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.

>>90598Well shit.>>90599Iron shakes his head.
"I sadly do not have the proper stability to handle a mare, unlike you."
>>90596"hello,are you sister marey? i was told you were in charge here."
>>90601"I haven't exactly settled down either. In any event, it takes a very long time for a foal to become old enough"
>>90602"Hello. Who might you be?" She looks up at him, and seems relatively warm. She is older, and is a grey earth pony
>>90600There you are
>>90603This causes another eyebrow raise.
"Do you participate in... active duties of sorts? You seem like the one to give out orders around here."
>>90605"Are you asking if I have ever served in the military? No, my number was never called"
>>90606Iron chuckles.
"While you do seem fit for it, I was talking about doing the same activity as your grunts."
>>90604"my name is Dark Star, i helped the Kirin nun retrieve those foals from.... i was thinking about volunteering here to try and help them recover as much as possible."
>>90610"Oh.... Oh, excellent! What do you think you can do?"
>>90608Ash would be the blue-pilled. Iron is a white knight of sorts.If this keeps up, he may snap out of it and decide it's not worth it.>>90609Iron nods.
"I see."
He breathes in again.
He considers in his mind if it's even worth it to keep this up. He's not budging an inch. Maybe Ash can pull an argument that may seal the deal.
Preferrably where no fires start. He would like to keep his friendship with Cauldron stable.
>>90612"What is it you want?" He asks
>>90613Iron breathes out.
"To be fair, I just want to help my client to retrieve the foal on your posession," he admits. "I think that is the plan. This is why I am pestering you with my questions and suggestions."
Hopefully this doesn't have any serious ramifications that screws everything. >>90611"im not really sure, what needs to be done around here? i can sympathize with all the orphans though. i lost my family a while back."
>>90615"Thanks in no small part to that Zebrican lizard... thing, we've been able to take care of many of the physical needs of the nunnery and the orphanage. It's the emotional needs where things are lacking"
>>90614He looks at Iron questioningly
"Retrieve?"
>>90616"Yes. Possibly bring it back to the abbey that he was taken from."
Iron exhales, feeling something wrong will happen from admitting this.
>>90616"i could help with that, ive been gifted with Empathy, since im not a zebra or changeling." is there anything the abbey needs,in way of supplies?"
>>90618"That's an... odd thing to just say. Your gift of toys has definitely helped. What do you mean by supplies, exactly?"
>>90617Just a minute, to see if Ash will join or if Iron is doing this alone >>90620"Food or water? does the abbey need any repairs?"
>>90622"Oh, Ash has helped us with our food and water. The abbey thankfully was not damaged in the War, and was maintained up until we were cut off from Canterlot"
I'm here. I've just been really busy e
waiting for the answer to some issues that concerns me.
>>90625Eh, i've been inexcusable autistic in how i've let it distract me from everything... Alright, now to figure out how to finish this scene without rolling any dice...
>>90625A puppet show might be good>>90623"You said the foals need emotional support right? are there any particular foals that need more than the rest?"
>>90626Just so you know, Iron has ratted out your intentions of taking the foal back to the abbey.
>>90628Well, it's not like she was trying to keep it a secret in the first place.
>>90620Sister Ash clears her throat after a few moments of stupefied inaction.
>>90632I didn't know what to do if he refused, tbh.
>>90625Top fucking kek>>90626You might have to - dare I say it! -
roleplay>>90627"Well, I would say any of the recently rescued foals. Little Bridged Clear always wants hugs, Mint Marine and White Orchid will need therapy, Sunny Daze was startled by a large wolf just two days ago, Abbey Willows has been trying to turn to dark magic... and so on"
>>90616>Zebrican lizard… thing[Indignant snorting]
>>90615Sister Ash nods slowly in response.
"That is, in fact, what we came for."
>>90635>>90617"Did you think we wouldn't want some recoupment on our investment?"
>>90634"as long as the therapist isnt a follower of sigmare Freud they should be ok. ill find them a good one. Did you say Dark Magic?"
>>90637"They will never get therapy. As for the dark magic, it was sacrifices to evil gods, yes"
>>90636Iron shakes his head.
Hopefully this will not be too expensive.
>>90636*eyes narrow*
"Do you consider children to be property?"
>>90638"why wont they get therapy? a foal did that? why?"
>>90641"Therapy is expensive. As for Abbey Willows behavior, I am afraid I do not know why"
>>90639>>90640He almost answers, then he looks over to the side as if in deep thought pondering this philosophical question
>>90642"how much does it usually cost? she didnt say why she did it?"
>>90643"We didn't ask, and it can be many hundreds of bits even for a few sessions"
>>90642Iron awaits Ash's reasoning to come to light. She might have a better path.
>>90642*eye narrowing intensifies*
>>90644"ill pay for it. i feel like i owe it to them."
>>90646After pondering Ash's question, he returns an answer
"Well... They are not real estate, obviously. And they don't quite seem to be goods or inventory. I think they are closest to capital, really. Like investments to produce other things of value"
