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.

>>89640"There for all the foals here."
Dark Star leans down and whispers to him.
"But they are mostly for you and your friend. i was thinking about you two when i bought them."
>>89641"Insular Government of the Philippines" and "Dakota Territory" is about as pretty as it gets here
>>89642He (White Orchid) tilts his head
"So can I keep it for myself, or..."
Mint Marine moves closer
>>89644Mint marine is the blue unicorn foal?
>>89646Mint Marine is the green unicorn. The blue unicorn is a completely different "foal"
>>89647ok i was just making sure.
>>89644"You have to share but yes, i bought them for you 2 specifically. but that doesn't mean the others cant play with them as well, there are plenty of toys to go around. both of you pick out some toys you like. and if you two ever need anything and its within my power to get it for you i will."
>>89648"So they're
not for us?" White Orchid responds, almost touching his mouth with his left hoof in gesture.
Mint Marine speaks up for the first time
"Thank you."
>>89649"I Didn't say they weren't for you. in fact quite the opposite is true. i bought 100 bits worth of toys,there are plenty. i'm sure you boys will find something you like."
>>89649"you're welcome."
dark Star smiles at him then rustles both of their manes
>>89650White Orchid gives Dark Star a non-comprehending look, before diving down grabbing a train locomotive, with the same fevered rush to lay exclusive claim as a prospector may claim a section of river, or a homesteader his 20 acres of land
Mint Marine smiles for the first time, and looks up at Dark Star as his mane is rustled
>>89652"I'm gonna volunteer around here so you colts should be seeing me around a lot more."
>>89653Neither foal responds immediately. Then Mint Marine says “We are glad to have you. Very glad.” White Orchid’s mouth contains a locomotive as big as his head, which he places down between his forelegs, almost the way a dog will claim a bone or a toy to keep it away from the other dogs. Then White Orchid wags his tail and looks up at Dark Star
“We’ve been needing a big strong pony to protect us”
>>89654"I'll do everything i can to protect you two and all of the ponies of baltimare, and Equestria."
Good thing I would not enact on dirty hints unlike Comte.
Unless it's a mare.
Not a filly. A mare.
After this mademare business, I would go to BH HQ later to see his fate.
>>89658Anyways, Onyx is free from the building. Silver should have left a while before Onyx, but Silver is MIA
>>89659Both ponies look up at Dark Star with wide awaiting eyes, although Mint Marine’s slightly lowered head and greater distance still suggests a degree of reserve. Then, White Orchid dives his head into the chest to lay claim to a set of tracks.
>>89662I have no idea why I'm having so much trouble getting Silver to go back and apologize Blue, especially when it's exactly what I want to do.
>>89662"you colts enjoy the toys."
Dark Star watches them remembering the good times of his Foalhood.
>>89663Pretty sure it's because you feel like you're going to screw up again.
Protip: Stop discussing politics with her unless she wants to sell you her faction again. If that's the case, restrict yourself to questioning her powers in a cordial manner, something like "How are you going to stop the griffons from attacking us?" or "How do you plan on defeating the changelings?" Do not, I repeat, do not try to shill for not-Stalliongrad.
>>89664“Thank you” says White Orchid, before his mouth is full of train tracks. He seems intent on claiming the train set, the most coveted and expensive of the toys. Mint Marine now moves in himself and claims a painted tin tugboat.
With no emotion, nor looking at anypony, he says
“I didn’t think we’d ever get out”
>>89663I mean, he doesn’t
have to apologize to her
>>89666"I'll make sure he never does that to anypony ever again. He will Pay With his life."
>>89662Where exactly is dark star currently?
>>89668The abbey. Pretty sure Onyx can't go there unless you roll a d20 luck to stumble in there.
>>89669Yeah, I'm not gonna try then.
To the bar it is! Onyx needed to rank up in day drinking anyway.
>>89666I still want him to. And he would want to if he realized that he actually made her angry.
What are the odds Silver manages to catch Blue while she's in the Hotel's reception area if he leaves to apologize right now?
>>89667Mint Marine stays silent for a moment. The he lurches forward and snaps, almost in a bite
"Good!"
White Orchid moves back from the chest for a moment. He stands astride a complete toy train set, like a Baron or warlord watching over his fiefdom. He looks uneasy.
"Is that really necessary?"
>>89670As Onyx walks back, he hears the loud sudden pop of a backfiring engine. And for a moment the grizzled veteran of the Great War feels as if he were taken back to that horrific day he lost his eye to a firecracker
>>89672I mean, Onyx was in there with her for probably at least 10 minutes
>>89673Fuck it.Silver halts in his tracks, the meaning of a small number of social queues made by Blue finally clicking in his mind. "...Дерьмо." Upon this realization, he makes a 180 degree turn and heads back for the Grand Baltimare Hotel.
>>89673Dark star with the coldness of the arctic in his voice utters one simply phrase.
"Yes."
>>89674The skies are cloudy and a wind blows in, feeling a bit like early fall in Saint Petershoof. Pedestrian traffic on the streets is at a bit of a lull, being too early for lunch but too late for getting to work. There it is again, the Grand Baltimare Hotel
>>89673Onyx immediately drops on the ground, front hooves over his neck.
After the flashbacks ensue, he realizes it was just that. He returns to the bar a bit more somber than before.
>>89676A brief, distant memory of his foalhood days crosses his mind. Silver doesn't pay much attention to it as he mutters to himself about being a Celestia-damned idiot. He nods at the guards outside before entering.
>>89677Onyx is missing an eye? >>89675White Orchid looks a little unsure
"I hate the guy..." he eases up a little some tears in his eyes, and after a delay of a little too long he says
"But the nuns told us that to take a pony's life is very serious"
>>89678Actually no. I was just trying to say "It's winter in a place too far south to have an actual normal winter" without actually saying it
>>89677Thankfully, there are no firecrackers, fireworks, or any other such explosives that ought to be banned. When Onyx gets back to the bar it's pretty early. Few drinkers, and preparations are for any possible lunch crowd
>>89679Security is probably supposed to stop Silver, ask his intent, and see if he has any weapons on him. Instead, the guard laughs when he sees him
"Coming back for seconds already?"
>>89680Must not have been around for that, 'cause I had no idea.>>89681He replies as he passes, a little amused at the statement. "Yes, that I am."
>>89681Dark Star walks over to white orchid and sits down next to him
"He is a very bad pony. what he did to you 2 makes his life forefit. he will be in pain for the rest of his pathetic life and then it will be snuffed out and he will go to Tartarus where his soul will be destroyed forever,for what he did to you two. i will make sure."
Dark Star wipes the tears from his eyes and calms his voice,Dark Star pets white orchid and then helps him set up the train tracks
"So,what do you want to be when you grow up? do you want to be a train conductor?"
>tears from his eyes=white orchid
>calms his voice=Dark Star
>>89686One of these days I'll see if I can into art and at least draw a portrait of Silver.
>>89684Mint Marine answers, with a bitterness in his voice
"May he rot in Tartarus"
White Orchid does not respond. He wears the pain on his face, though he does not look at Dark Star. He seems conflicted, not sure if he believes Dark Star is correct or he is wrong. He is certainly not willing to argue with an adult. He does answer the second question. As he is pet, he says "I don't know... I do like trains"
>>89682Blue Skies is actually visible in the lobby, towards the back. She is doing something with paperwork at a counter
>>89686If he were a unicorn I'd say he looks like a Changeling that was too lazy to completely disguise himself
>>89688>>89689Reeee, but I like drawing. You know, even if I'm not very good at it.>>89690He trots towards her, calling out to get her attention. "Blue. Hey Blue!"
