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

>>94107"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
>>94108Kerr 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>>94109On the plus side, Silver has found creative uses for his magic
>>94110How drunk is he right now?
>>94111A little creativity never hurt anypony, after all. Perhaps he can find other ways to utilize it.
>>94110Silver looks longingly at the flask in Star's possession. It's been a while since Silver has had a drink.
>>94111Iron 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.
>>94114Dark Star looks at Silver
"Want some?"
Dark Star extendeds his arm to you
>>94115She 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."
>>94116"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."
>>94118>>94116She smiles
"You two want to go to a bar?"
>>94118"Take as much as you want."
>>94119"Dark Star thinks to himself
"Does she not wand to go on the date" >>94119This gets Silver to laugh. "I am always up for that, but I still have job to do, and I believe you two still have date to go on."
>>94120"Nah, I am fine. Just needed little something to wet my throat, thank you."
>>94117Iron 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'?"
>>94119"i didnt want to get too drunk tonight, at least before we go to the carnival."
>>94123She 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
>>94123"Oh you two can go get drunk, while I go to the carnival" She smiles
>>94126Silver seems to be in a jovial mood today, as this brings him a bit more laughter. "Very well then, if you insist!"
>>94126"Ha,Silvers a good Friend and i would go drinking with him any time, But I'd rather Ride Carnival rides with you."
>>94125He 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?"
>>94129"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
>>94128She smiles back at him in her usual sort of way, and her tail briefly moves from one side to the other
>>94130He chuckles at her joke.
"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.
>>94130Dark Star looks at her and Grins
"let's get going."
>>94127"you Can Carry the books inside right?"
>>94133"Of course. You two go ahead. I hope you have fun on your date." Silver smiles at him, and gives him a wave.
>>94131She nods in a sort of "Damn right I can" expression
He can just sit right next to Cauldron on the sofa, as she's sitting on the end that's further away. They'd be right next to each other, but what else can you do in a small apartment?
>>94133"Very well"
>>94134Skies waves at him goodbye
>>94134"see you later."
Dark Star Waves back
>>94135Dark Star hails a taxi and helps blue into then gets in a tells him where to go
>>94135>>94136Silver waves Blue goodbye as well as he grabs some more books. "I hope you both enjoy yourselves!"
>>94135He 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.
>>94136And thus they do so, arriving after, well, not too long
>>94137And so he sees the two of them go off
Now Silver is all alone...
>>94138Indeed, she does look proud. Until she lowers her eyebrows, and scrunches up her face at the terrible pun.
>>94139He 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.
>>94139Iron 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. >>94140He can feel it sucking away his soul... The Loneliness surrounding him. Crushing him
>>94141Well. It's not bad. Definitely much better than grass. But seriously, the vegetables are pretty good
>>94139Dark Star opens the door then steps out,He then helps Blue out.
"Would you look at all the lights, This place has gotten better since i was a colt."
Dark Star Has a look of joy on his face that would not look out of place on a Colt
>>94142As 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.
>>94140You could try to talk to that one poner that greeted you and was very thankful for your contribution and was a cripple of sorts. >>94143It's lit up, with attraction tents, the Ferris wheel, and yes, the roller coaster
"So you did visit these as a colt?" she asks
>>94145Her 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
>>94144Let'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....
>>94146It's a very, very, very lonely life for a pony like Silver...
Work work work. So much work....Silver stops, and looks down at his own hooves.
Why is it everypony leaves me behind? >>94146"yea a few times, my mom,Dark Days took My Brother and I."
Dark Stars smile Fades a bit,then comes Back
>>94146>sexual assualt >>94146Iron 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?"
>>94147Next 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. >>94148She pats his shoulder
>>94149"He was in the Merchant Marine for Equestria. He went all around Equestria, the Dominion, Olenia... A few places on Zebrica. Yeah, I guess he traveled a bit"
Inb4... Nevermind, I'm not gonna say it>>94147Poor SIlver. If only he had somepony to come pat him on the back... But he doesn't
>>94150My mind is an enigma.Iron nods.
"What is a merchant 'mah-reene'?"
>>94150Dark Star puts his arm around her neck and goes into the fair
"So what do you want to ride first?"
>>94151"Just a merchant ship carrying cargo that would often do contracts for the equestrian government, especially in times of war"
>>94152"What do
you want to do?" she asks him
>>94153Remember that British poster who wrote that fanfic with the Mary Sue character he named "Silver Star"? >>94155I 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?"
>>94150He 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.
>>94156She 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
>>94157Okay, that's too sad
for me >>94155Dark Star puts his hoof to his chin and his eyes look up in thought.
"Hmmmm i think i want to see the hall of oddities first."
>>94157>>94158Silver cucked star,stop making me feel bad for himThat's really sad, Dark Star And silver have a lot in common.
