>>96122Well, one of the participants isn’t really in so...
>>96128“And don’t touch my nose”
>>96131Dark star boops her again
>>96134I don’t know if Dark Star quite boops himself but... he doesn’t boop the snoot
>>96135How are the other ponies in the bar reacting to this?
>>96136Who knows? All Dark Star can see is fluff
>>96138It looks like it. And yet, Dark Star is still stuck under him. Like a conjoined twin tied to their dead brother
>>96139Reeeeee
"REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
>>96140“Reee all you want. It won’t un-cuddle you”
>>96141"i think you are enjoying this."
>>96142She leans back in her chair, crosses her legs, and grins
“In a way... it’s nice to see somepony else be the living cuddle toy for once.”
>>96143"Dark star sighs
"Yea, i guess that would be nice."
>>96138Fuck, I passed out again!
>>96146The only thing really essential to pay attention to is Skies’ statement in
>>96143 >>96143Silver continues to find mirth in the banter between Star and Skies. "I take it you are normally little spoon in relationship?"
>>96155Qt.Played a little bit as Longsword recently (communist path, because I like playing as Pony nations better than Griffon nations and because Starry Night's design is actually bretty gud), and it really helped to show why the Longswordian Civil War is never consistent. So many 7-day Focuses, so many events and decisions, so much RNG...
>>96156I like Wingbardy better than lonsword tbh
>>96157True, but there's that challenge of taking a tiny, landlocked, poor, uneducated county, fixing it up, then turning around and conquering the Empire you originally spawned from.
>>96157>>96158So in that case, it's a bit like playing as Serbia in Victoria 2.
>>96148"Yes, basically."
>>96153Dark Star is pretty much being spooned the hell out of right now.
>>96156I've tried repeatedly to stop Hellquill before it genocides the ponies, but it's almost impossible for virtually all surrounding countries.
Despite having three paths, Hellquill 100% invariably goes fascist, and will always complete the pony genocide before 1010, usually much earlier. The only nation that can reliably conquer Hellquill first is the Longsword Socialists (maybe the Military), as they get an early war goal. The Diamond Dogs get an early war goal, but the military is hopelessly inferior until much later. I am not sure about war goals with Firtree and Farbrook, but generally the military is not powerful enough that early. You can
almost do it with Greneclyff, but it's usually too slow. The biggest disapointment is Lake City, who despite getting wargoals against Longsword and Hellquill, and having an ideology that would care about a genocide of ponies, their war goals are bizarrely late in their trees, making it difficult or impossible to conquer Hellquill early enough.
I don't like how the pony genocide in Hellquill goes basically unnoticed by everyone. When the Fascists/Purists of Nimbusia take over, they start to murder Helots at random, which triggers an event for pretty much all nations, and causes Nimbusia to be kicked out of the River Coalition. The focus "what minorities?" by contrast, has no event pop up for any country, not even Hellquill itself. Only the focus "reign of terror" has an event pop up for the Hellquill player, and the whole affair goes entirely unnoticed by Lake City, a pony communist Longsword, and basically everyone who would be inclined to care.
The Reformitsen Black Cloaks of Longsword get a national spirit, a bit of text in the intro-screen, and two separate focus trees opposing them. The Reformitsen Black Cloaks of Hellquill are 100% unnoticed until they unleash a bio-weapon that kills a million Riverlands ponies.
Oh God... That was an almost Nigel level tangent\r
>>96160"Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
*Angry Fascist hores sounds*
>>96162Um... what is Dark Star reeing to? His status as a living Dakimakura for Silver?
>>96160>>96162Silver smiles some more as he nuzzles into the top of Star's head. "Well, if you ever need somepony to come and turn Star into teddy bear, you know who to call."
Definitely going to be my next goal when I continue as Longsword, but I've gotta hurry. It's New Years on 1008, and they've almost completed the opposite branch of their fascist tree. Just hoping a bunch of partisans is enough to overwhelm the border guards they have before that focus completes.It's neat they added Hellquill to the list of nations you can force to go down a specific path, though. >>96168"Not only are you silly pony, you are also cute pony." Star is fairly certain Silver just kissed the top of his head, though his time to respond to this is limited by Silver once again pulling Star into his new fluffy home.
>>96164>>96168>>96169Skie pulls up her hooves to the right side of her head as she tilts her face
"D'aww. You two are so cute together"
>>96170>>96169"No u"
Dark Star sounds rather indignant
>>96170>>96171"So we are all silly and cute? Great!" Star is absolutely smothered by Silver's thick, soft winter coat. He looks over at Blue, a little worried about her while Silver and Star bond over the comforts of warm fur. "You are not feeling left out, are you? We can move to booth if you want to."
>>96171“No I what?”
She tilts her head in confusion at Dark Star’s sentence fragment
>>96172>>96174"Hehe"
Skies stands up, and walks closer, trying to squeeze her head and shoulders into the Silver Star fluff ball between Silver and Star
>>96175"Oh! Here, just let me..." Silver relents just a little in his struggle-snuggling of Star, giving Blue enough room to squeeze in between the two stallions.
>>96176Skies places herself between the two Stallions and slightly underneath them. As Skies is a quadreped and standing, while Silver and Star are sitting upright, this isn't all that hard to do, so Silver still has his head over Dark Star's head and it is easy enough to wrap around him. Skies' fur, now pressed against him, is that same relatively short haired fluff that is soft and washed a little too often with a little too much shampoo. Skies now serves as a shield between Star and Silver's nether regions, thus protecting him from any poking he may be afraid of
>>96177>>96175>>96176"Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
>>96178"Shhh, Shhh. It's okay Star. With time, you will come to
love the cuddling"
She tries to look over to Star with that wicked grin upon her face. Star can feel her too. She's soft
>ywn be in Dark Star's position
It hurts
>>96179Dark Star Grabs her into a hug
"Well i guess its a little better now."
>>96180>>96181Just some choice quotes so Dark Star's player understands exactly what is happening to his character
>Silver takes this as a sign that he needs to do more, resulting in the larger Unicorn almost completely wrapping the smaller Earth Pony up, using his body as a giant, thick, fuzzy blanket>Silver rests his head on top of Star's. His full weight feels like it's resting either on or around the small stallion.>At the very least, Star is now comfortably warm, like he's wrapped up in a nice, soft, warm blanket>He wraps his forelegs around the barrel of the poor stallion he's covering. Star looks a little bit like a great big teddy bear in Silver's grasp>Silver is more than happy to oblige as he rests his head on Star's>He repositions his forelegs so that one of them is holding Star higher up around his barrel, closer to his chest as if he was holding a foal up in his lap. Using his newly freed hoof, he gives Star's belly a similar poke> Star's struggle against the snuggle only makes Silver hold him closer against his fluffy body. Star almost has a feeling like he's being absorbed into Silver. Must be the volume of fluff and floof surrounding him>Silver nuzzles the top of his head, humming contently to himself>Silver smiles some more as he nuzzles into the top of Star's head>Star is fairly certain Silver just kissed the top of his head, though his time to respond to this is limited by Silver once again pulling Star into his new fluffy home.>Star is absolutely smothered by Silver's thick, soft winter coat >>96181*coo*
She rubs her head along Dark Star's. Now, he has two ponies nuzzling him
>>96183REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE>>96185Dark star nuzzles Blue back
>>96177Silver, meanwhile, feels...well, exactly how he looks. His thick winter coat, poofed up from exposure to the chilly Baltimare air and his own biological calendar, provides a nice level of cushion and traps heat efficiently within the white-to-light grey mass that is Silver Sword. Pressing her hooves into the mass of fur, Blue can feel the trapped heat attempting to make use of this escape opportunity before equalizing in the colder room temperature around them. The heat that continues to remain trapped radiates as if Silver himself was like an electric blanket. Beneath the soft fluff she can feel the dense, firm muscle of his body surrounded by a layer of insulating fat. It's good to know there's a pony beneath all of that fur.
Silver, meanwhile, resumes pressing the now two bodies next to him into the expanding cuddle pile. At the moment, he couldn't be happier than by being in his current position. "I hope you two are enjoying this."
>>96183Kek. >>96186>>96187"I guess we
could continue this in a booth, or a bedroom"
>>96189Absolutely no lewd thoughts about either of those options crosses Silver's mind, somehow. He gives Blue a warm smile. "That sounds great."
>>96191>>96192"Silver.... I think our little cuddle bunny needs more warmth"
>>96192"Why not? There would be more room for all three of us, and it would be comfier as we could all lay on bed." He gives Star a confused look that he probably can't see, as Silver's head is still resting on top of Star's.
>>96194>tfw you reply just as someone else replies to youSilver thinks on this for a couple seconds, considering the situation as best as any drunk pony can. When he's finishes, he gives her a nod. "Well, it is chilly. I do not want Starry to freeze...yes, I also think he could use some more warmth."
>>96192"Well Star... what do you think?" of
>>96195 >>96197Reeeeeeeeeee
>>96195>>96194>>96199"I don't Know. why would we need a bedroom?"
>>96200"Because I imagine this is little bit awkward for Skies to try to join in on cuddle action while we are sitting here at bar, and because it would be much more comfortable for all of us. I already said why it would be nice to continue on bed, besides." He gets a smile on his face not-unlike Blue's own trademark grin. "We could always put it to vote if you want."
>>96201"Democracy is for ziggers."
>>96202"Nimbusia was a direct democracy. So was New Mareland."
>>96202Star can almost hear the gears in Silver's head turn. "Actually, I think zebras live in tribal chiefdoms, mostly. It was us ponies who invented democracy."
>>96203>>96204"Hmph, I said democracy is for Ziggers"
>>96205"Am I a zigger to you?" she asks
>>96205>>96206Silver looks at Blue, then at Star, then back at Blue again. "Okay...all in favor of saying democracy is for ponies, say 'aye'." Silver raises a forehoof into the air. "Aye."
I'll be right back. >>96208>>96207Two to one it is. Stroll right into the bedroom.
>>96206"Only if i look like a changeling to you."
dark Star laughs
>>96208>>96207"God, i hate Democracy."
>>96208Motion passes. Second motion: should we continue cuddling with Star in bedroom of some sort. All in favor say 'aye'." Once again Silver's hoof goes in the air. "Aye."
>>96210Silver's grin suggests he's getting a fair amount of joy out of Star's current misfortune. Whether he likes it or not, Silver has become deadest on cuddling Star into submission with Blue's help.
>>96213Silver continues smiling at this. "Motion passes."
>>96214"Where shall we take him?"
>>96215"Hmm..." Silver looks at the victim currently within his grasp. "Well, my room here at tavern is not as luxurious as your suite at Grand Baltimare Hotel, but it is right here. Your suite would make for best cuddle spot, I would imagine, but we would need to travel there...I suppose I would suggest your place, if that is okay with you."
>>96218"Don't you recall? The Nimbusian wine. We can go out and buy more or other things on the way"
>>96219Oh right, Silver remembers seeing that bottle earlier, when he was having his beloved beans! His delicious, beloved baked beans...almost brings a tear to the eye.
>>96219Dark star makes a grunting sound
"I guess."
>>96221She pets him
“What’s wrong Starry?”
>>96220He shall never love again in such a way
unless things go exceedingly well with Star >>96223"I'm a brave Stallion and i'm Being handled like i was nothing more than a colt."
>>96225She rubs his left ear, then grins
“Want us to cuddle you like a stallion, then?”
