Occupied Equestria - Prelude to Coming Madness
Anonymous

No.91000
Set 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.

Silver is learning about foreign pony cultures, Dark Star is preparing to put on a play for the children of the Saint Prancis Orphanage, Onyx has received several possible missions from the government, Brie is buying clothing, presumably for a long journey. Ash and Iron are leaving the office of a now enraged gangster... or not.

He comes closer to Spark, trying to engage conversation with him not wanting the counter mare, nun or filly to listen in. He talks softly, almost even a whisper, to him.
"For now, everything is somewhat alright. First visit do not go as well as expected, but we managed to maintain relations with the owner... somewhat. I will have to tell you later any details later. For now, just know that the filly is here and seens to be secured. No idea why a nun is here though."

I'm sorry, it's just that i'm feeling really sick and I don't have the energy to play every day if every week like I used to. Plus, real life has been kind of shit lately.

Besides, I entered this thing without a plan again, and it feels unwise to continue without even being sure what my own characters' stats are yet, lest it persist for a whole week until it boils over like last time.

I'll try to get this quest overwith some day, but not today...

He doesn't need pillowcases.
Okay, so assuming that there is sufficient time, and especially because GM kinda-sorta indicated I should/could, Brie would usher the Lings back to the Tavern, where he would see Onyx tending the bar.
"Oi. Come with me." he would say. Looking quite fetching in a new suit, which is mirrored by Kerr and Wesley's suit. Without a word, he would dart upstairs to Silver's room, where I assume he would find Spark,
"You're here too? I could use your help". he would say, pulling off the pillowcases and stuffing toys into them, particularly the toy soldiers and (oh fug, I'm going to have to back-read to see what toys Wesley was playing with aren't I?).

There are two ponies near Brie, before Onyx: A light grey pegasus colt with a dark grey mane, and a purple-grey bat pony colt with a black mane. Neither have cutie marks.
