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.

Silver flashes Blue's trademark grin right back at her. "Well, there is fact that Chrysalis has not conquered numerous Griffon nations in past decade, Griffon nations that Griffonian Empire had machinations of reclaiming. And there is fact that Griffonian Empire still benefits directly from Changeling Panzer designs. And that Changeling Hegemony poses less of threat to Griffonian interests than New Mareland does..."

She rolls her eyes, then looks ahead and pulls her great outstretched wings back to her side
"There is more to be said about which nations New Mareland has colonized and their relation to the Empire, or exactly how happy the Archon is with the prospect of Changelings gaining a foothold on Griffonia should they conquer New Mareland after conquering an entire continent. But really now, what would be the point in saying it?"

Let that be a lesson about why you should stop spamming the threads by constantly replying to your own posts. If you have anything to say to anyone, reply to that person, so they actually know you are talking to them and can sort out the posts among the literal thousands in threads. If you don't have anything to say to anyone and just want to talk to yourself, then don't bother posting. All of us have laptops and phones that crash when we try to open large threads. All of us have difficulty backreading. So don't make it any harder than it needs to be

"Oh, I imagine they already have their own 'secret diplomacy' between each other about avoiding such possibilities, should they kick New Mareland out of this Triple Alliance and decide to turn on them." He stands up to stretch out his limbs. "In either case, I am not sure how much more massaged your body can get."

She stands up rather quickly, and walks to the door, opening it for him. She does not look more relaxed than when she came in.

You're right. The pics only say there's three blankflanks and the two cutie marks you described. No mention that the cutie marked foals are the ones being trianed by gang members.

I think you offended her.
Or she's trying to act professional, not sure
Or trying not to spark rumors of her bedding an old stallion while in a relationship with Star

Either Silver offended her, or she doesn't like the thought that the Griffonian Empire and the Changeling Hegemony could both turn on New Mareland at the same time, which could have also offended her.

"Silver Sword. I was let in here by Blue Skies." He points to the room he just came out of.

The question is whether or not the Red Earth Pony and The White Unicorn were the ponies with the Cutie Marks that were sent to the mademares.
The colts we brought back from Burger were a White Earth Pony and a Green Unicorn, who lacked cutie marks: White Orchid and Mint Marine.
If there were three blankflanks, that means that we've found two of them, so there's only one blankflank left, and two with Cutie Marks. Of the two with Cutie Marks, there were was a Filly with Sun Rays and a Colt with dumbells.

Computer crashed for some reason, so I'll phonepost for a bit to ease its burden.
Ah, so it's proven that at least one of the foals has to have a cutie mark. Got it.

He nods at the guard. "Thank you. Have good day." He makes his way past the guard, back outside the building through the way he came in.

We should discuss our plan of action.
As he follows Ash towards the East Sixth, he spaks up. "Do you have any plan on how to deal with the mademares?"

Sister Ash is silent for a few moments before she responds.
"... To ask them nicely if I can see the foals.."

Alright, I know I shouldn't comment on player/character choices, but I will admit that the Silver-Blue Skies scene didn't end in a way that felt satisfying
As it started on Tuesday, I thought that it would be a great exploration of Blue's secret admiration of Silver's philosophy of being kind and doing good to those you have previously received only evil from, in the hopes that they too may learn to be good. And in kind, of Silver's desire to make peace with old enemies from the war, and Silver seeing his old Highwaymare in Blue Skies and possibly falling in love with her. I thought there would be a test of how far Skies was willing to go with Silver. Instead, we got a conservation about a geopolitical situation neither would have first hand knowledge of which became an argument after Blue Skies basically told Silver that her country was intending to use his old homeland as a steak to distract a hunting predator, and Silver in turn restarted the argument that's been had twice before where he tells Blue Skies why he thinks her government is too weak to meaningfully resist the Changelings. So I figured that she would just show him the door when it became obvious that he didn't want to be persuaded, but rather belittle the government she works for. Maybe I should have had her make a sarcastic remark, but it would have ended the same. And the massage was neither him wanting to touch her nor him testing her, but repaying what she did for him the day before.
I feel like this would have gone differently if I could have stayed up on Tuesday, but I thought that I may have had stuff to do in the morning, so I went to sleep
I don't think Dark Star's player is returning for a while. This is probably the last time we will see Blue Skies for a long time
Again, I don't want to influence player choices, because you can do what you want to. I just wanted to express my feelings

Understandable. I had a feeling she was testing Silver on some level from how physical the two were being.

Gee, I'm not really sure how to respond to that...
Skies isn't a bad character, btw, despite my character not always getting along with her (for her own, in-character reasons).
Also, if you had a path you wanted my character to follow, I wouldn't be unwilling to try to play the role in my own way. I can be an actor as much as a player, so I don't mind if you wanna influence my character to a slight degree.

I do agree with this. You don't have to be scared of limiting players' freedom to tell the story you want.

I wouldn't put it as 'limiting character's freedoms', but moreso 'quest giving'. If there's a role you want me to play in the story, I'll steer my character towards developing that role.
After all, PCs are effectively protagonists.

I'm pretty sure at this point, it's too late to place limitations on character creation since we're already somewhat fleshed characters that now need to be motivated through their own likes and dislikes.
I suppose Iron can do that too.
Or, you know, make Iron jump off a cliff and start fresh with that unicorn/pegasus bard I keep talking about.

Nah, Sister Ash has plenty of room to change. I actually devised a flow-chart like system to figure out what different paths she can take as a hero. The only question to how she'd mature depends on what the long-term goals of the party outta be. So far, I've focused on developing her as a kind and charitable character, to flesh-creatures alignment as a neutral good ascetic. I was hoping to do some stuff that could make her stand out as a nature-worshipper too, sometime.
Characters can always change. That's what character development is. Goals, experiences, and comradery are all good ways to Stoke character development.
Besides, Sister Ash might eventually have to drop the ascetiscism gig, since she currently has an AC of just 10...

I sure hope Iron can manage. He is kind of a stubborn pony that only respects a good hoof or fist fight first, then words.

He's a puppy with a purpose to protecc, like Caleb.
Aside from that, he did promise to help her all the way. Tell you what. I'll go back to Cauldron for some work after helping Ash on her sidequest. Sound good?
That is if this doesn't go to shit and the bar isn't destroyed or the mademares killed or otherwise wishing for vengeance. If that's the case, maybe he can act like a merc for Black Hooves. All of this after fullfilling his promise.

I don't think he's doing a lot. At least not yet. He's more of a contingency plan of sorts. If the baddies want combat, they'll get combat kind of deal. Apart from that, he's just along for the ride.
