Set six years after season 6, Occupied Equestria presents an alternative history where 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.
Half of the party - Brie, Onyx, and Spark - are on a train to far off Bales to try to cross the border into the Changeling Lands. the other half remains in Baltimare, where Silver is searching catacombs seeking books filled with long buried dark secrets, Dark Star is having luck with his marefriend, and Iron aiding in trafficking exotic animals

Silver grimaces slightly at the sight. There is no way he'd be able to take all of these books with him on the trip back, and he doesn't have enough time to look through them all to check for anything useful to the Black Hooves.
"Если бы только Белый Свет был здесь. Она сможет сделать это через две минуты." His voice still remains hoarse, evidently not yet healed fully from the damage it took. Hoping it will serve as a good example of what this library contains, Silver grabs a random book off of a shelf, and skims through its pages to find what it's about.

"Ich möchte ihn leiden lassen. Ich möchte ihn für das, was er Ihnen angetan hat, und andere zweifellos nach unten ziehen. Ich möchte die Organisation, die er aufgebaut hat, zerquetschen, und aus seiner Asche möchte ich meine bauen. Ich bin ein Schurke, aber er ist etwas Schlimmeres, aber er ist zu gut verbunden, um direkt von ihm heruntergebracht zu werden. Dafür brauche ich mächtige Verbündete." Brie says with a scowl on his face, looking off toward nowhere in particular.

Interesting. Radiant Hope. He puts the book back, deciding to come back for it and the rest of these later. He moves into the next room, satisfied that there's nothing pertaining to his current objective among these shelves.

"Dear Cinnamon Corn
Over the past several decades I have discovered a way of conversing with spirits. I have reanimated dead matter. I have raided the tombs of ancient nobles and sent for the long dead of distant lands. I have spoken to ancient sorcerers, voodoo masters, priests, and wizards. I have learned secrets thought forgotten to ponykind. I have even discovered a way to forestall death in myself. There was something distinctly pleasurable in the knowledge and pleasures I found. Having power over death made me feel alive. But for all of this, the power I sought eluded me. My attempts to bring back my Wood Hill, little Whinny, Petra, High Sails, and East Wind, have not produced the desired results.
I was very cautious to attempt to reanimate her, first conducting a number of tests on corpses, then later on zebras and other such living subjects, before having a semi workable product. I was never able to completely reattach body to soul, succeeding in either restoring sensation to a bodiless spirit, or motion to a soulless body. Never both. After having a number of working tests, I decided, finally, to dig up Wood Hill from Rosemont Cemetary, in that plot her father left her. I very carefully performed the spell, and succeeded in bringing forth her spirit. For the first night... the first month, it was everything I had wished for. Everything I had worked for. To be able to speak with her again. To be with her, in a way, for the first time since that terrible year of the plague. Though I could not feel her, touch her, nor see her face, I was overjoyed to have even that. But she was not so. Thogh her spirits were lifted as were ine for the first few weeks, after a while, her morale faded. Her spirit tethered to a set of salts, unable to move, or to feel properly, she became despondent. Something about the inability to trot through a moonlight meadow, or feel the sea breeze, or smell the salty air. Sadness overcame her, and she became inconsolable. She even became resentful of me, as if I had locked her in a prison. I eventually reversed the spell, and placed her salts away. I never subjected the children to the same proceedure. I became heartbroken, and for months backed away from both my experiments and my business.
You may recall two years ago I took a wife by the name of Midnight Maelstrom. She is the daughter of one of my ship captains, engaged to be married to some sailor. I needed the marriage to remain in good standing in society, as ponies began to notice my reclusive and strange behaviors. I blackmailed her father into allowing the marriage, and she broke her engagement and married me. What you may not know is how much I have warmed to her, how she makes me feel a warmth in myself that I have not felt in a very long time. A few months ago, she had my child, a colt named Tall Mast. I believe I will devote more time to my new wife and child, and to running my old father-in-law's company. I am going to step away from alchemy and the dark arts, though it has permanently scarred me. Perhaps, you should do the same.

For a few seconds after reading, he stands there, reading it over once again. It's...a lot, for him to take in. Much of it he expected already, especially pertaining with what would happen if Wood Hill's spirit was brought back, but it is still a bit of an emotional shock to him. As he reaches the end for a second, he comments to himself that it is nice, even it does not change what he did, that Curwhinny gave up such dark deeds, realizing that there were more important things in life. Such as living, Silver chuckles to himself.
He folds the letter away, wondering if his goal was ever reachable. He also remarks to himself that this likely never got into Cinnamon Corn's possession, and that it means they likely continued their own necromantic practices. Perhaps, they continue even to this day. It's not a pleasant thought, to be sure.

He was talking about Curwhinny's plans, if that helps clear things up.

Hmm... A new fear, that of Cinnamon Corn residing in these very halls, takes hold for but a second, and he quickly dashes it against the walls of his mind. No matter if it is justified, it will be of no use worrying about it in this situation. Focus, Serebry. Focus!
Still, as he enters the next room (assuming he isn't already in the next room), he makes the decision that he mustn't spend too much more time here.

Not willing to surrender the bread, Kerr quickly grabs the uneaten bread and butter before Brie leads them away. They proceed down the long, narrow pathway to the room. In this time, the number of ponies in the lounge car areas, as well as the dining car has vastly increased, with most (but not all) seats being taken now. Brie is able to get back to their room, where they have relative privacy, their own seats, and a large window. Wesley immediately dives for and wraps himself up in a blanket

The sudden appearance of daylight forces him to shield his eyes with a foreleg while they adjust to the sudden change in brightness. Once they do, he briefly bathes in the warm embrace of Celestia's light. It's a welcome change from the dark, dank, gloomy atmosphere of the catacombs, and the brief respite lets him gather his strength once again. Still, he has a job to do, so he quickly returns to it, making a quick note of where this alternate entrance is for next time. He leaves the hatch open to allow more fresh air to flood in.
With this room discovered, he moves back into the hallway, searching the vaults on its far side.

Yeah, sorry. Passed out. At least I'll now be able to go to the end!

Actually, you are right about that.
Hmm. It is probably not good idea to leave that so open. Returning to the previous room, Silver uses his magic to grab onto the wood and metal rectangles (which more than likely used to be a bed) and push them to block the stairs leading out.

Iron chuckles lightly.
"Well, thank you. The cat was really nice after the scratching though. Would you mind helping me out of this armor? It is rather tedious to take off by myself and I am probably going to need a medicine pony later if all the scratches and bites are any indication."

Only those two. I don't believe this unicorn has ever actually stated that she is, that's just the logical conclusion. Also, the name is Saint Gallop. I though I was getting that wrong
This room seems to be a location where wears would be tested or repaired, or otherwise altered. There is a drill and a sowing machine, among other things

Silver uses his pocket watch to see how long it's been since his last potion use, before continuing on. He most certainly does not want to fight all of these at once, especially in his current state, should the effect wear off.

Just remember, the act of grabbing the pussy is usually a surprise to the pussy, so while there is an immediate experience of shock the pussy must feel fully supported and assertively stable as it is held. You don't want to abuse the pussy, but it must know that it is being assertively held and be able to feel that it will not be harmed by the grab.
We're talking about cats here right?

Seems like most everything of note down here has been destroyed by time and elements. Feeling enough time has passed, Silver downs another potion of Hide From Undead, and continues travelling down the hallway to see if it connects to the other side they had already explored.

Good. By time we are ready to head back here, air should be breathable once again. With the lower section explored, Silver heads back upstairs, now on the left side of the catacombs. Before traveling down the unexplored hallway up here, he looks inside of the library that got set ablaze to see if anything is recoverable at all.

The note:
“Wildfire, we have been following Joseph Curwhinny for some time now. His strange behaviors have made him the source of many rumors, and only his near monopoly over the import of many rumors have kept him within the good graces of society. Recently, we’ve come in contact with one of his confederates. One Cinnamon Corn, has revealed much about his secret activities, and I fear we’ve found the truth is worse than the speculation of any old mare. His crimes range from grave robbing to Dark necromancy to probable mass murder, or at least grave mistreatment of his Zebra slaves.
To know the extent of his crimes makes his marriage to my Midnight Maelstorm all the more unbearable. She was the light of my life. When he took her from me last year, I was heartbroken. I was certain that it was only though coercion that her father approved the arrangement, and I determined myself to dissolve this unlawful union. Simply seeing her with him was painful. To know with certainty that he is a monster makes it utterly intolerable.
We will put an end to him, and to his dark magic. He has caused enough suffering.

Iron looks at his body so far, trying to gauge how long until the healing process is done.

Okie dokie.
Give it good cleaning and sharpening, maybe it will serve well. Silver decides to keep it, wrapping up the rusted weapon in cloth to keep it from accidentally causing damage to any other of his possessions.
Search: Who needs this many portraits in one room? Silver investigates them for anything unusual, or to see if they are hiding any compartments or the like.

There is a large portrait of what seems to be a family together. There is a young ashen grey unicorn stallion cozied up to a valise looking unicorn mare. Both are wearing fancy dress of a much older clothing model. Beneath them are four smaller unicorns, a pink female, a white male, a grey fillie and a little green colt. To the right of this portrait is an aged ashen grey unicorn stallion. To the left is a portrait just of the mare. Further to the left of that is a monocled white unicorn stallion with a black mane. The portraits on the left and right most seem a bit further away from the wall than the center two
>>93222
Her ears, which had been angled down slowly go up, and she smiles as she accepts the hoof

It is so.

The first book is most definitely of interest to the Black Hooves, even if it's not about Curwhinny's research. The second...well, Silver thinks it might be. It looks like the kind of tome Curwhinny would have learned dark magic from, at least. I wish I was more skilled in magic, at times like this. Like White Light, or even Spark. I could tell if there was any magic from this or not. After a few moments of back-and-forth arguments in his head, he slowly opens the book to get a peak at it's contents. Of particular note, he avoids using his magic to do so, using only his hooves to interact with it.

Iron's lips curl downwards, disliking the thought of a mare getting hurt, even if it was her choice.
"I see. You do seem to keep track of everything around here."
Another check at his body to see if the process has been accomplished, his face looking forwards, lost in thought.
(I am not sure what to do now that Ash's job will be over after this visit. I suppose there is always Cauldron to give jobs for me. Maybe the unicorn as well. What to do. Should I try to pick a fight with that Fillipe fellow or just go to Cauldron, maybe have a little chat and a hug?)

You better not make the Black Hooves evil lich monsters with those books.

The first thing he would notice is that there is a large set of wooden planks on the ground, which evidently must have been blocking the door at one point. There is a red "X" on the wood.

"Oh don't act so surprised. You didn't think they were going to be cooped up in a room the whole time did you? Where they will end up will be up to them, but I'm going to see to it that the Hive learns precisely what Comte and his goons have been up to. One of two things will happen. Either they will help us bring him down,... or we'll get strung up and eaten." Brie says with a smile, taking a sip of his whiskey,... as soon as its served.

For Comte to have amassed his wealth and stature, as well as a cadre of degenerate colt-fuckers suggests they have a means of avoiding the law. This means that they can't be brought down by conventional means, and sorry to say but I don't have alot of faith in the Black Hooves. There's 4 other ponies in addition to Comte who were in on his distasteful practices, and I'd imagine a dozen or more lackeys on top of it. Who could be better for infiltration than a Changeling?"

Aww... Nothing the Black Hooves have need of, but Silver takes them anyways. It's sort of like keeping the good part of Curwhinny alive, he thinks.
Next up: the stone trunk. Silver inspects it, finding such a piece of furniture odd with everything else being wood. Could be there's something particularly important inside Curwhinny wanted preserved from the elements.

... Yup, it was a good idea to read that first. Silver promptly nopes away from the sarcophagus, at least for the time being. Is that Joseph Curwhinny? Did those militia ponies actually capture him? How? What happened to him and Midnight Maelstrom? These and many other questions come to mind as he finishes off his search by getting on the ground and looking underneath the bed for anything, like a safe or a lockbox.

The Lings have told me that there were 4 others in on his,... perverse habits, and one can assume they would be well connected. I hope to enlist a hoof-full of Changelings to replace Comte and his associates, and from there go through their underground pony by pony and eliminate them. Comte is too well connected to be brought down by the standard authorities, and the Black Hooves don't seem to have the mettle to spill blood where its necessary. So, I plan to make a deal with the Changelings. Their help or mine, now and going forward."

"Whipperwhil,
In the time since we've last conversed, I've rekindled my acquaintance with Curwhinny. Though he has been fairly cold towards me over the past few years, I was able to gain a sense of his daily routine. He has been spending an increasing amount of time in his house by the seashore, and less time on his farm estate further uptown. However, he still visits the farm on a predictable schedule, going there on Saturday evenings, while tending to leave his wife and son behind in the seaside estate - though he has been bringing them along more than once. Judging based upon the occasions that I have walked in, as well as upon silhouettes visible in the farm house windows, it seems that he retreats to the network of catacombs for perhaps a few hours at a time, typically less if his new family is with him. What he does in that time is difficult to determine, although the amount of time spent in the catacombs tends to be less than he would spend in his earlier years. He still meets with his family for church on Sunday mornings at Saint Eligius, where he has maintains a public profile.
It should be possible, first, to watch as his wagon leaves the seaside house on a Saturday, and then to see if he is bringing along Maelstrom and Tall Mast, or if those two stay behind. He tends to be inside of the catacombs after 8 PM. There are two entrances to this underground network, one in the law twenty paces southeast of the well, and the other in the basement of the farm house. It should be possible to catch him alone in the catacombs. He does keep servants around, and there may be some around, so be prepared for a possible fight. You have asked me about the extent of his magical powers, and I will say that he is indeed rather powerful and knowledgeable. He has completed at least the first steps to becoming a lich, although he maintains at least most of the outward signs of a mortal body. As you have probably seen yourself, he seems to have stalled the process of aging more than a decade ago. However, he retains his pony appearance, and has even fathered a colt. In the past I asked him about immortality, and he told me fairly mystically about 'the conquest of death, though he has been more reticent to similar questions recently. It should be assumed that he has done something to himself, and that he is resilient enough for the process of killing him to be far more difficult than simply slitting his throat as he sleeps.
You asked me if he had placed a part of his soul in phylactery, and I must say that I do not know for certain, but he has made comments to the effect that he has. I believe the most likely item for this purpose is an old locket he had with a small painting of his deceased wife, Wood Hill. I have not seen this locket in a while, and it is impossible to say where he could have hidden it. I will say that, with his resources, he could have hidden it anywhere on three continents, or simply thrown it into the sea, so it is best to be prepared for not finding it.
I myself will be leaving soon, to Albion, then perhaps even later to the far North of Griffonia.

It's a little surprising, Silver would have to admit, as he rereads through the message a couple of times to make sure he read it right. He had thought already that the locket had held sentimental value to Curwhinny, but for it to actually contain a part of his soul? He digs through his bags for the small silver locket, suddenly grateful he had kept possession of it. Of all the places he could have kept it, he kept it hidden right under his own house. And had it not been for the mining operations that exposed the catacombs in the first place, it's likely it would never have been found.
He puts it back in his bags, safe and sound. He'll have to meet up with everypony, explain to them what he found. This is big.
He looks one last time at the sarcophagus in the room, pledging to himself that he'll come back soon and put this old pony to his final rest. For now, he has one last room to explore, in the hallway across from him.

"The mission was getting the Lings out of Baltimare without alerting the authorities. If you don't want to continue you don't have to. As I said to Onyx, part of the plan is for somepony to return to Baltimare and carry a message to Blue Skies. You don't HAVE to continue if you don't want to. I won't lie, the chance of dying is pretty high." Brie says finally, and with no mirth.

It’s still stone and rectangular. Hopefully the sounds he hears don’t actually come from it, but from distant construction equipment.
The room across the hallway is the most damaged, most smashed room of them all. It is fairly large, with many tables in it, though many are flipped over or even broken. There are many broken and shattered glasses upon the ground, and various spilled chemicals. There are also several pink crystals, some shattered, some intact

Probably should not cut myself on this floor. To this end, Silver keeps damn sure to avoid any broken glass, even if he's wearing boots. He also grabs the pink crystals, at least those that are intact. Clearly they must have some connection to what Curwhinny did here, to find them both here and at the crypts he saw earlier.

But they also told me more of their story, which quite honestly only makes me more resolved in the intended plan. I know its madness, unreservedly. Its still what I'm going to do."

Once again, Silver wishes he had some measure of knowledge about magic, crystals, and artefacts. Or better yet, if he had his daughter by his side. The best he figures on his own, they're meant to store some kind of magical energy.
Search: With the crystals gathered, Silver looks around for anything else that can be recovered from this mess of a room.

If anypony would be suited to figuring that out, it would be the Black Hooves. He grabs what he sees of them.
There. I am not sure if this took more work than I expected, or less. He's actually a little relieved, as he makes his way back to the room where he had stashed all of the alchemical components he had found and gathers them up. At least nothing went too terribly wrong, and he's completely finished with exploring the depths of the catacombs. He feels the full weight of everything he has collected, as he carries what he can on his person. What he can't he keeps levitated next to him. It'll make for a very impressive haul for Blue.

Bully for Silver!
With everything gathered, Silver makes his way out via the farmhouse entrance, to free himself from the gloomy, dank atmosphere of the undead-filled catacomb halls. A pony truly doesn't realize how much they love Celestia's light until they've spent an extended period underground in a place like this.

As silver leaves the mildew infested catacombs and looks outside, he can once again gain appreciation for what exactly the old farm grounds are now - a vacant lot in the middle of an encroaching city, with much of the grass already removed, an artificial lake partly drained, and construction equipment and partly built multi-story apartment buildings past the chain linked fence and on the other side of the road from this brown lot

Time marches ever onwards. Silver sits down in front of the leveled farmhouse, setting the jars of alchemical substances beside him and removing the gas mask he had been wearing. After such an adventure, there's nothing else Silver feels like doing more than just enjoying a nice cigarette, which he does after fishing a pack out of his bags and lighting one up. As he takes a nice long drag, capped off with a satisfied sigh, he looks out to the city before him and reflects on these changing times. He can only imagine how different Baltimare must have looked, 250 years ago when Curwhinny was still alive.

From the little patches of what what was that can remain a picture can be pieced together: long, flowing grass meadows, with a creek and a scattered trees on a property that varied in altitude perhaps 20 feet from the lowest point to the highest point. Beyond the property, where the apartment buildings are now, were forests, or at least denser croppings of oak trees, and other deciduous trees. At least that's what the trees that remain in those areas would suggest. As for the buildings of that era - none remain here. Then again, it seems like none were there.
They certainly didn't have Luna's preferred cigarette brand, so at least that has improved over the years. Even if the damned fascists put a bit a pack tax on it

Still, seems like it would be a nice place, were it not for the secret necromantic practices going on right under the noses of this area's inhabitants. Silver could see himself living in a place like this. He exhales some smoke, remember how quickly it seems cities all across Equestria have changed, even just since he was born. It makes him feel like a relic of a bygone era.

As the cities urbanize, industrialize and sprawl, many areas remain wild and untamed. It is not just the Ever Free Forests - to the south, in the Forbidden Jungles, and the Hayseed swamps, there be monsters, and dragons over in the badlands.
And if Silver is relic of a northern Equestria that no longer exists, at least he is not the only living antique. After all, Blue Skies' views on pony race relations are so antiquarian - or atavistic - as to be something straight out of a Hearth's Warming Eve tale. As the world moves forward, not all of it moves forward at equal pace.

He wonders to himself what future generations would think of all of this, and ponies such as himself they would surely view as backward, and who had yet to 'get with the times'. Who knows, with all of that space stuff he's heard about in those science-fiction novels, maybe those future generations of ponies will even be living among the stars, having long since given up the bounds of their home plant. Might be not all of that he's heard of is so ridiculous after all.
Ah, well. Something to ponder further another day. He takes one last drag on his cigarette before snuffing it out, gathering the jars back together, and heading out. He wants to head to the gun store, see if they can't clean this SMG he's found, get it into working order. If he's lucky, they can also take care of this sword he found. Probably not, but it can't hurt to try.

A little smile.
"No need to thank me."

Iron nods to himself.
"I think it is getting late. I should escort my client back to the abbey. Thank you for your assistance."
A little bow is made at Saint Gallop.
"Be safe."
With that little scene, he fetchs Ash and Caleb who he assumes they're standing at the shop counter and promptly escort both of them back to the abbey.
Pls no roll for encounter, plantation colt is 2wounded4battle.

It's neat that they made another one of these.
Saw the River Republic go communist in another one of my games recently, despite historical focuses being on. Haven't seen that happen before.

There you are
I finally did a playthrough as Nimbusia. I am pleased to see that Purist Nimbusia, after being expelled from the Coalition, is a light blue color. I also really like the "colony" decisions, and wish they were more widely implemented in the game

Back to the abbey it is

Yes, in the front of course

That's genuinely great to hear. You know how disappointed I was when I found out that Independent New Mareland's color on the map was forest-green no matter what path they took?

When he reaches the abbey, he makes sure to knock on the door.
(Leave the two. The job is complete as far as you are concerned.)
Shaking his head, he rejects his thought for now.
(First ensure safety, then go for the Watering Hole for a job from Cauldron.)
Unless you were invested in the whole easter foal hunt.

"Well, the foals are safe for the time being. They seem fine and may come visit here from time to time."

"Yes. They seem to have found a new place to stay. Hopefully they grow as ponies and power through."
(Keep it short and simple. They probably will not like that the gang took over some foals for their profit.)

Might be something's wrong with my game then. I haven't seen a difference between the map colors between different paths, not including the standard "Stick With Equestria" path. Or I just need to explore the paths I haven't taken, yet. Still got both Non-Aligned paths and two of the three Communist paths to go down.
Anyways, got dinner that needs to be eaten, then I'll be back for certain.

Iron nods again.
"It is fine. I will take my leave now. Take care of Ash for me, will you?"
With that, he wanders back to the Watering Hole.
(Hm. I guess the gang will be my main source of money and renown. At least they do not seem like wusses. Apart from that capo pony that pissed his pants.)
He snickers as he walks.

I'll suppose that sigh was from the nun and not you for my decision.
...right?
Iron calmly walks towards the Watering Hole.
(I think I will ask Cauldron for a bed for the day. Maybe we can share it or something along those lines. But first, I should check on her well being.)

"Well, no. I was looking for something that would at least bring some sort of renown. Something that expands my reputation. I do not think simply talking to ponies does that."
He looks up.
"Well, I did go and handled a tiger, which was not as fun as it sounds."
He extends his unarmored hoof, covered in now sealed scratches.

She takes him down a few streets, past shops and apartment blocks, to a brick apartment building. Then inside, up one flight of stairs. It sort of looks like one of the buildings that Iron visited that first that first night

"Yes, it must have been the same as influenced your decision to wrestle a tiger"
She opens the door, showing a simple enough apartment, with a kitchen to the left - some counters, a sink, cabinets - and a living room over to the far end, with couches, a chair, and a radio. To the right are doors
>>93440

"Yes. There is a story where a tiger was raised in my tribe. I never had the chance to see it, but they said it acted just like any cat here would. Just a little on the bigger side. It is rumored that it still prowls around the tribe to this day."
He still nods.
"Well, I only need some grass to sleep, so my mind is blown by how much you have here."

Iron looks warily at the couch, then at the floor..
"I might still want to remove my armor just in case my weight makes me fall through the floor."
He shakes his head.
"It is not that we have many domesticated tigers around. It was just chance and a native mare who has special connections with animals gave the little tiger some comfort."
Finally he shrugs.
"You are right. Many of our huts are made of clay and stone. Not much else apart from that."
With that, he starts the long process of taking his armor.

>>93452
She giggles
"Suit youself. Or rather, unsuit yourself.

As he takes off the chest plate, he nods, absorbing the information.
"Huh. I suppose you are right."
After a little while of unstrapping and unequipping, curiousity over this Zebrica arises.
"What was it like there, according to your father?"
He looks around, trying to find a place to place his armor pieces and shield.

>>93456
She looks back to him
"As I understand it, it was a very big place with many different cultures and environments. His area was tropical forest, mostly. Maybe not as wet as the jungles down south, but not that different either. Much of the country lived in rural villages with relatively simple architecture. There were larger cities by some of the coast lines and rivers, but nowhere was it as industrial or advanced as this city"
He can probably stand on the floor, and move his armor off to the side of the couch

Her color scheme is of whites, greys, and black stripes, and ironically the zebra is less grey in color than most of the party members, with the white and black dominating. Her eyes are blue and her nose is grey, with a pure black and short mane. She's a bit more muscular on the limbs than a normal female, which is hardly surprising if cracking limbs is her profession. Her flanks are white with a big black - you guessed it - cauldron them, in the same style as a cutie mark.

Iron nods.
"Well, I meant that you never found a zebra stallion to copulate with, but I guess that kind of answers it."
He looks at his own grey coat.
(Why do most ponies I have met have grey on them?)
"Frankly, my father would just pat me on the back no matter which female species I bring back as long as it produces offspring. I am unsure why he is like that. Other ponies back at my tribe are a lot more restrained than him, opting for ponies of the three main tribes."
(Maybe he had many misadventures on his own path to maturity?)
Iron nods.

She has an expression of concern
"Since the massacre on Black Briar Pier a few days ago, they has been vastly increased tension between the main sections of the gang and the portion lead by Underboss Antonio Pransciso. There is a strong belief running through the gang that he was responsible for it in some way, because it was his operation that arranged the arms transports and some of the protection squads. He claims otherwise, but the suspicion is on him. Other ponies claim that it was an entirely different criminal operation that is trying to set up in Baltimare, a so called 'slaughterking.' Still others believe that the government set the entire thing up as an excuse for a crackdown.
Both of these two claims are made more plausible by the events in Manehattan over the past couple weeks, which in themselves are worrying. The new governor there has ordered a 'purge' of any criminal syndicate elements, and more control on shipping in and out. There is a fear that the same could happen here. There is also talk of Manehattan syndicate agents coming to Baltimare."

"I would believe the last possible option. So far you people seem too united to try and backstab eachother, or else there would be more than one gang in these parts."
He ponders for a moment.
"And this Manehattan place also seems to cracking down on crime it seems. I think that solidifies that any organization that looks for political power without dipping into organized crime may be responsible. It is too much of a coincidence that the attack and the subsequent crackdown elsewhere moments from eachother. If there was a new family setting in with such anonimity that no one knows him, it must be working for the government."
He scratches his chin for a bit.

“Most individuals within the gang are still looking for power, wealth, and respect. It’s far from inconceivable that an underboss wanted more. Or at least, was trying to do things on the side that blew up in his face. Almost literally.
Well, the crackdown in Manehattan began two weeks before the massacre of Black Briar. It’s two separate jurisdictions. But if it could happen there, it could happen here.
There has not been any violence within the gang. The fear of possible crackdown is helping to keep the situation from boiling over.”

What’s wrong with the name? Did I call it ‘Blackwood Road’?
I think I can use this

"No no it's fine. I've actually got two reasons, the first was my position in the military. It was better for me to be skilled with more conventinal weapons than firearms. The second was some advice I got. See, when I was just a baby my momma told me "son, always be a good colt don't ever play with guns." Something about "You'll get involved in gangs and shoot a stallion in Reino just to watch him die" Or something. As weird as she could be I did decide to follow her advice, and here I am."

Well, sure. It's easy enough to think of a scene that would be interesing enough and emotionally impactful. But it's not so simple, because the scene - even when it is a dream - does not take place in isolation, but will effect the development of a character and the interpretation of characters and entities featured in the scene. And that can be problematic.

Look, I don't know what to tell you. My last IC post was him heading to the gun store and your response was just "Alright" with nothing else following. If you want to skip all of that to just him arriving back at the Grand Baltimare Hotel and say that he dropped off his newly acquired weapons at the store to be cleaned, I'm perfectly fine with that too. We don't need to describe every scene of the characters doing things in stores if you don't want to.

Whatever. He arrives at the weapons store, and is greeted by the same pony he saw last time. I think it was a yellow Earth Pony named "Happy Hunting." Or maybe he was a pegasus. I don't remember. This, by the way, was the meaning of the 'alright' posted 4 hours ago, for the record.

Sorry, that particular meaning was lost on me. Thought you were just acknowledging what I had said.
I know I've said this before, but I'm sorry for all the trouble we've given you since this started. I know we are probably the most aggravating group of players you have ever had the misfortune of DMing for, and I am grateful that despite this you are taking the time to craft this game for us. I've been having fun with it.
Hooray for not being trapped in the void. As he enters, Silver gives Happy Hunting an apologetic look. This kind of work Silver has been asking of him can't be very pleasant. "Hello. I have couple more weapons I am wondering if you could help me with."

In that case, I'm sorry we're your first players. I think you've been doing an excellent job so far despite all of us fucking it up, though.
Silver maintains his apologetic look as he places the Bits Gun, Combat Knife, and Canterlot Sword on the counter. At least he keeps the rusted sword wrapped up to avoid getting rust in Happy Hunting's store. "I was hoping you could help me with maintenance on these weapons, cleaning them and getting them back into fighting shape."

He takes the Bits Gun off the counter, slightly worried he's going to get kicked out of the store and possibly banned for something he didn't even know was apparently wrong.

Thank goodness for small miracles. If he can make things up with Blue, by some other significantly larger miracle, he might have to ask her about it, see if he could do something or if there's something she can do that would make it no-so-illegal. "Unfortunately. It has been around since late 8th century, at least, though it has been exposed to elements and underwater for most of that time. Found it inside catacombs underneath Curwhinny farm."

Wait, if I'm using UK weapons laws, shouldn't knives and swords be illegal?

He nods, a little surprised by this. Being underwater with that lake ghast since the Great War, he figured it would be more corroded than that. "I suppose I will take care of that along with sword.

"You too." He grabs the wrapped-up sword and the knife, and leaves the store. With that taken care of, he makes his way to the Grand Baltimare Hotel. Just before he gets into view of the building, however, he makes sure to stash the Bits Gun in a safe place in a nearby alleyway, where nopony else should find it while he's inside. After all, he doesn't want it to be found on him when the guards search him at the door.

He smiles that grand ol' satisfied smile of when you get finished with a task. "Indeed. I have many important things that need to go to Blue Skies right away." This much is most definitely obvious from how his bags are practically overflowing with books, notes, papers, jars, and little pink crystals, and the large amount of jars that still have to ride alongside him in the grasp of his telekinetic field.

"See for yourself." He starts pulling out everything he found from his bags and putting them on the floor. Every book, notebook, note, paper, and jar that pertains to Curwhinny's research, as well as the pretty pink crystals. He also hands her a few books he found directly. "In addition to all of that, I found these: book with knowledge on kinds of dark magic Curwhinny used, tome containing various old and dark secrets on influential Baltimare families, and logbooks from Curwhinny's shipping business back then. I should say that I found note from Curwhinny to his former friend, Cinnamon Corn, which mentioned that he never truly succeeded in his ultimate goal of reuniting body and soul. He could bring one back, or other, but not both."

There's that warm, almost prideful feeling from a job-well-done in Silver's heart. "If I had brought cart, I also would have brought back various books that Curwhinny had in his library. Turns out there is another on opposite side of catacombs, still untouched, and there are some from library that got torched that could still be recovered."
On a more somber note, he pulls out Private Green Basin's dog tags and campaign medals. "I, uh...I also found New Marelander soldier in quarry. Private Green Basin, pegasus, 19th Infantry underneath General Ironwood. He had apparently got himself caught by ghast or something of that sort, and had been turned into some form of lake ghast, hiding underneath surface of artificial lake inside quarry. I put him to his final rest, figured Black Hooves would be best ponies for making sure his tags and medals got to his next-of-kin, so they might know he died with honor in service to his country and his people." He pats the bandages around his neck. "Gave me one hell of scratch. Took couple significant chunks of flesh from my neck during fight."

He's...a little upset, at the apparent lack of empathy. But, he reminds himself that she's Nimbusian, not New Marelander. It's unlikely she would have much remorse for a fallen soldier from New Mareland. "Yes, indeed there is. Books of same stock as what you had recovered previously. I would have brought them back, had I more storage space."

"Indeed it will be. Should not take me long, either." He turns to leave the room. Before he does so, he pauses just at the door, looking back at Blue with regret clearly in his face. "And, Blue, about earlier...I am well and truly sorry, about all of that. I am ashamed at myself for what I did. It was terrible, and I...to be honest, I would fully understand if you did not even want to see my face after this is over, for what I did. But, I do value you, and your friendship. Not...any of that back there and then, but your actual friendship. Just...laughing at jokes, having simple pure fun together, discussing things from our past that bring us joy, consoling each other for things in our past that haunt us...occasionally having one-sided political arguments that are clearly in favor of one particular pegasus I know." He motions to Blue, smiling, if only for a brief second. "I know I am just some dumb, old pickle skull, who messed up so badly he has barely even come to terms with how badly he messed up, but, whatever it would take, for this silly bonehead to try to even just begin to make up for all of that...I would gladly do it in heartbeat, if you would allow it."

In Silver's mind, that is a very different question, enough so his expression briefly changes to one of mild shock. "...In traditional sense, like I did with Storm, or how...Dark does with you? No, I do not think so just yet. I have only known you for three days, now. I feel as though I still have much to learn about you. Perhaps, over time as I learn more about you and decide that I like what I learn, that would change and I would develop feelings for you. Perhaps. But it would be extremely premature to say, explicitly, that I love you now. As friend, however, so far I would say so."

"Oh. Well, from what I remember they had a speech of sorts before that explosion happened. Something about pretending to be natives and attacking their political opposition, the cowards."

"I..." He sighs, now definitely disheartened by her response, and now definitely believing that she wants nothing to do with him after this job. Great way to ruin everything, Silver. "...alright." He leaves in a dejected march, stopping at the front desk to speak with the pony staffing it. At the very least, perhaps he could find that the pony there is more willing than Blue to show some basic empathy towards Private Green Basin and his unfortunate fate.

“One little tip for dealing with friends and other assorted non-lovers. If they wanted what was underneath their tails to be violated, they would raise it for you on their own free will. They don’t need their tails to be aside with magic”

He doesn't say anything back into the room he just left. He hurts too much. He just heads for the front desk, seeing if there's somepony who can help him with Green Basin, at least.

So, it's clear you fell asleep, but I figure I might as well leave one more thing to continue into tomorrow, since it just came into mind.
As if someone flipped a switch in Silver's mind, he halts in his tracks: some gears slide into place, some connections are made, and he has a couple realizations about Blue's reaction to an answer Silver gave that, if he's being honest with himself, was a half-truth.
As if on a mission, he turns around and marches right back into Blue's office. He looks Blue straight in the eyes, his looking strangely resolute compared to the depressed gaze they had when he first left, and when he speaks he could match Blue in his serious tone. "Blue, what is it you want?"
Uh huh. Perhaps Iron will be the one to do it.

Looking him right back, and with the same serious tone, she says
“The same as anypony. I want to be loved, to belong, to be treated with respect and have my dignity honored, and to strike back at those so called ‘reformers’ who pretend the best way to help a bee is by destroying the hive.”

He still maintains his tone, not backing down. Though, it's joined by something else she can't quite place. "You want truth, straight from heart? I do not know what to feel with you. You always seem to have this mask on, built up from your days in Nimbusia and your time in Black Hooves, and while you have it on it seems as though you do not care for anything but how to best help your country achieve its goals. But when it slips off, or cracks, and I get to see behind it all at little bit of who I feel true Blue Skies is? I see perhaps most beautiful, kind pony in Equestria, perhaps all of existence. Beautiful not just on outside, but on inside, too. It is kind of pony I would want to get to know better, to befriend, and, if situation was different, perhaps even explore my feelings towards them with. I want to peel off more of that mask, to get to know you and show you just how beautiful world is with you in it. You make me feel things I have not felt in long time. You make me feel as if I was young again. You make me happy. And believe me, if you were not with Dark Star, I would want nothing more than to see just how beautiful you are under than mask, and see how much I truly loved you.
"But, I can not claim that which belongs to another. Besides betraying your trust, what I did betrayed Star's as well, and it makes me regret my decision even more. I do not want to get between you two any more than I already have, and my brief attempt to explore my feelings about you has already proven to have been disastrous. So, I say I do not love you, not because it is true, or even that I particularly want to say as such, but because I know that while you are with Dark Star it is best that I do not. But I can not deny my heart and my feelings. I am here because I care about you and I value your relationship to me, no matter how messed up I may have made it with my mistake. I still want to get to know you and see underneath that mask. I still want to be your friend, and someday if situation changes to explore going further than that. You are Blue Skies in my life, and I do not want clouds to come in just yet and snuff it all out."
He continues to speak, with more insistence place on his words. "So, Blue Skies, I want to know: I want to see you remove that mask you have had built up over your lifetime, and expose who you truly are, what you truly feel, and I want you to tell me from your heart what it is you want. How do you feel about me? Do you even still want to be my friend despite everything? If you still wish to remain friends with me, then I will remain as stalwart friend to you as I can be. If you say you have feelings for me, I will ask you to give me chance to make it up, so that even though I can not have you I will not lose you forever. But, if you truly see no value in maintaining relation with me, friend or otherwise, then I will do this job for you, and you will never have to deal with me again afterwards. I promise you, with whatever honor you believe honorless cur to have."

"I feel as though there are times what I am speaking to two different ponies when I speak to you. There is this all-business side, which I am speaking to right now, and this much kinder, gentler, caring side that I occasionally catch glimpses of. How I have perceived it, how I have seen it through talking to you, it feels almost as if this no-nonsense part of you is mask you have had built up ever since your upbringing."

Are you sure it's wise to speak to the pony you've essentially raped like that? She may be acting distant because you went full base from her caring side.

"Silver, you do not like having to compete with a far younger stallion. But how would you like to compete with a mare who has been dead longer than you have been alive? Do you think I want to be always thought of as the inferior to the Queen of Bandits, at once the strongest and the fairest of them all? And that's nothing compared to what I face with Dark Star, who has fallen in love with this idealized version of a mare, and has mistaken me for it for some reason. I know I cannot sustain that illusion indefinitely.
Silver, I know you have feelings for me. Or had them anyways. And I like to be the subject of affection, just as anypony does. And to that end, I let you get far with me. I let you get very far with me because I understood what it meant for you. I was generous with you, and you took advantage of that generosity.
I had one condition with you. Exactly one condition. And that was that you would not inseminate me, or at least not my vagina. Yes Silver, I was going to let you fuck me after I rolled over. I was going to see if you wanted to, and then either pull out a condom from the nightstand, or just let you make love anally. Instead, you immediately moved aside my tail, and without asking me if I wanted it, penetrated me without protection. I felt uncomfortable. I knew that it was not what I wanted. But I did not say anything. I did not say anything because I liked the attention you have given me these past couple days. I liked the affection. And I did not want to hurt your feelings. But at the same time I knew damned well that I had promised Dark Star that I would not be inseminated by any pony other than him. And while I knew damned well I had been violating the spirit of the promise by letting you go as far as you had, I intended to uphold my exact words by making you wear a condom before you fucked me. And you, by forcing yourself inside me, did not even allow me to so much as keep that part of my promise to him.
And so, uneasily, I asked you to at least pull out. And though I was still uncomfortable, I still lied there. But I knew that was not enough, because you would be disappointed if I played a purely passive roll. So I pretended to enjoy it, because I knew that is what you wanted, and I wanted to give you what you wanted. But after all of that, you could not even pull out. And thus I was left physically violated, and having myself violated Dark Star's trust."

"And now when you tell me that you don't actually love me, that you really don't want anything other than to be friends, and that I am definitely no 'Bandit Queen,' to you, well... that's just insulting. In that case, why did you even try to fuck me in the first place? Am I just some easy lay to you? Was I stupid for trying to protect non-existent feelings? Was it all for nothing and the whole thing just a mistake for both of us?"

Silver remains quiet for a couple seconds, before responding: "So, that is how you see it? You think you are competing with Storm Warning? Blue, you are not inferior to her, and I do not view you as competing with her. You are Blue Skies, not Storm Warning. I would not want you to be Storm Warning, and I do not want another Storm Warning. You are your own pony and that is what makes you so great. I want Blue Skies. And Storm...well, you said it yourself: she has been dead for long time. Why would I focus on that past I already had, why would I try to compare you to it, when I would have you here right in front of me in present and future?
"I am sorry for having violated you, and your trust, and your generosity. It was extraordinarily misguided attempt to explore my feelings for you. I am more sorry than you could ever know, and more than I feel any words could accurately describe. Had you said something, I would have stopped in heartbeat. I never wanted to hurt you or betray you. I know nothing I could do will change fact that I did so, but I will still try because I feel that you are more than worth that effort. I would not be here if I did not think so. So I beg of you, to give me chance I am not even sure as stupid pony as me deserves, or to at least tell me to my face to get out of your life. To at least give me some answer so that I might comply with whatever it is you wish of me, whether I like answer or not."

Silver is...well, if he's being honest with himself, he hasn't got this part figured out just yet. How in Tartarus is he ever going to show everything he wants to show her?
Slowly, he trots up to the desk looking upon he form laying flat against her worktable. She looks so...vulnerable, right now, it brings a desire to protect her out from his heart. He wants to tell her everything is going to be okay, even if he himself isn't sure that's entirely true. He tentatively reaches a hoof out, and...starts petting her, right on the top of her head. It's a soft, gentle motion, and Silver puts as much as he can into making it seem reassuring. A small part of his mind tells him that this is the right thing to do for the moment. Though another part of his mind reminds him that he can't always trust his own mind. Silver promptly tells them to be be quiet.

It requires a little bit of a balancing act on Silver's part for just a second, but he manages to put his other forehoof onto the table, letting it rest against one of hers. He rubs it against the soft fetlock, feeling it against the frog of his own hoof. His voice is soft, much softer than she has heard before. Or, at least, its the softest he can make it, what with his voice being damaged and whatnot. "Blue..."

Not a good sign, but Silver keeps on course. More specifically, he wraps Blue up in a sudden embrace. He sounds as if he's barring his heart for her to see through his voice: the joy she's given him, the regret he feels for having hurt her, the sadness and fear of her leaving him, the hope that he can find something to do or say to make this right. All of it. He doesn't care how vulnerable it makes him to her, how much of an opportunity it gives her to hurt him deeply, because deep down he knows he needs to say it like this. "I love you, Blue. Even though I am just some old, stupid, pathetic pickle-head, unworthy of mare like yourself, even though there is other who has your heart, I still love you."

He doesn't want to let go just yet, for the fear that somehow, if he does, she would disappear into nothingness, and be lost to him forever. He knows he has to, eventually, and that he still has to get those books for her, but he wants to enjoy this wonderful day of bright Blue Skies just a little longer. So, he holds her in a tight embrace, happy to be able to. "I would still like to go out with you to see movie, sometime after this is done. It will be on me."

Caught between Silver’s hooves, the little bird in his grasp does not fly away - to be lost forever to him to the endless skies. She remains right there.

"In that case, I hope I shall see you for that tomorrow. It will be fun, and I will enjoy spending some time with you." He pulls back out of the embrace to be able to look Blue face-to-face. The joy that fills his beaming smile is a welcome far cry from the depression when he first left this room, and the determination when he returned. He keeps his forehooves on the sides of Blue's head, cradling it between them. "But for now...I believe you have some books you would like me to retrieve for you from catacombs, yes?"

Silver gives her a small salute and a smile to leave her with as he, for a second time today, leaves her office. His spirits are in much better a state than they were previously. Ponies who watch him pass could swear he had a vibrant aura of gaiety to him. Sure, he's not quite there yet with making things right with Blue: he's got quite a bit of work ahead of him. But to even be able to say he has the opportunity to work towards that goal is enough to make him jovial.
First, he stops at the front desk, as he has yet to take care of Green Basin's tags and medals. Perhaps the pony here will be willing to do something to help.

Might have just gotten off a cigarette break. Phew. Wow, those are potent. Is this how Silver smells to ponies after he has one?
Either way, he shows the pony here the tags and medals, and explains the situation to him much similarly to how Silver explained it to Blue.

"I found these on New Marelander soldier, out in quarry near Curwhinny Farm. Private Green Basin, pegasus, 19th Infantry underneath General Ironwood during invasion of Equestria. He had gotten himself caught by some form of undead creature in quarry during that time, and was turned into lake ghast. It is like zombie, almost, except exceptionally strong and resilient. I put him to his final rest, figured Black Hooves would be best ponies to make sure his dog tags and campaign medals got to his next-of-kin. They need to know he died with honor in service to his country and his people."

>>93656
He takes the dog tags, holds them up, and stares at them, a subtle tear in his eye
“Thank you for bringing these in... you know, it makes a real difference to bring these in. It may mean a name gets taken off the MIA list, and a family gets closure”

It feels nice to do something nice. "It is least I could do. He served his country well. He deserved peace, and his family deserves to know that he is resting peacefully now, watching over them."

He nods, then looks to Silver.
"Thank you, again. You say he was killed by a zombie? That's a terrible way to go. And at the very end of the war as well. Definitely in the last week"
He nods, then looks to Silver.

"Zombie or something like it. I have heard them called 'ghasts' before. It looked like he was chasing EDF soldiers into catacombs underneath Curwhinny Farm when he got caught. They met similar fates, either dying to some unknown causes or getting turned into ghasts, themselves. I would, uh..." He looks uncomfortable, mentioning this next part, and remembering the state Green Basin's body was in. "...well, his body is recoverable, but...it is not pretty sight. Not at all. I would certainly not want to remember him like that at funeral, if I were of his family. Zombification does number on equine body. Doubly so when body was underwater since War's end."

He nods
“War dead are collected and buried at the cemetery off Coffin Bay road on the promontory. Don’t be too worried about the conditions of the bodies. Corpses in worse states are sometimes interred.”
The pony stands back to show his rear legs. Or rather, his lack of rear legs, as they have been replaced by prosthetics.

Silver gives them a respectful acknowledgment. He doesn't want to be rude, after all. As a bonus, he can gain an appreciation for how even the field of prosthetics has advanced since he was young. "How did that happen, if I might ask?"

>>93664
He figured as much, though that hasn't had much of an impact on his perception of this pony. Silver himself sounds foreign, after all. "Artillery. Probably most devastating weapon of war we have ever developed. I am glad it did not fully take your life. There are lack of good ponies in this world." Silver suddenly feels very lucky that his own scars are individually minor compared to this stallion's. "If you do send team to collect Green Basin's body, I would advise caution. I do not know how many more ghasts are waiting beneath surface of water within quarry, and they are deadly to face against in combat. If team hears voices, or even faintest sound of something near water, then they need to leave as soon as they are able."

He looks at Silver
“Artillery is not a pleasant weapon, no. Far more unpleasant to have explode behind you. I’m glad we had more of it, and more planes as well.
I’ve never seen the undead. I’ve never heard of the ‘Curwhinny Farm’ either. I guess there are a multitude of horrors out there to be stumbled upon. I stumbled upon a few myself in the jungle. I do know that the War left its scars - and its casualties all over”

"Right. I hope we can avoid creating any more casualties, from now on." He holds a hoof out for the pony to shake. "I do not believe I have caught your name yet. I am Silver Sword."

"I am not, no. Mercenary, I suppose is term for it, or at least that is term I have used in past. Thinking about formally joining with Black Hooves, though. I may not agree with everything that comes from those higher up in organization, but it seems as though joining would offer best opportunity to help my fellow countryponies.

He frowns slightly at the term, and his voice takes on an spiteful tone. "Stalliongrader is insult to what it used to mean to be Severyanan, back when we were proud people, and had honor and purpose, culture and history." Realizing that this could be misunderstood as him being upset at Dusty, he smiles at him. "Sorry, it is nothing you said. I just...do not have good memories of what Communists did to my beloved Severyana, land of my ancestors, nor do I have good opinion on that bunch of traitors that make up that 'Supreme Soviet', hiding up in that ridiculous Palace they built."

Silver nods back to Dusty. "I certainly hope to."
Not only did Silver take care of Green Basin's tags, but he also made a fine new acquaintance. Bonus. With all of that taken care of, Silver heads into the alley where he stashed his Bits Gun, grabs it, and makes his way home to put away his newly acquired instruments, and grab his cart for the job of hauling books out of the catacombs.
>>93679

No idea. Shit's pretty dead today. Or more like undead, am I right gentlemen?
Anyways, once Silver's got his cart, he returns to the oh-so-lovely Curwhinny Farm entrance to the catacombs. Silver is starting to feel rather familiar with this area, which is a...startling prospect, to be sure.
>>93681
Well, it shoots bullets, and you use Bits to buy bullets, so I suppose you could say it fires Bits.

"Yes. They were trying to pretend to be natives to stop some sort of business agreement or something like that."
A tribal-like version of a bulb turns on in his head, remembering something. He stands up and walks towards the pile of armor plates.
"I think I snagged a paper related to it in that pier where the meeting took place."
He rummages through his inventory to show her.
Up to you if he finds it or not, but I remember he took it. Mostly a business plan of building a sort of natural resource extraction.
Iron nods.

He apporaches back to the couch and gently sits on it, releasing the paper from his mouth inbetween the two of them.
"Here. You should know better than me what this means."
Yes.

There is something almost magical about this nighttime quiet. I can see why bat ponies like it so much. Oh well, time to dive back in. It takes him a minute to prepare the gas mask for the adventure: reattaching the air cannister to the gas mask, working the valves so he can actually breath while wearing the damn thing, checking the filter, and prepping another cannister in case he needs to swap them out. He doesn't yet trust the quality of air inside the catacombs. Give it a day to air out, perhaps, and he might be more willing to do so.
Parking his cart right outside the cellar entrance, Silver, deciding he's ready, puts on his gas mask and dives right back on in to the dank, dark catacombs. Hello again, my friend.

Iron shrugs.
"I just went in, beat up some of the weak ponies there towards the ship and grabbed a chest containing some gold bars. Nothing else apart from that. No idea why the explosion happened but it was sure nice since I get a good amount of money for it."
He nods when Cauldron confirms the nature of the document.
"I see. Nothing particular about it? Anything like who is proposing what to whom?"

As to be expected when you have catacombs filled with the undead.
Silver heads for the unburnt library first to his right, figuring it's more important to get done first since it has more books he can recover.

"Well, aside from that plan, they were also taking guns from overseas to arm themselves and all. From the objective of eliminating business oportunities to hinder economical activity, maybe we could say that the government caught on to this and planned an attack. This is why I assume that they attacked and not any sort of crime bosses, although maybe one underboss from the gang may have traded money for guns. I suggest to keep an eye out for any sort of marine-based underbosses, see if they spout their dumb rhetoric."

We will put you to rest soon enough, my friend. You can count on it.
And thus, Silver begins grabbing everything he can from the library, first stuffing books in his bags, then anywhere on his body they will fit, then finally carrying as many as he can with his magic. He feels very encumbered by the weight of all of these old and dusty tomes, and he'd sneeze if it wasn't for the mask he's wearing. He takes a look as he works to see how many more times he will have to do this if he wants to clear out this library.

Iron nods.
"I see. Well, they probably were not aiming directly to cause some damage. It was more of a bonus since someone in the gang took part on it. We shall see if they try to rise up more support against us later on."
Iron nods.

Suffice it to say, he’s not carrying many books this rounds. In fact, he may even have broken his carrying case
>>93768
“I don’t know... there has been unease in the city government as well. They don’t like arms trafficking any more than the foreigners. I just hope nothing really bad happens”

Iron winces at hearing the loss of her home.
"I understand your fears, but I would believe the crackdown on crime will be on hold for a long while, especially since they know those cowards were trying to cause trouble. That should leave you with a long time to plan for a new home to go for."

>>93786
Woah.
Well, rolling it down the stairs would be a little awkward, the hall way there is narrow, and bringing in through the doorways into the catacombs would require a mover’s skill, but it looks possible
>>93785
He can see her in there, with numerous papers scattered about her. Some look like paperwork, and some belong to faxed, yellowed, and ripped notebooks

Silver does not want to do this too many more times, with only a limited time frame and a damaged saddlebag. Summoning form the master finagler inside of him, he attempts to bring the cart back with him inside the catacombs.

It makes a concerning sound as it goes down the stairs, it touches the walls more than a couple times as it scrapes the wall, and needs to be wiggled through the door from the side hallway into the main catacomb hallway. At least it can manuever - sort of - inside the catacomb main hallway
Also, roll die

"You will probably have to move to another city when the crackdown happens, right? I was thinking of looking for another place to stay before that time comes."
He scratches the back of his head, visibly nervous.
"Failing that, I do have a last resort that could solve your problems with the law, but it is going to be a tough change of lifestyle to adapt to."

“That depends on how they handle it. The local police and politicians have historically been fairly willing to take bribes, at least where the crimes involved didn’t really seem too bad. With the Black Briar Massacre, they are under more pressure. The Black Hooves tend to rotate out foreign soldiers, and send them in larger groups where an individual could not be bribed. That makes it more difficult. And of course if they take a page from the Manehattan crackdown, police and politicians who accept bribes will be treated worse than the syndicates”

Iron is not liking the odds if his grimace is any indication.
"I find it hard to give out solutions without compromising the gang in some way if the previous answers are not possible."
He rests his head onto the sofa, somewhat frustrated at his lack of options to help Cauldron.
"Sorry if my mind cannot come up with solutions right now. You can always count on me if you need some protection or distraction from the cops, though."
He weakly smiles at her, albeit a little forced due to how little he helped in quelling her fears.

>>93813
She tilts her head, and an ear falls down.
“I think it’s called ‘surrealism’ and ‘neo-expressionism’... it’s a more symbolic style of painting. Like he has a painting of the forest, but it shows the connection of zebra to nature. And he also has this painting of the bombing of Baltimare, which shows the horror of it. I think that’s Moselle can off of the famous ‘marenica’ by Peacocko. He takes quite a bit from foreign painters he has been studying”

Silver's story is that Blue is just that good with her muscle control, and he's sticking to it. At least in his mind.
He's starting to think he severely underestimated the number of books here, as he watches as his cart rapidly fills up with old tomes books.

Now that's the kind of explanation even Blue Skies herself might be persuaded of
It does indeed look like there are many books in this library, even if some shelf spaces were empty to begin with
>>93818
"Yes, I do. Even if I do not understand it. He takes a more literal approach to the material than the painters he takes inspiration from. In the bombing picture, for instance, I think he makes good use of reds and yellows."
>>93816
"Oh, about the Blackhooves and their presence in Equestria. He is especially skeptical of their commitment to to fighting against the changelings"

He nods at how pleasing to the eye this room is. It reminds him of an actual palm tree with its hearts of palm in full bloom, ripe for tasting.
"Is this your room, Cauldron?" He yells at the living room.
With that, he closes the painting, ready to see its contents.

It's probably worth mentioning that she goes into the room before he does, standing to his left, deeper into the room
She looks at him, straight in the eyes, and says
"Why yes. Yes it is"
And now for the actual painting. It seems to be a sort of image of a pond with some sort of fancy building in the back ground, and a few zebras and trees in the foreground
To be a bit more descriptive, to the right of the foreground are leafy deciduous trees. The painter did not try to detail every leaf, as the trees themselves seem almost blured, blending in three different varieties of green. In the foreground, likewise, is the small lake, with various blues mixed in, with realism once again not being the main focus. There are several of what seem to be lilies, frogs, and koi in the pond, judging by scattered greens and oranges. Zebras along the grass to the left of the pond are a bit more detailed, and they seem to be wearing white drape-like clothing with golden trim. Some have fancy collars. Further in the back is a building that seems to be a few stories talk, with a tan or golden color brick exterior, and a small "tower" perhaps four stories tall on the left side of this building. The roof is vaulted with red brick.

Oh whoops. Well, just pretend he only said it to her. Sneaky zebra that she disappears from sight.
Iron is agape at the sight. In his primitive mind, nothing comes close to the feeling of recognizing the objects in question, even with the slight artist liberties. He comes closer to the painting still, admiring the blur effect on the leaves and the clothing of the zebras as if he discovered that he was blind the whole time and this paining opened his eyes to true reality.
"Gods. How can ponies be able to draw like this? This painting is so," he struggles somewhat to explain himself "real yet not. Is this what 'suh-ree-alism' is?"

"Surrealist? This painting isn't quite surrealist. It's an older one of his. The style he was going for was more... I believe it's called, 'Impressionistic'? It's a bit more realistic of a style, but the point of the painting is to capture how the scene makes you feel, more so than the actual scene"
She looks at the painting
"This is supposed to be the pond in the capital at Obodo Mgbaba, back in the old Zebrican Empire. It was a pond an old emperor had installed. He'd place exotic fishes he received as gifts in it. After a while it was opened to the public. foreign dignitaries would visit it. I've never seen it. Neither has my brother actually, but he's heard the description from our father... and maybe seen a couple photographs. So he thought he would piece together an image based upon what he heard about this place that he had never seen before, but as if he had seen it"

"Amazing. I was not expecting such a good drawing."
He looks at Cauldron, his eyes showing a great deal of emotional high from seeing such painting skill.
"If Zebrica looks the same as this drawing, I would definitely visit there. Maybe I will try swimming there if there is no other option to go."

Dammit. Looks like he'll have to get more potions to finish this job off. He hopes to himself that he's got only two potions worth of work ahead of him, as he's only got enough money left for that many.
Still, as he looks at the book-laden cart, he's done quite a bit already, and that brings him a little satisfaction. Here is hoping it does the same for Blue. And, so he doesn't get himself eaten and disappoint Blue with his absence even further, he wastes no more time and makes his way back out of the catacombs, cart in tow.

Can he roll it without bumping into a ghoul and getting himself noticed? Can he work it around the corners without it getting stuck? Will it
break a wheel on a rock as he pulls it? Roll 3d20 to find out!
>>93841
She nods
"Maybe. If I had children, I think I would like to take them. I would also like to take them to see the grand palace in Canterlot. It's a shame the Princesses aren't there any more to be seen"

Hey, I just want to know, because I know what Silver's luck is with dice rolls, and this would be the time where Silver rolls three 1s in a row.

If he hurries his way back...
>>93857
She seems a little surprised
"Are you not familiar with Canterlot, the former capital of your own country?"
then she backs up a half step
"Well, yes. It is the city on the mountainsides where the princesses used to live"
>>93858
She smiles back with that grin of her own
"Why, so i can get even more love in return, of course"

Unlucky, sure, but fucking comedy gold.

Well, I suppose he would hurry, even if it's just to get this batch of books back to Blue that much faster. Highly doubt he would have any time left on his potion.

Iron shakes his head.
"The jungle is my home. I did not pay that much attention to the outside world until recently, even though there was basic history lessons when I was younger. I mainly just threw pebbles and stomped on leaves as the elders droned on about it."
He chuckles a little.
>>93860
Well, if they can't do the succ without making us completely apathetic, then it's gonna be very hard to do that.
>>93861
No, it was kinda disturbing. Reminds me when a cockroach entered my sleeves that one time. Disgusting. I even crushed it accidentally.

She looks at him, almost strangely, then after a moment, begins to nod while maintaining the expression
"I guess that would make sense, not living in a big city and all

Iron chuckles a little more.
"I know. It is kind of strange to see such a native that does not know pony history. Trust me, the leaf stomping routine paid off."
He jokingly pulls up one of his forelegs and flexes them for Cauldron to see peak body performance, stifling a giggle as he does it.
Silver got a spider on his eye. I had a roach go under my sleeves. Perfect logic.
>>93864
To be fair, I didn't feel that liquid roaches excrete when crushed. I mainly got a feel for it,
maybe did a little pressure that might've stained my long-sleeve shirt. Still disgusting.

Not really. This world doesn't have a direct parallel to Ashkenazim Jews, as there are is no international "nation within nations." I definitely did style a corrupt Griffin jeweler as Yiddish, but that was to fuck with Onyx and then you. While Griffins are known for being greedier and more despotic than ponies, in the mod they seem to more or less represent Western Europeans, whereas Ponies represent the Anglophone world and Eastern and South Eastern Europeans. If you are looking for a race that is parasitic and deceptive, and generally working to the subjugation of other races, that'd be the changelings, although they have nation states and generally prefer to operate from those is fairly conventional fashion.

>>93885
She pushes right back at him in the kiss, and places a hoof on his shoulder. It's a strong sensation, almost enough to send a chill down his back.

He raises a hoof.
"No disrespect to them. They are wise. It was just so boring to sit down and listen to them go on and on about their topic. I just wanted to run and play, maybe wrestle with other colts if I could."

Silver has decided that this makes for an extraordinarily good workout, if the large amount of sweat covering his body and staining the collar and pits of his uniform, and the intensity with which he's panting is anything to go by. At least the Grand Baltimare Hotel is finally within view.

She looks at him strangely, as if not able to get over her misunderstanding of SIlver’s motives
“Alright”
>>93977
She shifts around items in the kitchen, and occasionally glances back
“I’ve never been to Zebrica. The one right next to you is a Tenues Genere Ficus. It’s from the jungles down south. The East Forbidden, specifically. You need to be careful with those, as they are used to monsoon rains and long dry periods, so they will soak up water in summer but reject it in winter. The one in my room is a Magnum Palmam Folium. Those plants are from the Yucultan, also down south. They like it warm, but I keep my room warm anyways so it’s a living arrangement that sort of works out.”

For the record, I'm still having issues interpreting what jewgle is telling me that he's saying. Could you rephrase that, cuz the translation is hard to properly interpret
"They want us to accompany you through changing land and try to reach you with a queen"

>>93985
“Oh no, I’ve never been to the jungles. I bought these from various botanists. But I have been to the Hayseed forests and seen some of the plants there”
>>93983
She shrugs
“I guess you don’t need a chaperone, I just thought it would be nice”

Silver covers his mouth with a hoof to stifle some laughter. The face Blue makes when confused is both cute and funny to him.
His harness comes off with a click, allowing Silver to stretch out his limbs. "I would appreciate small break, yes, but it sounds like you two are on special occasion together. I will not get in way if Star does not want me along. I will be fine."

I...think I remember hearing her name, when all of that Sombra business was active, but I can not remember in what context."

"Hmm...what strange place Crystal Empire is." Silver continues working diligently.
>>94013
"You and I will have to agree to disagree, there. I heard he was evil tyrant who enslaved many crystal ponies in Old Crystal Empire, and drove many to death or insanity working in crystal mines. Or simple left them broken and hopeless. How some of those would return and then turn immediately to communism baffles me, though. It is like trading one set of shackles for another of different color."

After all, I can only wonder at what grand sights there are to behold in that corner of the world."
After a couple seconds of silence, Silver speaks up. "Hey...so...what would you both say, if...I said...I wanted to join Black Hooves?"

The result: Silver is indeed speaking the truth. He wants to help, even if it's by working for the Black Hooves directly, something which, a few days ago, he would never have seen himself saying, ever. He's tired of doing nothing, which if he admits to himself has been what he has been proposing all of this time. And, if she digs deep enough, there's a desire, planted there recently but before his arrival to Baltimare, to see his country reborn, and Harmony reformed into something that can stand up to the challenges of the modern day. He does not like what it's become, and wants to change it. Perhaps he will even believe it needs to be reformed into something that resembles Nationalism, if he could gather his thoughts about what needs to be done to it.

"Perhaps, but that should be last resort. Our greatest strength is our industry. It far outclasses Hegemony's, and if mobilization is too severe it will reduce our strength. I think it is best to reconcile with former members of Equestrian military, convince them that it is best to fight together instead of against one another to save their country. Their combat experience will be of use, both for direct combat and in training new soldiers."

"Definitely. Propaganda is key to wartime success at homefront. We also need to invest in ways to counter Hegemony's own strengths. Producing anti-tank and anti-air equipment locally and distributing them across all existing and newly-trained divisions would be excellent start. We should also produce tanks, tank destroyers, and MGMCs, and begin mixing armored corps with onwheels and mechanized corps.

So, I have given serious thought as to joining, and I wished to see what you two thought of this idea. After all, you are both my friends, and you are both Black Hooves already."

Silver is a little worried that they might have freaked Blue out too much with their talk of war. He gives her a pat on the shoulder, as it's the only place he can reach with Dark Star in the way. "I am sorry if we have disturbed you. It was never our intention." Silver continues working on moving books from the back of his cart to Blue's office. He changes the subject for her. "Blue, did they ever have anything like carnivals or fairs back in Nimbusia?"

Iron tries to sneak a peek under Cauldron's tail while she's preparing the food, laying down as low as possible, trying to get that perfect angle to see behind the hairy wall while at the rug.

After realizing that Iron cannot accomplish his task from the rug, he decides to walk over to the counter. His dick is losing its grasp on his mind.
(Would she be angry if I take a small peak under her tail? That sounds like it could cause turmoil that could open up that one wound on her pride I did a week ago.)
His hooves carry him closer to the counter, resting his head against it.
(She did try to give me a chance to start a relationship if her clarification of her capacity to maintain is any indication.)
He looks straight ahead, contemplating his life choices in his first week.
(With how my track record on successes is so far, maybe I could give it a chance. While I want to go back to my family and receive my father's heirloom, I also like Cauldron, and Ash is... not really interested in maintaining children if her talks about frugality is any indication. My path towards maturity is not as short as I had imagined.)
He hums a little bit.
(Should I just give it a chance? Am I really prepared to commit just to be with her?)
He glances at Cauldron as she makes her food. The dick's influence over Iron's mind long gone as little doubts spring across his consciousness.
(Can I really protect her? Be helpful to her apart from simple strength? Can I make her happy?)

While I want to go back to my family and receive my father's heirloom, I also like Cauldron, and Ash is... not really interested in maintaining children if her talks about frugality is any indication. My path towards maturity is not as short as I had imagined.)
He hums a little bit.
(Should I just give it a chance? Am I really prepared to commit just to be with her?)
He glances at Cauldron as she makes her food. The dick's influence over Iron's mind long gone as little doubts spring across his consciousness.
(Can I really protect her? Be helpful to her apart from simple strength? Can I make her happy?)

Dark stops hugging her and says
"im gonna go get some more books."
Then he walks down to the cart

She turns around and faces Iron
"It's almost ready" She says
>>94103
The books are sort of similar to the ones Skies rescued from the fire, although there are more of them. Some have names printed on them, some have nothing on their face
>>94104
Sure, let's go with that and not "GM can't write children"
"Kurz gesagt, Sie helfen uns, weil Sie hoffen, dass Wechselbalgs Ihnen helfen wird, ein krimineller Oberherr zu werden?"

"It could be nice. Some of the cliff faces were straight vertical, more than 500 feet. You could dive out over the ocean in some instances. You could also do the same from clouds, but I didn't really do that"

Iron perks his head up, hearing about food. A small smile forms.
"I cannot wait to see what you have cooked up."
He takes a big sniff, his worries slightly washing away.
(For now, get to know her better. She is a mare worth protecting. At least for now.)

Silver daydreams a little, about flying over the ocean blue. Would he trade in his horn for a pair of wings? Eh, probably not. But it's nice to imagine what it would be like sometimes.

"Okay, it's just about ready"
She pours the dish onto a few plates. It appears to be a rice based dish, with some vegetables and fruit
She walks right past Iron, into the living area, and pulls out a foldable table, which she unfolds in the living room. She walks back, and grabs some utensils
"Okay, I have your plate here" she says to Iron
>>94108
Kerr nods, and whether he believes or simply is pretending to, who can say?
I didn't know how else to show 'Kerr literally cannot comprehend altruism' except to have him constantly skeptical of Brie's claim that he is helping because he felt sorry for the drones
>>94109
On the plus side, Silver has found creative uses for his magic
>>94110
How drunk is he right now?

Iron follows Cauldron as she unfolds the table. He is stunned at this new tool he's seeing. His eyes widen and he points at the table.
"Where did that come from?"
Nevertheless, he comes closer to his plate and picks it up and sets it on the magical table that spawned from out of nowhere.
(It seems she is going to place all of it there if my logic is sound. I should also carry her plate to the table as well.)
With that, he walks back to the counter to do so.

>>94115
She laughs lightly
"It's a foldable table. I use it because I don't have room for a full-sized table"
She then comes up to a plate before Iron, and carefully points out the parts of the meal.
"I think it's similar to what you got at the restaurant a couple days ago. Jollof rice is the main dish, with pepper, tomato and onion. I also have some fried plantain on the side as well. And another thing, some fried yam."

"If you are offering." Silver takes it, takes a small swig, and gives it right back to Dark Star. "Ahh. Thank you. I needed that."

Iron carefully moves towards the table and pokes it.
"Strange. It seemed so small when had it on your hooves."
He nods as she explains the ingredients, drooling a bit.
"Wow. That sounds delicious."
He puts his face really close to the plate, sniffing deeply to catch the mixture of smells.
"What makes the rice 'joe-loft'?"

She doesn't laugh, but the statement does get a smile
"That's the region the dish comes from. You cook tomato, onion, an pepper, then you boil rice in the same pot in the liquid. I also usually add small amounts of ginger, as tonight"
Yes, he can smell the ginger, and the tomato, as well as the yam and plantain

He sighs in pleasure.
"Ah~ Now that is a good smell. You are an amazing cook, Cauldron. It is such a strange mix of ingredients that I would have never guessed fit together."
He looks up, smiling sheepishly at Cauldron by how entraced he was at the plate.
"Need any help moving the metal things?"
He sighs in pleasure.

"Thank you, I try" She smiles back at him, but it's not an amused smile, more of a proud smile
"You'd be amazed by what mixes well. Some strange ingredients can make powerful elixirs. And no, I can move metal things just fire. After all, I carry a tire iron for a living"
She sits down on the sofa next to the table
>>94128
She smiles back at him in her usual sort of way, and her tail briefly moves from one side to the other

"That is indeed true. You pack quite a punch. Your boops are unmatched as well as your crowbar."
Iron tries to figure out if he can sit next to Cauldron and eat there without some complicated table positioning.

He smiles at her proud demeanor.
"Now you have two irons."
A little snicker escapes his lips as he slides into the remaining space on the sofa.
"I sure need some repairs. Thankfully it is mostly automatic."
He looks towards the table, licking his lips at the anticipation of tasting Cauldron's hard work.

He is, indeed, a very lonely poner. Nothing he isn't used to, even if it's still fairly soul-crushing. Sigh...
Not like he can do much about it. Best to focus on his work, take his mind off of it.

Iron chuckles even harder at her sudden 180. After a few seconds, he composes himself, maintaining a smile.
"Sorry. I just could not help myself. It just presented itself."
He attempts to take a bite out of the food in front of him, still snickering at her reaction. Presumably.

As he chews on the food, he nods in approval. When he gulps the food, he hums in contentment.
"They taste as good as how they look."
He makes sure to put a bit of every ingredient together this time in order to taste every single one of them in conjunction as he approaches the plate to bite.
>>94140
You could try to talk to that one poner that greeted you and was very thankful for your contribution and was a cripple of sorts.

It's lit up, with attraction tents, the Ferris wheel, and yes, the roller coaster
"So you did visit these as a colt?" she asks
>>94145
Her eyes are partly closed, and she nods again in a "Damn right" fashion. Then, she takes a bite of her own food
The plantain and the yam don't exactly go together, in terms of texture
>>94144
Let's see. He's 68 already, hasn't seen or heard from his children in a very long time. He's been 28 years without female affection and the moment he seems to have found somepony she all but accuses him of sexually assaulting her....

Iron cocks his head at the texture mix.
(Odd, but acceptable.)
Gulping once more, he starts another small talk.
"You said your father was a sailor. What places did he go when he was younger?"
>>94147
Next time, try to bond with a stallion so you don't have the urge to fuck on your mind. Just two stallions enjoying the night, maybe talking about their lives.

I do. Never read it, but it was sure autistic from what I read in the posts.
Iron nods, then ask the typical question about any stallion from his point of view.
"So was he tough and strong? Could he picked your current weight up in his prime? Any sort of amazing feats of strength and endurance?"

He doesn't, because they've all left him. So, here he stands, alone, feeling the weight of everything collapsing in around him. The thought of his children is the only thing keeping him from breaking down right there, but even that is bittersweet. Even they have left him, even if they didn't mean to.
Silver Rain, Spectral Streak, White Light...wherever you are...if you are even still alive...know that your father is thinking of you...I am sorry...for everything...
He pulls out a few pictures of them from his bags, gently putting a hoof onto each one as he views them.
"I hope you are all alive, still. I hope against all odds, that I might see your faces again one day, and have chance to tell you how much you mean to me, and how much light you have given to my life..."
He sniffles. He starts thinking his vision must finally be going out, as everything in the pictures starts to look blurry to him.

She smiles in a partial laugh
"He was no weight lifter, no. But he was strong to me. Very strong. He made an honest living travelling on ships, settled in Baltimare with his wife because there were more opportunities here for his family, raised four foals, and set up a restaurant. I really haven't seen many stallions as strong as him, and I work with tough guys

Oh, wait. He's just teary-eyed. Sniff.
Silver wipes the tears from his face. He could really use somepony to talk to right now, but alas...
Come on...you still have work to do...help now, hurt later...
He puts the pictures back, and returns to his work. His steps are much slower, with little drive or effort behind them. The occasional teardrop finds its way down his cheek to wet the floor below him. Hurt later...

For real. It's kinda sad but expected for colts to move out of home. Aside from Silver's travelling job business.
>>94158
Iron nods in approval.
"He is very resourceful. A good trait for any stallion to have. Self-sacrificing too, it seems. He sounds like a cool father to be raised by."
(Hm. Maybe he could help me deal with this new world if Cauldron thinks he had it rough.)

Yep. Strange things. A dead tree with almost hands on its branches and what seems to be a face on it. A mermaid-like skeleton - a Siren? A changeling larva in a jar of industrial ethanol. A two headed Griffin? A moving rock inside of a jar. An orange in a jar that croaks like a frog

It's a small comfort, at least. Thinking about them is enough to keep him going. He has one last sniff before he returns to moving books, now at his normal pace. But he still does not seem in as high-spirits as he was when Star and Skies were with him, not at all. He still hurts inside, but...he'll have to hurt later, when there isn't anything else to do.

>>94173
Evidently keeping the remains of a corpse on display is acceptable. Or maybe it's just a very good model. Anyways, it's a black eagle griffin, with a smaller griffin head on it's left side. It's not as well formed as a full head, but it still looks much more developed than a parasitic twin would normally be expected to be
>>94176
And maybe he shouldn't be so reluctant to talk to Blue about his feelings

"Is there a sort of drought of stallions or is it just impossible to find a zebra that is available?"
After a bite and gulp of the magestic food, he shrugs.
"They do not know what they are missing."

If I can butt in, I can safely say that Skies needs more venting than Silver.
Iron nods.
"I understand."
He pokes his chin for a bit.
"Have you ever thought of just hooking up with a pony if you could never find a zebra here? It sounds really frustrating not to find your desired partner due to being stuck in this city."

Iron is slightly concerned, but feels lucky she has not seen any stallions so far.
(I wonder if she is a virgin too.)
"I see. To be fair, I was the eldest of my three, and I left the moment we all started thinking about what stallions and mares we like, so I cannot give you some info about their relationship status, sadly."
He scratches his head, smiling sheepishly.

Taking this quiet time from the conversation, he starts to really dig in to every single food item on the plate. It could be seen as slightly barbaric or primitive, but Iron does not care, as long as he doesn't mess up the room.

Iron pulls up from the plate to nod at her, a goofy smile on his face. His mouth is currently filled by the glorious food Cauldron has cooked. He never really had this sort of luxury before.

Iron coughs when the sudden meaning of her words were revealed to him. His eyes widen a bit and his member slowly erects itself to a half-chub from under him, causing some mild discomfort, which forces him to shuffle a bit in the couch.
"What 'something else' are we talking about?"

A broad, confident smile takes over her face, and she stands up at once straight, yet loose, in an almost seductive pose

If Iron's mind were a stream, then some beavers went and fucked with the flow. He is stunned by being unavailable to be sure if there is a hidden meaning behind those words that allows him to rut her.
"I am indeed hungry for more," he stammers out. "Surprise me, Cauldron."
The pose is not helping with the erection issue, increasing its progress into half-mast. Another shuffling is done to accomodate his growing length.

Well dang. The fact that you are still thinking about what to say puts me on edge. What will happen? Will she like the D being presented? Will she just ask about the D's reason to erect itself? All I know is that Iron could probably be fucked out of luck if she is still sore from last week and still thinks he just sees Cauldron as only a plaything.

The second part of him is slightly bummed out that she actually did not mean what he interpreted and the third one does not know what to do with his now fully erected dick.
(I guess there is no real issue if she sees it. Just act cool and if she asks, tell her that you just are a horny stallion sometimes.)

Another episode of "Things that Never Were"
The first is Ash and the polluted field. In that scene, Ash comes upon a field of vegetables that are hardly growing. She quickly discovers that the field is probably not doing so well because the soil is too Alkaline. Immediately after typing that, I had a story in my mind: the field was too alkaline because somepony had been burying dead bodies in the field, and covering them in lime - a very alkaline substance - to try to degrade and decompose them. This would immediately suggest a serial killer, or at least a single murder, or maybe a number of deaths do to negligent handling of a disease outbreak, or something. While I liked this idea, I knew it would immediately become extremely serious and would overshadow almost anything else, and would require a mystery to be set up, which I had no real plans for. The alternative, that it was the result of a typhus outbreak or something, could make the orphanage look worse than I was wanting to portray them at that time. Still another option was to make it be a mass grave from the war, although that might call into question how ethical the Blackhooves were with POWs and civilians, and given that they were and are the protagonists, they needed to be more likable. The plan I eventually went with was a call back to a line spoken by a nun many threads before, where she said the other property was "sold to a paper company." So I figured I would look up methods of paper manufacture, and sure enough, the Kraft Process of a paper pulping makes use of Lye, which is extremely basic. That particular process became very popular around 1940 as a way of recycling the "white liquor" became available. Thus, the quest became about pollution from a paper mill, rather than the original plan.
The second one is Silver's Dreams. The first dream I had for him, the "sepia tone" dream during the period that he was asleep was inspired by a film clip of the coronation of King George V in 1910, which almost eerily showed Kaiser Wilhelm II, Tsar Alexander I, and I believe even Fraz Joseph attending the coronation together, just a few years before World War 1 and the Russian Revolution. Of course Silver's player freaked out at the proposition of his character sleeping at that time because of fear of being abducted by changelings, so I had to cut it short. Silver's player inexplicably entirely lost his fear of changelings the next time he started to sleep...
The second dream sequence, which was also cut short, featured Silver having a picnic with his long dead wife and separated children. I had intended the song "And the Band Played On" to play in the background, or at least, o have it's lyrics come through, as Storm Warning was described as feeling strange upon contact. The song "And the Band Played On" is a jovial sounding song from 1895, which was to represent a feeling of Nostalgia. The "Gay 90's" as they were then called, or the period of the 1890s, was the typical subject of Nostalgia round about the 1940s, as the Gay 90's were thought to be a simpler, innocent era, before the horrors of the World Wars and Great Depression. The fact that the only recording of "And the Band Played On" I can find original on Youtube is from 1941 shows how that song figured into nostalgia in the 1940s. Meanwhile, Storm Warning was supposed to be described as feeling unusual, as she would feel more or less the same as Blue Skies - who Silver was in physical contact with as he was sleeping. Of course, Silver never tried to hug Storm Warning, and I had to cut the whole thing short, so all that was abandoned.

Let's do another one, Iron's First Nightmare. The idea of Iron being raped by a large diamond dog was not supposed to be a serious proposition, but rather just a threat to stop doing whatever it was that was pissing me off at the time. But then it was taken seriously, so I figured I would have to either go with it, or explicitly back out, so I went with it. I had a very clear idea of what was going on in the scene. Black Cauldron was still very pissed off at Iron disrespecting her, so she followed him to the orphanage, brought along a large, burly Diamond Dog who was described as present in the bar scene earlier, used her knowledge of potions and plants to place a paralyzing potion on Iron, then Iron is raped by the Diamond Dog as Cauldron stands and watches in the corner of the room and Iron is conscious, but paralyzed and dizzy. Of course, this would have the unfortunate side effect of making Cauldron definitively hostile to Iron from that point forward, which I didn't really want. So I thought of two other possibilities, then rolled the dice to see which I would go with. The first was a classical Incubus demon appearing at night and raping Iron. After all, it's a fantasy setting, so why not introduce a demon in the nunnery? (Although the role of "Incubus" feels kind of redundant with Changelings around). The third option, and the one that won the die roll was Sleep Paralysis. That worked really well because it's about as horrifying an experience as you can imagine while sleeping, but something so entirely mundane that it actually happens to about 50% of people at some point in their lives. You see an intruder or two enter the room. Then you feel something above you, crushing you. In a large portion of instances, you feel sexually violated (Which I think is a product of the fact that sexual stimulation is a natural part of the REM sleep cycle). You can hear talking, droning, or humming. But though you are aware and can see, you cannot move. All of it worked to produce pretty much the same scene as if Iron were being attacked in the night by a pissed off rogue or an incubus demon. I was intending to make the nature of teh experience a mystery, and maybe Iron would wake up the next morning and ask the nuns what happened to him, and they would all give basically these three answers above, and he would have to try to solve it. But then someone complained about the scene, and I had to spoil it, which just ripped out the mystery.
I really like how in a fantasy setting like this, many experiences could be either magical or mundane. Is it sleep paralysis or a demon? Who know.
>>94411
It was kind of disheartening to see the drastic villian decay of teh changelings after the introduction of the two non-hostile drone characters. They had gone from being so incredibly threatening that you were afraid to have your character go to sleep during daylight hours to "I'm pretty sure Blue is feeding off of my character right now" and then cuddling up with the two drones later in the night, after just a few sessions. They went from being terrifying villains to basically domesticated animals or even living Dakimakura. Makes me wonder

I like Cauldron and the gang storypath for Iron.
Dislikes are directly dealing in diplomatic meetings or other talking stuff to do peace since Iron doesn't have the charisma for it.
I want more... whatever you're planning.

I would have to think on it some, but it would be nice to see a little bit of public Restorationist presence. It would probably be minor compared to the Communists and Black Hooves. Some ponies turning to Celestia worship in this time of crisis, the occasional public speaker talking about the Equestrian identity, events of that nature until the militias and resistance groups come out of the jungles and start to take the fight to the Black Hooves. I don't know, it just seems odd that the only ponies who are publicly upset about the occupation of Equestria are Communists.

I dunno. I suppose fighting these ghasts feels like a chore, as the reward for fighting them so far seems not worth the hassle or difficulty of clearing them from the catacombs and quarry. Silver's going to get 4,000 Bits out of this job Blue's given him (maybe more hopefully if Blue is feeling generous, since collecting the books from the library wasn't part of the deal), but other than that there's been a distinct lack of loot.
I'd also ask about something a certain character said vs. what they did, but having someone here who would take offense to the subject even having been brought up, it might be best to keep it to myself

You said there hasn't been enough loot, specifically with reference to the catacombs venture. Traditionally, weapons would be the normal loot, but I am afraid that giving anything too powerful would upset the balance. So I was thinking of creative forms of loot, like an Automobile

Not...really?

I do have to admit that something of that nature would be creative, even if I don't know much on how that would come to be loot. Would any of our characters even begin to know how to drive, though? Silver might, if it wasn't too much of a stretch of the imagination to believe he picked up a couple things about driving during the War.

When literally everyone and their mothers seems to think that Silver and Blue just sharing a friendly moment together = they're going to bang, it's going to turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy. Do I like that it happened? No. If I had a second chance would I have not done so? No. But, it did happen, and time travel isn't a thing, so I just have to deal with it and deal with the consequences.
IC, though, I honestly can't tell you. You would have to ask Silver, yourself.

So, this seems like the perfect time to ask a couple of meta questions since nothing else is going on:
First, how exactly do SMGs and other fully automatic weapon work in combat in this game? I've seen them used only once before, and it just absolutely confused the hell out of me.
Second, when New Mareland invaded, did they invade near Manehattan at all? Was there any fighting up in that part of Equestria?

I also have a question. Am I gonna have to role-play the whole train ride, or can we just skip that?
>>94484
If I can skip dancing salsa with Cauldron in order not to dance for all the thing trying to think how to dance swing while not knowing how that works, then you can skip a train ride too.
Just ask the other two if they want to do that before you try, or else you'll get stuck in limbo again.

Well, I was going to have events take place during the train ride, but I guess we could just skip to the next morning. The only issue is that time has not yet skipped to the next morning for the others, so at some point the times will have sinc up. Maybe Brie just has a very long next day or the others skip the morning, I don’t know.
>>94483
I am not answering the SMG thing, but I’ll answer the Manehattan question. When trying to do this in Hoi4, Manehattan is sometimes so poorly defended that you could attempt to invade it directly, but it’s not worth the risk, as the Equestrian navy will definitely be stronger than yours, so your only real way of conducting a naval invasion is by going around it, up north around Albion and Prance, since those are much less likely to provoke a naval response. Then, you fight your way south. Manehattan will always need to be taken, sometimes more than once if you sprint for it, then Equestria does an effective counter attack. The biggest part of fighting on the Eastern Front will always be in the North, north of Manehattan and south of Stalliongrad, as that is where you will have to break the back of the Equestrian army. You can also have a second front down south using Saltmane, although that front is likely to be stale and an attrition that’s. Now that Stalkiongrad ALWAYS joins the fight on the side of Equestria no matter what, I think anything other than putting all divisions into the north is no longer possible

I don't mind events, I just don't want to be sitting around waiting to see if the Lings are done looking at things. I mean we can have conversations as necessary and at leisure, but we've explored the train and outside venturing out to get a bite (and perhaps a victim) I don't want to be waiting for someone to say something because the Lings have already answered all my important questions. If they have questions or input I'm all ears, but for now I'm waiting for things to happen rather than being proactive in making things happen.

I suppose because no PC can use an SMG yet.
Or maybe he still needs to think about it.
You can't stop me!
Unless you can somehow spray me with water,
then I might.

Alright, right now I have semi-fleshed out in my mind two scenarios involving the drones, one involving a passenger on the train, two involving external threats on the train, and one should characters get off the train too early, which don’t require the player to be proactive. So I’ll do one of those when I become I lazy enough to start the game again.

Alright, right now I have semi-fleshed out in my mind two scenarios involving the drones, one involving a passenger on the train, two involving external threats on the train, and one should characters get off the train too early, which don’t require the player to be proactive. So I’ll do one of those when I become I lazy enough to start the game again.

For a Changeling, sex with a pony is just what is known in biology as “aggressive mimicry.” It’s a predatory behavior that has no other purpose than to elicit tasty romantic love from the host. They are just fine being loved with no sex

I would agree with you, except Brie explicitly stated that, due to his character's mental issues, he can't give out love.Maybe it's joek, but I'll take it seriously for now.
You know what this call for, then?

Remember that Iron already visited some buildings that she goes, like the restaurant, that bar with the fight club in it and The Watering Hole, aside from the Jungle Express.

Everyone else is asleep, and I should probably get there, myself, but since I was gone playing Dragon's Dogma for all this time I might as well answer before I, too, hit the hay.
If Blue wasn't already in a relationship with Star? Definitely.

A slight correction to my answer since I realized that brain don't do words good: he would want to possess her regardless of whether she's with Dark Star or not, but he won't try to (at least, not anymore) while Star currently possesses her.

Well then. Expect a changeling disguised as Blue Skies to arrive at your door for some hot pony on changeling action.
Maybe Storm if you'd like to relive old memories.

For fuck's sake, I don't know what else to tell you. I am absolutely shit at explaining things and using words and everything related to language, English, or logic, so I can't reasonably explain anything OOC even in the best of days, and it pisses me the fuck off because I fucking hate it when I stumble over my own words and make other people pissed off because of it. It's especially bad right at this moment as this feels like an off day, so I would very much appreciate it if you took what I've said with a grain of salt. A heavy grain of salt. If you truly want to see whether Silver would or not, then just wait for an opportunity IC. But right now, probably not going to happen, because it's obvious I need to stay as far away as I fucking can from anything like a keyboard for today.

If the receiver confronts you, a discussion and eventual blooshed may happen if it goes poorly.

Cauldron can hear the heavy clops of an excitable stallion pounding at the floor still. He is really eager to move out.

A little chuckles escapes him.

Silver can find, scrimmaging through Blue's cabinets, one smallish pan with curled up and tall sides. There is also only one gas stove bed. This is, after all, a hotel room, not an apartment, and so there is a limited variety of cooking materials available. It also appears as if Blue has never used this pan. Or at least, if she has, she made sure to place it back deep inside the cabinet, which is much tidier than the rest of her room would imply she normally is.

Well, he might as well should sit down. It's gonna be a bit. His mind is allowed to wander some while he waits. And the first subject it touches is this job he's been given by Blue.
This mission is...surprisingly hazardous, now that he thinks on it, not that it'll deter him from seeing it through. One wrong move, one second too long spent in those catacombs, one ghast bumping into either him or his cart...and he's done for. Silver touches the bandages wrapped around his neck, the brief bit of pain from the contact causing him to withdraw his hoof with a sharp gasp. It's most definitely not healed yet. Not for a while. He lost a lot of blood, too, in between getting injured and fixing himself up. If he has to fight even a single ghast...well, he might end up reuniting with Storm, after all, along with whoever else is dead in his family. It's not like he fears dying in and of itself: he's lived his life well. But...all of those regrets, those words left unspoken? Rest in the afterlife will seem such a difficult goal to reach, should he perish before settling things in life. He wonders if anypony will bother to look for him in the catacombs, if he dies on this mission, or if his body even be found in the first place.
Sigh...
Once again, he pulls out the pictures of his old family he managed to save. He touches them with a forehoof, placing it over the ponies they hold. Those he has and continues to care about. In particular, he focuses on those of his three foals: Silver Rain, Spectral Streak, and White Light. It's been years since he's seen any of them. He hasn't seen Rain since he turned 18. And while Spec and White would send the occasional letter, their work has kept them from visiting, not since the last time in 1000, to celebrate the new millennium. He still doesn't blame them for it, but it doesn't change that fact that he misses them. He wants to make peace with them, and tell them all he wants to say, while he still has the chance. Please, Celestia, let them be alright...see me through this, so that I might reunite with them someday...please...
He looks back into the pocket that contained the photos, at the last item he's kept in there. A letter from Silver Rain, one of the few things he recovered from his home before he made the trek to Baltimare. He's read it before a couple of times, and while he wishes to read it again, while he feels it's almost his duty to read it again...he's not sure he wants to hurt like he did when he read it previously.

This mission is...surprisingly hazardous, now that he thinks on it, not that it'll deter him from seeing it through. One wrong move, one second too long spent in those catacombs, one ghast bumping into either him or his cart...and he's done for. Silver touches the bandages wrapped around his neck, the brief bit of pain from the contact causing him to withdraw his hoof with a sharp gasp. It's most definitely not healed yet. Not for a while. He lost a lot of blood, too, in between getting injured and fixing himself up. If he has to fight even a single ghast...well, he might end up reuniting with Storm, after all, along with whoever else is dead in his family. It's not like he fears dying in and of itself: he's lived his life well. But...all of those regrets, those words left unspoken? Rest in the afterlife will seem such a difficult goal to reach, should he perish before settling things in life. He wonders if anypony will bother to look for him in the catacombs, if he dies on this mission, or if his body even be found in the first place.
Sigh...
Once again, he pulls out the pictures of his old family he managed to save. He touches them with a forehoof, placing it over the ponies they hold. Those he has and continues to care about. In particular, he focuses on those of his three foals: Silver Rain, Spectral Streak, and White Light. It's been years since he's seen any of them. He hasn't seen Rain since he turned 18. And while Spec and White would send the occasional letter, their work has kept them from visiting, not since the last time in 1000, to celebrate the new millennium. He still doesn't blame them for it, but it doesn't change that fact that he misses them. He wants to make peace with them, and tell them all he wants to say, while he still has the chance. Please, Celestia, let them be alright...see me through this, so that I might reunite with them someday...please...
He looks back into the pocket that contained the photos, at the last item he's kept in there. A letter from Silver Rain, one of the few things he recovered from his home before he made the trek to Baltimare. He's read it before a couple of times, and while he wishes to read it again, while he feels it's almost his duty to read it again...he's not sure he wants to hurt like he did when he read it previously.

"I want to spend the excess energy from our dancing session, as well as give out a little tour of any sort of spots you like around here. Simple things like restaurants to more... secret places like that one pony that treated my wounds after our first job."

There's a slight sound of a commerical something droning down stairs - probably a refrigeration unit - but it's basically quiet, and rather chilly too.
Blue Skies is kind of messy in the room, come to think of it, with items still spread as they were before

Like before, it seems very much like Blue Skies in this room. Best not to do anything about it, no matter how much he might want to. Blue probably has some sort of system going on here, even if everything seems messy. Best to keep it that way until he hears otherwise.
He pulls the letter out, not yet opening it for the mental debate raging on in his mind. He does note how he always has thought it weird that Rain managed to find a place to both live and work on the Las Pegasus Strip. He's heard it's rather...unorthodox work, but work nonetheless.

He simply trots alongside her.
"I see. It sounds like a chaotic place to live if the need to secure your belongings is any indication. You do not have to deal with that kind of stuff, do you?"

Silver looks to the date on the letter, marking when Rain sent it off. Exactly one day before the start of the Great War. A cruel irony, when he thinks to what the letter contains.
Not exactly sure what your start date to the Great War is. Also, not entirely sure what you're referring to when you're talking about Gladmane and Flim Flam. Mind filling me in real quick, in case it has any bearing on the letter's contents, or Rain's backstory?

>>94664
She points them out quickly enough
"[x guy] owns that mechanics shop, he's in the gang. That flowershop is where a dog was killed the other day. That was actually the dog that was supposed to accompany you the first night, but they sent me in instead"

As he trots along, he tilts his head a bit.
"Wait, I was supposed to work with a dog? They did not tell me that information. Strange."
He smiles as he looks forward.
"I am glad there was a change of plans. You were a lifesaver when those cops showed up."
(Although I am not sure what consequences other than failing the mission would they dish out.)

"A diamond dog"
The looks ahead, and trots over towards an even more commercial area. Shops, restaurants"
"[x] owns that place. [y] can be found around there. That's actually a brothel if you go upstairs. That bar has a nice enough atmosphere, which is hard to find in this area, but their drinks are over priced"

Iron's mind clicks.
"Oh! Right. I met one of them back at Willowbrooks' bar. She was nice."
I have no clue if normal dogs exist in here, but there was that one dog Applejack owned...
He nods along.
"What is a 'bruh-dell'?"

Has Ash been forgotten already? She had that large Siberian husky, 'Caleb'
"A business establishment where you can pay to have sex with mares. It's not exactly legal, so it's normally styled as being a sort of bar"

Whoops. Right. I forgot about that dog. Sorry Ash if I offended you and you're lurking here for some reason.
Iron widens his eyes, shocked at this revelation. His breathing is slightly interrupted and his pace slackens a bit. He recovers in a span of a second though.
"Huh. I never thought something like that would exist ever. I suppose they are either too into it or just need money."
(The latter sounds like a lame excuse. Just get a stallion to give you what you need.)

He nods yet again. He doesn't want to delve too deep into this for now. He does not have the capacity to help all ponies in here unless he had some sort of inmense wealth and extreme guidance. That would surely make him look prestigious.
He awaits the next destination as he nods to himself.

She continues, and they walk down to an area that is more run down, and sort of industrial. There are large warehouses next to cluttered shops next to what seem to be very old buildings.
“This is the seaport area, by the waterfront. It includes old Baltimare. There are more non-ponies here, especially Griffins. This is also where we trade many of our goods.”
Iron can see where he once traded in the gold bars as he passes by

"So this is the place where I bullied a capo that one time."
He contemplates the scene as he trots alongside Cauldron.
"An odd-looking place. They have those giant metal things floating on the water. Reminds me of canoe, just big and imposing."

The building to the right is a tall, grey church. Or so it seems to be. There’s a tower to it and a boarded up top floor. To the right is a two story building that seems to have been a hotel at one point, but has since closed down. Next to the church is a tenement building. It is very dark

Some intense thinking sessions they're having. Silver is likely still thinking. Star is most likely kill.

>>94663
With another sigh, he opens the letter. Silver mentally prepares himself for what's to come, though he knows deep inside that it will do nothing to help.
The letter reads as follows:
"Hey Dad,
"It's been a while, huh? 20 years? Something around that? I bet you're thinking, 'Who is this asshat who takes 20 years to write home?'. Well, it's me. Rain. Yeah, I know I'm a little late, and I'm sorry. You know, about...all of that. I'm gonna get to that, I promise, it's just...I've had to rewrite this like six times, now, and every time I've thrown it out because I keep on ranting. Well, screw that jazz. I'm not rewriting this a seventh time, so if I rant, maybe it's just because I feel like I need to.
"Anyways, onto the actual letter part of this. I've been having trouble trying to come up with things to write. I'm not as good as either Spec or White with this sort of thing. I'm a good speaker, not a good writer. Oh, uh, speaking of, I met up with lil' Spec and White not too long ago. Maybe a couple months have passed since then. They're doing well, they said. They also said they were happy to see me, it had been so long. We talked about some things. You, uh...you should have been there. You probably would have been, if it wasn't just a thing that happened with no prior warning. Again, sorry about that. Anyways, it's nice to see Spec likes it in the military. To hear him talk about his company, you'd almost believe he and his Hengstwolves could fight off Chrysalis's forces single-hoofedly, even if they are still just one recon company out of hundreds. I guess they are being, or already have been at this point, I guess, redeployed to the Changeling border, up near Vanhoover. He didn't seem worried about it, like he thinks it's inevitable that we'll 'beat the bugs back to the Olenian Ocean'. I wish I had his optimism.
"And White, she hasn't changed a bit: she's still that book-lovin' egghead we all know and love. Well, she might have changed a little. Looks like a little of Spec's joker side has rubbed off on her, or a little bit of his charisma. It's nice to see they remained close after they left home. Might even be their time apart has made their bond stronger. Anyways, she's doing well, too, if a little worried about the whole Changeling situation. I'm not sure if she's worried for herself, Equestria, or Spec being on the frontlines, though. I asked her about what the government's got her doing now, and all she said was 'Oh, you know, stuff. Stuff and things.'. She did say she's barely spending any time at the Mages Guild or Celestia's School, anymore, now that she's been fully committed to the Princesses' research efforts. I guess she can't actually say anything about what they're doing, but I've got some sources that have said some pretty crazy things. Things like a new model of magic rifle to replace the old Luna Nova, new spellbooks for military use, dark and mysterious magics from ancient times. Hell, I even had one say that they're working on 'splitting the atom', whatever that means. Sounds crazy, right?
"Right, ranting again. Sorry. Anyways, they said that you had mentioned me in your letters to them, asking how I was doing. It sounded like you were worried about me, and that you wanted to see me sometime. So, about the reason I'm writing...Dad, I just...wanted to say I'm sorry, for...everything. The terms on which I left by were not the greatest, I'll admit. And...it's not right, how I haven't tried to contact you until now. When Mom died...when I saw Mom, you know, get murdered like that...it changed me. I was weak, and I just couldn't handle it, and I let it change how I thought of the ponies around me. I even blamed you, at one point in my younger life, for her death. It was stupid of me I've since realized. And since, I've been just as stupid in how I've been living. I'm not always proud of the stallion I've become, and the things I've done. You'd be ashamed of me, I bet, just as I'm ashamed in myself. These past few years I've really come to regret those decisions, and it's only gotten worse every day I've been livin' on. And with this whole thing, this threat of war looming over us all...and knowing you'll be out there, risking your life to help Equestria...fearing that you'll...die...I feel like I don't have much time left to...to make things right. There's a lot I need to get off my chest. And so, I'm writing this letter, to tell you...
"I want to get to know my Dad again.
"Look, you can come down to Las Pegasus. I'll set you up with the swankiest room in the whole city, and with the all-expenses-paid Las Pegasus experience! It'll be fun, I swear! I'll even introduce you to a couple of mares I know who would definitely want to make use of your particular experience. But...most of all...I want us to be able to talk, say the things we want to say. You know, before this whole war comes, and...well, you know. Please, just...think about? For whatever we once had, and what I hope we could recover one day.
"Anyways, the Boss just came in, said there's a line forming of customers who are wanting my services. I guess I gotta wrap this up. I hope to hear from you soon."
-Always, your son, Silver Rain

But alas, he has nopony to comfort him. Silver is, as he has been for most of the past 14 years, all alone. He is slightly worried for a second that the room around him is flooding before he realizes that, like before, it's just his eyes filling with tears. Oh Rain...I'm so sorry...for everything... He hugs the letter close to him, for now the only connection he has left to his beloved son, his firstborn.
It's difficult, believe you-me. I'm trying my hardest.

Because Rain is a good speaker, not a good writer, so he wrote it like he was speaking to somepony.
Also because I'm shit at writing letters, but that's beside the point.
>>94705
He sniffles and wipes his eyes as he goes to check on the beans. He also sets Rain's letter aside, not wanting to take the chance of anything bad happening to it. Why must this world be so cold at times? So cruel?
The small part of him that, through this deep well of sadness, remembers that Brie took the drones somewhere tells Silver that it is just maybe a good idea to let Blue know, since this would certainly be of interest to her to know.

The only thing you need to improve is maybe just deleting elypses (...) and stutters, replacing them with crossed lines of text to show noviceness if you want to. Pretend you have all the time in the world to type to successfully write a letter and you shall succeed.
I might have to prove that, but Iron does not have any relatives that could send him letters.

Skies may be experiencing the ultimate dream of DP with both S PCs. Harmonic love triangle reaching the most raunchy conclusion.

Fugging while walking outside would be rather hard.
Although she played a little dress up with Iron when she warned him about weather.
I should probably make Iron ask about it when they go back. She might tell a little folklore story or something along those lines from the clothing.

Thinking on what Iron's player said before, imagine how messed up an Alicorn Silver, Star, and Skies would make? We have a Unicorn who can barely use magic but has almost Earth Pony strength, an Earth Pony who lacks strength but has a Pegasus's speed and dexterity, and a Pegasus who can't manipulate weather but is smarter than most Unicorns.

You're right! It's the ultimate freak of nature but together, they will create the perfect freak of nature.
Not because of simplistic species abilities, but through friendship and magic!

A look of Pain washes over dark star's face as he relives the traumatic memory
"It was a Dark night,And we were off to the Griffin Ghetto like usual. we had just passed the merchant area when mom says "come on honey,lets take a shortcut home,your brother will be worried if we are late." so she ushers us Through an empty parking lot. as we are walking through, i hear the sounds of wings flapping and something landing behind us.So mom turns around to greet whoever it was. and when we turned around we saw a mountain of a griffin. he was Black with red accents on his wings,an eye-patch,a chipped beak and he was covered in scars.my mom greeted him like her usual Bubbly self, but he wasnt there to make friends.He said "Give me the Colt and you get to keep your life bitch." Needless to Say my mom wasn't to pleased to her a griffin say that. "How Dare you! my Son will Be going no where with you! and please Refrain from using Profanity."
Dark star pulls out a picture and strokes it
"After that he pulled out a Freakishly Large sword. I'll Never Forget what he said after that. "If you Don't Give him to me right now whore this is going inside you and then him." he grabbed at his crotch as he said it "and when i'm finished with you and him. he will be sold to a very wealthy pony." "She stood there for a Second Flabbergasted before putting herself directly in front of me."
Dark Star's winces and his Face contorts after talking about this part
"She was never a fighter.but that night she fought with all of her might. the fight went on for what seemed like forever. i stood there paralyzed, Hoping it was all a bad dream and it wasn't really happening. and as it looked like she might be victorious He came down on here with a powerful swing,one that made her body Crumble into a heap of Blood. leaving her body broken."
Dark Star begins to cry as he is reliving this part of the story.
"He stood over her with his broken beak contorted into a sick Smile. with all the stregth she had left Bellowed out "Run Darkie,Run as fast as you can and hide like mommy taught you! i love y-" After that she was Cut of by the sickening thud of his clawed boot repeatedly stomping on her head"
"I am Extremely Ashamed of what i did next,i listened to my mother and i ran. I Bucking ran like a frighted little filly. i'm Absolutely disgusting. i left my own Mother to her Death simply because i was afraid. i was afraid of what that bastard would do to me. i wish i would have stayed and fought to protect my mother. i'm the worst son imaginable." "But when i looked back i wasn't alone like i thought i would be. He was Right behind me with that Bucking sick Smile on his face.i can still see it every time i close my eyes. "I'm Cumming for you Little Filly." he sneered at me. unfortunately i had a full bladder at the time,and..."
Dark star Sighs at the memory
"i'm lucky that mom was right about the shortcut. because as i rounded the corner of the alleyway i was running through i saw that i was about 30 steps from the Grand Baltimare hotel. Scar didn't care where we were though. he kept chasing me, so i ran inside and started screaming at the top of my lungs for help.luckily that there was staff on duty that night because when i looked back at the glass door i waled through i saw Scar turning Around And running down the same alley he chased me down. After that i dont remember much about what happend. what i do remember is getting a ride Back to the farm with the police officers that came when the deskpony called them."

It was a little bit of both, Silver thinks back. They often shared in the work, usually drawing straws or a raffle to determine who got what chores, sometimes even racing against one another to see who could get their chores done first. He laughs a little, a few cracks showing up in his emotionless robot routine, as he imagines that something of this nature would be appalling to those that grew up in "normal", traditional households. Something neither Silver nor Storm experienced.
