast. I think I'll have Ash do that.
And so she goes to bring Abby her tray, and to speak with her.
>>88277"I guess that could wait for now. Somepony has to
go speak with her eyes, so it may as well be me."
>>88279Brie does the thinking man pose. After a moment he says, "Please ask this directly. Kerr, do you want to stay, or do you want to go back to the hive?"
>>88280>>88273Iron shrugs. "Fine by me. I will put on my armor pieces and equip my shield while I am at it. We meet up at the entrance." With that, he heads off to his room.
>>88282"Very well. I'll see you later then." She smiles, and goes off on her way
this is why I'd like to dispense with the german, so I can "ask directly" (even though implicitly asking through Silver),... translating encumbers the process
>>88285Iron is abashed, looking away at her swishy tail.
When he's in the room, he starts equipping his armor pieces and shield on his armored off-hoof while keeping his other hoof unarmored.
It should take as long as the scene with Ash and that filly I don't remember the name. >>88287Sister Ash enters Abby's room to bring her her meal.
>>88290
We're not there yet, I'm still formulating a plan
Fun fact I found out while playing Equestria At War last night: The leader of the Barrad Magocracy south of the Kingdom of Wittenburg in Eastern Griffonia is a crazed unicorn named Silver Star who, along with his four compatriots, uses the Magocracy and the unfortunate ponies inside it for pointless and dangerous magic experiments that have absolutely ruined the climate of the country.
>>88292>pointless and dangerous magic experiments that have absolutely ruined the climate of the country.[REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES IN DRUIDIC]
>>88292So you're saying that if Skies gets impregnated with Silver and Star's seeds, we will get a unicorn crazed scientist? What are the odds?
>>88293*pets OOC*
>>88293The funnier part of that is there's a Druidic country bordering both the Kingdom of Wittenburg and the Barrad Magocracy that's exactly the kind of place I would imagine Ash coming from.
>>88295Druids in any part of the world count as part of the same sect.
Sister Ash became a Druid on her own accord.
>>88296You don't understand, I'm talking about a country that's
nothing but Druids.
>>88297Ask the bloody question, or
>>88273Answer the bloody question as though it were asked
>>88299What exactly are you complaining now?
>>88299Jesus, alright...>>88265"Kerr, möchtest du hier bleiben oder nach Hause gehen?"
>>88302"Ich muss irgendwann zurückgehen. Wie kann ich sonst Jäger werden? Wie würde meine Erfahrung aussehen, wenn ich bleibe? Wie würde ich nach hause gehen Ich werde es nicht akzeptieren, verhungert oder geschlagen zu werden"
>>88304"I suppose summarized it is yes, he would like to go home. Or at least sometime, he said, to learn how to be a Hunter. He wants to join with Changeling army when he grows older, I believe."
>>88303"Niemand hier wird Sie schlagen, und ich werde dafür sorgen, dass Sie nicht hungern, bevor Sie nach Hause geschickt werden. Du hast mein Wort."
>>88265Can Sister Ash visit Abby Willows?
>>88306Yes. She is still under house arrest
>>88305"Ich traue dem Wort eines Ponys nicht, aber wie mein Bruder sagte, habe ich jetzt keine besseren Möglichkeiten"
>>88307Sister Ash enters the room, levitating a tray.
"~Good morning, sunshine!" She says, in a cancerously cheery tone
