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.

>>89690"yes,mint he will."
"its okay to cry if you need to, no one will judge you. having emotions is what separates us from the changelings. I Think you'd make an excellent train conductor."
Dark Star pets his mane
>>89692>BathesHe's a crystal pony, he sparkles like onyx
get it? when he's happy.
>>89691Oh I didn't mean you couldn't, I just thought you were implying I drew onyx.
>>89690The similarities just hit me, and they hit like a truck.
An attempt was made some weeks ago at making Blue Skies in pony creator>>89691She is standing from a hallway with one hoof over with a pen over the counter. She looks back at him, not entirely pleased
"Did you leave something behind?"
>>89695>Casual racismI love itHe does not break out crying. He does continue to shed tears in silence, some now flowing onto the floor
"That... That would be nice"
>>89696In retrospect if you had posted that image shortly before the visa scene, I would have had Blue Skies question her own diagnosis of Onyx as "not a changeling," and do more tests >>89704"Let it all out."
Dark Star continues petting his mane.
"Maybe i can get you colts a tour of the trainyard. would you 2 like that?"
Dark Star looks at Mint then to White orchid
>>89705Here's a version with fatter legs
>>89708The look of bitterness fades from Mint Marine's face
"Maybe"
White Orchid looks up, still sad and with tears streaming down
"Yes"
>>89704He stands tall before her, like a soldier brought before a trial. His speech sounds repentant. "I am sorry for what I said earlier, and for how I said it. In another universe, I would not have acted so rude towards you in what was otherwise very friendly conversation between friends. But that is not this universe, so all I can do is apologize, and hope you will accept it, but I will understand if you cannot." He looks her right in the eyes. "If there is any way I can make it up to you, to help show not only how sorry I am for what I said, but also to show you just how much it means to me to have you as my friend, do not be afraid to ask, whatever it may be. It is least I can do to make up for my mistake."
>>89709THICC, nice"would you like to see the Docks,mint? i could take the two of you to both places if you would like that."
Dark Star motions for Mint to come sit closer to White orchid and he
Dark Star continues petting the sad foal
"its ok,buddy."
>>89710She looks directly into his eyes, firs losing any expression of emotion, then flapping her right ear down, then lowering her head.
She smiles at Silver in that way that is normal to her
>>89711Mint Marine does move closer, and for a moment he moves his tail and then looks Dark Star in the eyes
"That sounds good"
White Orchid continues to sort of cry, and looks down at the train set
>>89713He doesn't falter, and maintains his eye lock with her. He's waiting on Blue to pass on her judgement, or make a request of him.
>>89715"Did you have anything in mind?" She asks
>>89713Dark Star Hugs White Orchid and then pats mint marine.
"Just let me know when you to want to go. and ill take you when you want to."
Dark Star Smiles at both of them
"that sounds fun,huh?"
>>89716"No, I did not, but I would be prepared to do
anything you would request of me."
>>89719"Ok. i have to go find sister marey. im gonna talk to her about volunteering here."
Dark Star Stands up.
>>89718"Because I have wronged you, and I am determined to see that wrong righted. And because you are my friend. I would do anything you requested of me in good faith."
Fun fact: "Blue Sky" was the nickname of a 19th-century Chinese governor-general named Lin Zexu. He was high commissioner in charge of stopping the opium trade and was noted for his honesty.
>>89721"What, to you, is not in good faith?"
>>89720And thus he does. Careful not to step on the toys laid out
>>89723"Something so antithetical to my beliefs, that I could not under any circumstances go through with the action. Those crimes against ponykind so heinous, not even death is due punishment for committing them. In other words, nothing I would ever imagine you would request of me. In hindsight, I do not know why I added that."
>>89723Dark Star hugs Mint Marine and then heads out of the toy room.
Are there any sisters watching them? if not Dark Star trys to find one to stay with them while he goes and talks to sister marey.
>>89725"I do not know. It could be anything, and I would be prepared to do anything."
A little part of Silver deep inside of him is dying just a little bit more with every question asked, like this will inevitably end badly for Silver by him stumbling somewhere and ruining his friendship with Blue permanently.
>>89729"Let me ask a different way. Why do you care if you feel you have wronged me?"
>>89728*squeeky*
He's a little smaller
There are no sisters around
>>89730"Because you are my friend. I care about you."
>>89730Dark Star looks at both of them and says "i'll send a sister to look after you two while im talking to sister marey. be good until she gets here."
Dark Star walks out of the room and looks for a sister.
>>89733"I just want to make you happy."
>>89734She smiles warmly, and looks at him with searching, inquisitive eyes. But she relents
"Thank you"
>>89736He nods. She can see in his eyes the primary reason his answer was so vague: it appears he wants her to choose something to do, if she wants to choose something at all, either out of some odd respect or from him simply not really knowing what he would like to do with her.
>>89737She looks at once willing to cash in on the offer, but uncertain of what
"Is there anything you need from me today?"
>tfw last 50 posts isn't enough
>>89739Nothing important for now.
Silver is trying to apologize to Skies, and is succeeding for now.
Onyx had PTSD due to motorized vehicles.
Star is being an edgy boi in front of the saved foals, saying Comte should die and stuff like that.
Brie updated his pony, now looking more like a rouge.
>>89738"Well..." He puts a hoof to his chin to take a couple seconds to think. His eyes light up in an 'Aha!' moment. "Oh! I have just thought of something I would like to ask you. Would you like to go out later, maybe get some drinks, or see maybe...one of those movies, they have out now? You know, do things as friends normally do?" At the moment, it really shows that Silver has not had a friend to hang out with in a very, very long time.
>>89720He is eventually able to find Sister Marery
>>89741She laughs, "Afraid the train was going to hit you the first time you saw a moving picture?"
Then she smiles deviously, and says
"Yes, that would be alright. I may still want ask you for something
else later though"
She walks past him and rubs her coat, then her tail against him. In that moment she shows that she too, does not know how to make or keep friends, especially of the opposite sex
