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

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

Spooky dice.
Iron snickers.
"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

“Oh, that hotel? That’s the old Gilman Hotel. It’s been closed down a while now. The church used to be the Sacred Hearts of Celestia and Luna, but it closed down”

Oh, Iron's head is currently in static as he trots alongside her.
"What are hotels? Is Celestia that princess? Who is Luna? What were their purpose?"

“Well... a hotel is a place where ponies pay to stay to sleep for the night when traveling through a town or city. And Celestia and Luna were the former princesses of Equestria - the country you’ve been living in you whole life. Well, not anymore.”

Iron cocks his eyebrow.
"What do you mean by that? I have not noticed any major difference between the past and the present. Do you mean this territory used to be called and ruled different?"

Well yes. This was formerly the Principality of Equestria, now it is ‘the Baltimare Autonomous Region,’ or something or other.”

Some intense thinking sessions they're having. Silver is likely still thinking. Star is most likely kill.
Iron nods, sucking in the information.
"A strange name. I would have though they would have named it something like 'Metal City' or something."

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

Damn, Rain must be one kick-ass accountant. But Silver... poor Silver. If there were somepony around to hug him, he’d be hugged
Also, good job on making this character sound different than the others. I am prett sure I am still far behind on differentiating characters in speech”

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.

The room is still cold around him, a cluttered emptiness. Maybe the beans are doing better. Also this is kind of off topic but he doesn’t have his adoptive grandfoals anymore either

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.
