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.
Ash and Iron seem to want to head out from the abbey. Dark Star was having a conversation with the rescued foals after doing community service. Silver is having a surprisingly friendly conversation with Blue Skies about politics. Spark is babysitting and Brie is supposed to be doing the same. Onyx is sleeping.

Peacock Feather can be found in a class room, sitting at a desk with a number of empty wooden desks in front of her and a big black chalk board behind her. She is doing something with a set of papers in front of her, holding a quill with her hoof, and staring at the papers intently. She doesn’t seem to notice Dark Star enter the room

Iron has decidedly in doing plenty of stupid things without watching Willowbrooks before, but if he thinks it helps to watch him now...

“You see I’m here, don’t you? He said he would raise me. Make me into a respectable stallion”

And although I must apologize for showing up so late, it's also past 1:30 for me. I still wanna hear Henhill's story when I get the chance though.

What the fuck is your problem? If you want to do something with your character, then just go do it. There’s nothing stopping you from taking advantage of opportunities the same way the other players do. And if you do need the other players, you can at least say “I am waiting on x so I can do y.” We can’t read minds. We don’t know what you want. We don’t know why you are always angry with us. Do you know how fucking difficult it is to shelherd and GM a half dozen players who do several separate adventures while driving a thousand miles in a week, doing interviews and job applications, and trying to remain social? I don’t appreciate you being angry at me for reasons known only to you. I don’t like players being pissed off at me for things I didn’t do when I don’t even know what these things I didn’t do are. I’m not psychic, and people don’t communicate with me about their problems with me. They just act passive aggressive and stop playing for a while. That doesn’t help anything

"Hello Sister Peacock Feathers. im Dark Star i just started volunteering here. and i asked sister marey about putting on a play for the foals, she told me you had some experience in Drama And Literature."

She looks up at Dark Star, with grey coat, no visible horn, and her mane completely covered by her cowl. Her magenta eyes begin to sparkle “You want to put on a play?”

It wouldn't appear plausible from the atmosphere in the room to try to get a chance to talk to Henhill alone, would it? She wants to hear more from him, in detail.
Actually, may as well roll Sense Motive to try to get a hunch about that, before she tries to asks any stupid questions.

Sister Ash nods in acknowledgement.
"Yes.. And have you been well?" she asks with a bit of concern in her eyes

Willowbrooks does not keep his secrets
I'm guessing the sense motive roll is for Willowbrook, to see if he will let her talk with Henhill alone. The answer is no. At least, not at the moment. He wasn't expecting any pony to come into what must be his office at this moment, and feels as if he's been sort of invaded. Iron's reference to a mutual acquaintance may have disarmed the two guards outside, but Willowbrooks has not heard any of this. At the moment He's sort of wondering exactly why his guards let these two in. He is very off put by Iron's set of armor, which is more extensive than even police or the military wear, and kind of implies an expectation of violence. He is also very off put by Ash's moralizing and constant reference to first degree felony crimes that he didn't have any part in save for part of the benefits. Nor does he like Iron's explicit announcement of their intent to try to take Henhill from him. On the positive side, Iron's opinion of his virtue in relationships has partly soothed him.
Perhaps he would be willing to let her speak to Henhill in private under changed circumstances,
but as it is now, no.

This is almost as bad, by her own standards, but she only asked because she wasn't sure if he had any knowledge of the human trafficking going on.

It's obvious to me, but Sister Ash is less sure about it in character; she's tring to figure that out, since she didn't come with the will to drag back a child who did not want to come with her.
Willowbrooks avoiding her question about letting him leave made her very suspicious though, hence the squinting.

Sister Ash is a little bit naive when it comes to seeing through ponies that don't want to open up, in-character; but she could tell that a teenaged colt would be very impressionable and easily confused by these kinds of circumstances.
>>90727
She takes another slow step towards Henhill.
"Have you been hurt at all since.. that time? Everypony at the abbey has been very worried about you.."

She raises a hoof slightly, gesturing to his left eye

Well, she's obviously insulting Willowbrooks, all of Willowbrooks's associates, and generally the only path for social mobility for the lowest economic classes of the city. She's also saying it in a grammatically ambiguous way where it isn't actually that obvious that "those lowlifes in the warehouse" means the gang members, and not the foals who also were in the warehouse.

>those below your socio-economic station
The ascetic hermit returns this comment with a sharp and serious expression, as if agast that the stallion would ever suggest such a thing, before she replies with an even more convicted tone:
".... Things like wealth, class, material possessions.. such concepts hold absolutely no weight in the virtue of one's life. Ponies find virtue in the way they live their lives, all despite differences in how fortunate they may be."
And the eye-narrowing returns
"But to ponies like that who would let themselves fall so far as to predate on defenseless ponies, kidnap foals for mere profits, lock those foals in rusted cages im a lice-ridden abandoned factory, and sell them off to fiends that would abuse them, all for the sake of enriching themselves... Those kinds of creatures, do indeed lead very pitiful existences."
Her eyes seem to glow slightly as she recalls what she saw
"There is no hope for the wicked." She says solenmly

If kidnapping children and selling them to child molesters was their way of social mobility, they're the antithesis of everything stands for.

"I am not a 'harmonist', or whatever you ponies call the clergy of your local temples. I'm just a poverty worker; I came here to work for children who were left destitute by the war so that they could hope to lead peaceful lives, but I never thought I would have to deal with pony-traffickers!" she says, almost hissing at the prospect
