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

Well, is this not interesting room. Silver first looks through the jacket's pockets, if it has any, for any notes or letters. He also looks at the sword, as it's a bit of a change from the muskets he's seen.

She gives a scrunchy frown, and has a look of sort of surprise. At least she isn’t annoyed
“We are fully inducted members of the syndicate. Our job is to carry out money making operations. With the approval of the Underboss, of course”

An older version. A Canterlot sword. There is indeed a note
which will have to wait because my parents want me to drive them or something
It appears there is also more to this room than originally seen upon entering

Iron nods, snickering at the scrunchiness in display.
"So you are a sort of business mare? I think that makes sense. I am rather surprised how calm this place is, comparing to the other mademare's location. No guards, no thugs. Just you and Rays."
(Did I ask her name? I do not remember...)
A slight frown is made at the possible forgetfulness Iron may show if asked.

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.

“And some are better than others” she says, nodding
She summons the waiter, and asks her to bring the check, which runs at Perhaps 25 buts, mostly because of the wine
>>93207
“Not every pony advertises their true nature for all to see, as if it were a badge of honor. Some mares prefer subtlety.”

Iron nods.
"Understandable. While I cannot be too subtle with my body and all, I do get that it is useful in many situations."
He solidifies his point by stomping the floor with one of his front hooves.

The letter is fine. The issue is the severe disparity between this letter's date and last letter sent from Curwhinny to Corn. Unless that's intentional.
>>93209
Hmm. Well, it seems as though things did not end well for Whipperwill. It also seems as though Cinnamon Corn told them about what Curwhinny did, one year prior to his note to her. Silver gives the sword a couple swings to see if it could be recovered while he trots around the room. Why does this room seem so odd to him?

It was because I didn’t bother to check the old threads to make sure the date was correct before making the last post. It should be rectified to something like October 769
The sword is definitely rusty, and the rust has dulled the blade.
Hanging in the room are several portraits. There is also a door way leading into another room
>>93215
“But of course I do”
>>93216
She nods
“I am”

"I suppose that is private business?"
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.

Dark Star Stands up a little slower than usual,
"heh that wine is pretty strong. it really crept up on me."
He Holds out his hoof to hold hooves with blue

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

I meant to say that they looked raised away from the surface they were hanging over
I’m shocked you haven’t tried it with her
Two simple notebooks in the desk, and a quill
>>93225
She shrugs
“It can be a tough business, but I don’t know where I’d rather be”
>>93226
Her hooves do feel somewhat soft. Certainly she has fluffy fetlocks
>>93228
Unfortunately, there are no shot glasses in his room. At least Brie should be back in his room by now
The griffin waves them as they go out, and a taxi is hailed quickly

Okay, rereading it, I did indeed just read it wrong. Honestly thought you were just describing their position compared to the other portraits. Forget Silver said anything about that, then.
Silver looks through the notebooks to see if they have anything in them the Black Hooves would want.

"You mean you do not know where to go if not for the gang of all things? You seem fit to do whatever you want."

“Ja” Wesley says, not actually giving a specific answer to the “or” question. Kerr nods likewise.
There is a knocking on the door in the described pattern

"Okay, ich komme bald wieder. Denken Sie daran, die Tür und 2 Schläge zu verriegeln, Pause und 1 Schlag." Brie says in his horribly compromised jewgle translation, heading out for the main lounge bar.

Could be of some use. Silver takes it anyways, before looking to see what could be behind the two portraits.

"Of course."
Another check on his body is done, maybe sneak a look over to the unicorn to see if he finds anything of note or out of place like any scar or abnormality.

One is under the portrait of the white monocled unicorn. It looks as if it includes a number of family secrets for various families in the Baltimare area. The other book is under the portrait of the old ashen grey unicorn, and seems kind of dark and mysterious
>>93246
It is so.
>>93245
She looks down at the scar.
“In such a dangerous trade, I am content to have gained fewer scars in several years than you have in less than an hour”

Iron shakes his head, chuckling.
"You are right. Still, I thought your role was a of a business owner. How did you manage to get a scar to begin with? Did you have to do thug work like I am doing?"

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.

>>93250
Indeed it is. There are a few more ponies there, as well as that same stallion from earlier

He quickly closes it up and takes it, along with the other book. They will definitely want this.
Alright, so if I were to guess, I would say next room must be bedroom... Silver carefully steps through the doorway to the next room.

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?)
>>93254
You better not make the Black Hooves evil lich monsters with those books.
