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.

>>90549>not intending to be rudeWHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH IRON’S PLAYER
But yeah, that scene should be continued. I know the next lines of dialogue, I’ve just been too lazy to dig and find the posts
>>90565"Fire torpedo at target Skies!"
*launches semen torpedo*
>>90566"Captain, we've expended all the torpedoes!"
>>90567"Shit! The target is looking at us sternly! We need to withdraw! Fall back into base!"
>>90569Oh hello. Don't mind me. Just shooting a load on a Blue Skies replica at the void.
>>90242>>90242He laughs slightly
"I don't think you understand.
We are the only game in town. And a betrayal of one, is a betrayal of us all. The gang is family, and it does not take kindly to an attack on family. He'll think twice before lashing out over something as mundane as spanking, which any parent or even the nuns were going to do anyways."
>>90572https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niByTamxaj8 >>90573Crap. This is not good.Iron feels like he's not lying to him. He's doesn't have many options left. He tries to open up a new venue.
"What do you expect Henhill to become? A mere grunt or a successor?"
>>90575Iron raises his eyebrows.
"Really? Do you not have somepony to create and raise a foal of your own?"
>>90574"I don't... I do not have a colt to groom into a successor, no"
>>90578Iron seems genuinely confused, somewhat losing focus on the foal negotiation.
"But you have stability and confidence. I can see your power from here. Why are you not swimming in mares right now?"
>>90579"'Swimming in mares' isn't exactly conducive to family life"
>>90580"You can always pick one to harbor your young. Why did not choose one and have a foal with her?"
>>90581"There have been... shall we say, difficulties in relationships'
>>90582Iron cocks his head.
"Of what kind? Have you been metaphorically backstabbed by too many mares to trust them or something?"
>>90583"That's... Not necessarily the issue, but this life isn't made for the typical family stallion. Or at least, it doesn't attract typical family stallions"
>>90584"Well, you do not have to have a typical family life in order to attract a mare into staying with you and raise a foal. You sound like you would protect her to the ends of the world, and your supposed monopoly on gang warfare means that there is little to no possible traitorous acts."
A poke of his chin.
"The one problem may be that she could be an undercover cop, which should not be too hard to find out since you seem experienced in your line of work and should find out without much issue."
A scratch on his side.
"I only suggest this due to the unreliability of Henhill as your successor. As a grunt it seems plausible, but he may not be able to fit on your role as a leader. Foals who you create will naturally fit any roll and will do it without much question since you have a far stronger authority over them than random colts picked off from an abbey, which you have to deal with a sleugh of mental problems that may resurface when the time for him to fit his roll will come."
>>90585"I... I don't..." He's embarrassed it seems at the moment
[1d20-2 = -7]>>90586"Is something wrong?" He cocks his head again.
For the sake of it, Iron tries to read what Willow Brooks' mind is going through.
Rolling sense motive
which is rather low. Ash please do this as well when you're able. >>90587Iron cannot discern much, except that it seems he finds Iron's description of him somewhat flattering
He continues
"Henhill here can make a fine operator. He is catching on quickly"
>>90588"I only saw him give you a wallet he pickpocketed it while making the target drunk. I do not think that is leader-worthy material yet."
>>90589He smiles
"Hence the apprenticeship"
>>90590"What did he learn to be considered leader-worthy so far?"
>>90590I was talking to Sister marey last time i posted right?
>>90591"You just saw a lesson on how to deal with gamblers who refuse to pay up. He's learning the tricks of the trade, slowly"
>>90592He was going to see her, but yes
>>90594Dark Star Could Relate to this colt.Dark Star continues his journey to find mother superior
>>90595And thus he finds her. She's in her office, evidently doing administrative work
>>90594Iron sighs.
"Are you sure you cannot simply woo a mare and have a foal of your own in order to create an even better successor than Henhill may prove to be?"
Keep in mind of what Henhill has now:
A functioning hierarchy
Steady employment
A family to always look after him
A father-figure who can provide full attention to raising him
Skills of self-reliance, self-defense, communication and leadership
What awaits him at the orphanage:
An impoverished nest of foals
Uncertain prospects for work
A cold society with no relatives outside the institution
Multiple adoptive mother-figures who are more concerned with younger foals
Lack of practical education to survive in the real world
Spark is utterly blue-pilled.
>>90597He tilts his head at Iron
"How long has your most stable relationship lasted, body guard?"
