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

>>93507"I don't mean to be intrusive... but I was curious. You are skilled with a halberd, but that is not really what I picture a soldier using most often. How did you come to be so skilled with that weapon as opposed to a gun?"
>>93506Two little colts block ur path
>>93507Just let that lonesome whistle blow his blues away
>>93504“Why would changelings do it?”
>>93509"eh? where did you 2 come from?"
>>93510They don’t respond. Each looks at him sternly. Then, they erupt into green flame, revealing chitinous black creatures with pure blue eyes: Changeling drones
“Hiss!”
“Hiss!”
>>93508"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."
>>93511"OH HORSE HOCKEY"
Dark Star reaches for his pistols
>>93512"Interesting..."
Spark just sits there and wonders what the crystal horse is talking about.
>>93514I’m’a get you
>>93515The two small drones leap closer to Dark Star, and when they land, he can see a stream of his own joy being sucked straight out of him, replacing it with a deep feeling of dread. Loneliness. Sadness. Emptiness.
>>93516Honestly Onyx wonders the same thing sometimes
"Now what about you? Where are you from?"
>>93517Not if I get myself first
>>93517"Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Buck off or I'll shoot!"
Dark Star kicks at them
>>93518"Canterlot. Just a student from magic school."
>>93519It hisses more, then sucks more from him
>>93520Onyx nods
"Interesting, what was that like if you don't mind me asking?"
>>93521Dark Shoots at both of them
"Then Die"
>>93522"It was gorgeous, but I wasn't exactly a star student."
>>93525Onyx smirks a little bit
"Yep, I know how that goes"
>>93527One dies in a pool of green blood. The other hisses, and then flees out of the room
>>93530"ugh,what the buck?"
Dark Star goes down stairs
>>93531It's strangely empty downstairs. The sun is still out
>>93532Dark Star heads up and checks Silver's room
[1d2 = 2]>>93533>>93533It's not immediately obvious if any pony is in the room
>>93535Dark Star is feeling a little spooked
"Hello?"
>>93548Whatever. 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.
>>93550Sorry, 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."
>>93551This is my first game ever to DM"Alright, what have you go here for me?"
>>93552In 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."
>>93553He looks at the Bits gun, and then back to Silver, with a definite look of concern
"You know this gun is illegal to own, right?"
>>93554Definitely news to Silver, from the confused look on his face. "I am not even certain one could say I own it."
>>93555You've been fine, don't worryHe continues staring at him
"Fully automatic submachine guns are not legal to
possess for any civilian"
>>93556Silver maintains his confused look. "That...sounds odd. It is not as if I plan on doing anything illegal using it. But alright, if you can not do anything to it." 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.
