>>96019Silver 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. A little awkward in a public place, but Silver's had enough to drink where he no longer really cares.
>>96018“Don’t be sad that you lost, be sad for starting the fight. Now get back on the couch.”
>>96019She has a devious smile on her face, and places her two hooves together under smile
>>96021Iron chuckles.
"I am not sad about starting it. It is quite fun to do these 'fights'."
He finally comes closer to Cauldron, waggling his eyebrows.
"Who does not want some friendly 'sparring' from time to time?"
>>96023“Oh come on Dark Star. Where is the commaraderie?”
>>96023Silver rests his head on top of Star's. His full weight feels like it's resting either on or around the small stallion. "Just making sure you stay warm. I can not have you getting cold, now."
>>96024"this seems a little strange."
>>96025"Uhhhh"
>>96027At the very least, Star is now comfortably warm, like he's wrapped up in a nice, soft, warm blanket. Silver seems happy with the current arrangement, too. He's got a snuggle buddy to help keep
him warm in turn, and keep him company.
>>96027Now she smiles warmly
“Do you not like physical contact, Starry?”
>>96022“Sure. Call it ‘sparring’ after you’ve lost”
>>96030Iron smiles.
"I do not mean to belittle your win, Cauldron. You are definitely a strong and agile mare. Your muscles and lean physique show it rather well."
>>96030"Not generally with other stallions."
>>96028"you are sort of soft."
>>96032“Why not?” She tilts her head
>>96031She gives another nod
“Damn right. Next time, pay attention to your footing. That is essention in any kind of hoof to hoof fight”
>>96033Iron shakes his head.
"It happens to all of us sometimes. I will try to keep that in mind, though."
He pokes his chin for a bit, thinking on something kondo of risky.
>>96033"It seems kind of you know."
Dark Star mumbles the last word
>>96035“Like a way of intensifying friendships and commaraderie among ponies?” She complete his sentence
>>96034“And you can stop thinking about it right now”
>>96036At last. Laptop land has been reached!Iron, taking advantage of his close proximity, wraps Cauldron in a nice, gentle hug. His eyes remain close and his mouth has a content grin.
>>96037“Gah!”
She is taken by surprise.
She is soft and fuzzy if you pet her in the direction the hairs trend. But she is rough should you pet her against the grain. Under her fur is a fairly hard interior that seems to be defined by muscle
>>96038“Do you not like Silver?”
\r
>>96039"Of course i like silver, he's a great pony."
>>96039His main hoof pets at the soft and fuzzy direction for a few seconds, simply feeling the warmth and comfort of having someone to hug.
He hums in contentment for a bit as the seconds pass.
>>96040“So what’s wrong?”
>>96041“Iron. What are you doing.”
>>96042Iron does not really react to the surprise and possible discomfort of Cauldron.
"I am simply hugging someone who is nice to me."
He lets go after saying this.
"I am not all rough play."
>>96043She shrugs under his embrace
“I guess that is so”
She hugs back
>>96042Dark Star whispers to Blue
"it seems kind of Queer" >>96044Iron smiles wide as the embrace continues from Cauldron's end. More petting goes along with it, stroking the mane at the soft direction still.
"You are quite soft and smooth."
Alas, Silver is kill again
>>96045“What about it is strange?”
>>96046Her mane is relatively short cut, although as it goes the length of her neck, it seems longer. It’s not the softest mane ever
“Uh... thank you”
>>96047Iron giggles a bit. This warm feeling of embrace is quite a commodity for him. It's rather special, being shown by him still hugging the somewhat voluntary and discomforted zebra.
Cauldron should feel a tough, somewhat rough body. She can feel the many closed scars from the tiger scuffle and the one mace hit the griffin has hit him right on the head when standing up against the beaked menance. A little metal necklace can also be felt which hand snugly on Iron's neck, hanging a little figurine.
Was it called a sea buffalo? Can't quite remember.He sighs in contentment as his hoof strokes her mane a bit more to feel the semi-soft mane.
"
>>96048“Do you.... need anything else?” She asks. She hasn’t moved from her position
>>96047"Being helt by another stallion."
>>96049Iron giggles some more as he finally stops the hug, releasing the confused and awkward zebra.
"How a little bed time story?"
He chuckles some more.
>>96051“Do you want me to bring you a warm glass of milk as well? Maybe a teddy bear and some cookies?”
>>96050“Must be a cultural thing” she says
>>96053Iron giggles at the admittedly coltish requests she further presents after his own.
"If I want a teddy bear, I would rather keep hugging you. As for the others, they will probably make me energized again."
>>96053"Do stallions do stuff like this in nimbusia?"
>>96054“I take it you are not enthusiastic to get to sleep”
>>96055“Well, sometimes, yes”
>>96056Iron blinks.
"Right. I get easily excited sometimes."
He stumbles a bit, feeling the fatigue aftereffects of the booping session.
"I take it you want to go to bed, right?"
>>96057“No, you just can’t stretch your body too far at the moment with all of those injuries you have”
>>96058Iron nods understandingly.
"Alright. I get it. I shall go in the bed-like furniture and stay there, closing my eyes."
He does so, now not needing any help with covering his whole body with the two mattresses.
"Have a good night, Cauldron. Thank you for everything."
>>96059She pats his shoulders, then leans in for a hug of her own
and now I will be needing to go to sleep >>96060Iron smiles at Cauldron's hug and returns it slightly before finally nodding off to sleep. He does not keep Cauldron as a teddy bear and is free to move around, of course.
Have good night, GM. >>96047RIP. Sorry about that, I passed out.
I guess it would help if I actually left a reply for when everyone returns.>>96032Silver's reply takes a while to come as it appears he got preoccupied with a couple thoughts, first. "Thank you." 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. "You make for good snuggle-buddy."
>>96069The shoulders are where the forelegs connect to the torso. The whithers are a completely separate area on the horse between the shoulders. You get out of here with your fake news
>>96071The oopsie has been reversed!
>>96075As Silver turns Star into his little spoon, he looks over to Blue with a doppy smile plastered on his face. "We might end up having to share him for tonight. I almost do not want to let him go so easily."
>>96076“Let that friendship grow” she says, with her grin
>>96077Silver is more than happy to oblige as he rests his head on Star's. He's content to stay there sharing in Star's warmth and company for as long as the situation allows.
I wonder when Star's going to come back. It's difficult to cuddle when you've only got yourself. >>96067>>96076"If i start to feel something poking me, the situation is going escalate."
>>96089Star is... well, Star is getting cuddled the hell out of. He’s almost entirely enveloped by Silver’s fluff, and Silver is even laying his head over Star’s
He can feel and see a wing tip gently *poke* his face
>>96089>>96094Silver lets out a small
snnrk at watching Blue mess with Star in his current situation.
>>96094"that's not exactly what i was talking about."
>>96097"What about like this, then?" 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.
>>96098How hard is Blue shipping SilverStar, at this moment? >>96099>>96098"Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
Dark Star struggles against the grasp
He has a Super Cute angery look on his face >>96099Shipping? Who said Blue Skies was shipping any pony?
>>96100The "heh heh heh!" that escapes Silver's lips could almost be described as a giggle. 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.
>>96102"Snuggling is for stallions and mares."
>>96100>>96102Skies places her scrawny forelegs around the mass of fluff and Silver Star, placing herself around both of them
“So sweet. So much love.”
>>96103Silver nuzzles the top of his head, humming contently to himself. "I do not see problem with us snuggling."
>>96104Silver smiles at her adoration of the display before her. "Do you want to join?"
>>96105Dark Star Protests both statements by thrashing around
>>96105>>96107Skies burries her muzzle in the Silver Star fluff ball, evidently accepting the invitation
>>96107>>96108With the state Star's in, surrounded by Silver's fluff, it makes it looks like he's trying to find a comfortable spot in bed. "See? Now there are both stallions and mares involved."
Looks like Star was suffocated by fluff
F
>>96110He died from fluff and embarrasment.
F indeed.
[1d20+5 = 14]>>96108as Blue is sticking her head in Dark Star boops her
>>96116"Now who's the adorable one?"
Dark Star grins at her
>>96117Pretty sure his face is still full of Silver
>>96119In that case, I imagine he would get a face full of Silver fluff.
>>96119>>96120>>96121That's a low speed cuddling session.
>>96122You gotta take your time to savor the cuddles.
>>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

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?”
