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.

>>92324"Well, the first thing im gonna do is put together a play for them. i volunteered to be the monster."
>>92326"Oh Really?"
She leans back, and crosses her legs, taking a definite interest in this
>>92325"Okay..."
The stairs go up to a second level, which seems to occupy the area above the mural room and is much shorter than the whole car. Half of the car has seats, or even couches near the center that face outwards, while half has couches that face in. This whole area has a pastel peach coloration to it. The dome is completely glass, allowing for a view in every direction. Through the glass can be seen the rapidly moving scenery. Beyond the trees, to the left ( and the right of the train) can be seen the ocean of the Celestial Gulf. Wesley moves up the domed windows and basically does pic related

>>92327"yea, i want to raise their spirits so i was thinking of making it a slapstick. im gonna dress up like a changling."
>>92327I thought one of them might
>>92329And it seems to be Wesley
>>92328“Slapstick? So a comedy routine? Can I be the Changeling?”
>>92330"yea a comedy routine. maybe,why do you want to be the changeling?"
>>92331“Well why do you want to be the Changeling? It’s definitely not so I can dress up in a costume with big black hole-filled socks that are secretly kind of sexy or anything...” She scrunches her face, and looks up to the left
>>92333Well shitDo trips count for anything?
>>92333>>92334I’m leaning towards pic related.
Fine. Kerr is more reserved, but who knows. He may eventually come out of his shell
>>92332Dark Star Smiles
"but that's the same reason why i want to Do it."
>>92336She continues scrunching
“I’m not sure you’d be as sexy in holed socks”
>>92337"hmmm,you know i think i would like to see you in those.it would be very sexy. i hand my role over to you.i was just gonna paint my face black and wear a fake horn. hmmmm maybe i could be the hero."
>thinkingDarkStar.JPG >>92335I thought he would be more impressed. Brie waits for some indication of decreasing interest before continuing on the tour, enjoying the view a bit himself.
>>92338“What kind of plot did you have in mind, exactly?”
>>92339If he’s waiting for the declining interest of Wesley, this is going to take a while. A long while.
The buildings slowly give way to forests and open farms, with the ocean off in the distance
>>92340i Dont Really have one,as of right now."
>>92341“So... you wanted to have a Changeling monster, then it is vanquished by a hero?”
>>92342"yea thats the barebones of the plot. im not sure what else should happen though. you got any ideas?"
>>92343“Well, you could have a queen sending out drones to attack a pony city. Or a queen replace pony princess. Or just an unrelated scene in a series of comedic scenes..”
>>92344"the replace a pony princess one sounds interesting. which princess? maybe Luna?"
>>92345“Well, if you want to justify Alicorn rule...” she points her head up and codes her eyes in a “hmph” expression
>>92346"yea that's probably not a great idea,i admit. you know what if there is a beautiful Pegasus princess?"
>>92347*Beautiful Blue Pegasus princess
>>92347“D’aww. Well, Nimbusia was a democracy where only the best were citizens, so no princess. But there have been several princesses both in the east and here in Equestria. Maybe a chancellor or mayor would do... Or maybe the Changeling kidnaps the princess, then the ponies decide they don’t need a princess after liberating themselves”
>>92349"that last one seems like the best one."
>>92350“That may do. What else do you think would be good for the play?”
>>92351"maybe the changling tames a manticore. and uses it to Escape the town."
>>92353"the Foals would probably like it."
>>92354“I just thought the slaying of the enemy would be the end”
>>92355"it will. after she escapes a team tracks her down and slays her."
>>92356“Hmmm... well, think about it more. I liked to watch theater as a fillie... though those often weee tragedies. Maybe I can help you edit and revise it”
The waiter arrives with the wine
>>92357"Thank waiter,what year is this wine?"
>>92358“A 1012. It’s not an old wine”
>>92359"thats fine by me." Dark Star slides the waiter 10 bits and whispers to him. "could you get the band to play some my way by Frank Sintrota."
>>92360“Did you mean ‘Night and Day’ by Frank Sintrota?”
[1d20+1 = 20]>>92295I'll roll... though it looks like I'm a bit late.
>>92298Why did he jump towards the door? Awww. He doesn't actually like me.
>>92306Spark is slung and carried away.
>>92361"in the Blue of Evening,would be a better choice i think."
>>92362Hot damn. It seems I have a little bit of a resistance going on here.
>>92362>>92364Well, maybe you didn't pass out as expected....
>>92362Well... it looks like he takes it like a boss. He feels a sense of dread as the joy is literally sucked out of him. The color of the passing scenery outside and the painting on the wall flicker. But he does not tire there after
>>92363“Very well”
After a minute, the band starts to play
Skies blushes
“Did you do that for me?”
>>92366Dark Star Smiles at her warmly
"yea i did."
>>92366Well I guess Onyx isn't carrying a passed out horse anymore
>>92367*coo*
She places a hoof up to her face
>>92365I shake off the shock of the sudden drain.
"Where are you taking me? We can't just run off and scare them like that. If they start getting nervous, then they will actually be a problem, and we are enclosed with them."
>>92368Spark is set down.
>>92369Dark Star sips some of his wine
"How'd i get some lucky,to have wonderful marefriend like you?"
>>92371“D’aww, do you really think I’m that wonderful?”
>>92368And it looks like onyx is not passed out
>>92370"Well then
you can deal with the changelings. I'm not meant for.... Child care.... Yeah, child care"
Onyx mumbles as he continues to walk back to the car he's staying in.
>>92373I follow him.
"Come on bartender. You aren't that bad with foals I bet. You are just on edge."
>>92374"Huh, on edge? Why ever could that be?"
He as he gets to the room he looks for his bottle of whiskey
"I appreciate the confidence, but I don't know if it's well placed"
