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 because of their encounters 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.

>>95609Iron nods solemnly.
"I understand."
He smiles slightly.
"If it were because of the difficulty of obtaining ingredients, do not fret. I shall help you on that. You have my word."
>>95610I mean... there’s no harm in them just talking... I think>>95611“Well, ingredients, time. So forth”
>>95612>inb4 they fuck in front of him while he's goneIron hums again.
"There should be a solution somewhere for your problems. We should talk about our visit to the jungle if there are any sort of constraints on your jobs."
>>95613“Well, I’ll need a fill in with the gang and with my father’s restaraunt. Just so long as I can meet the bills.”
>>95612Fair enough."So, I saw you have new possession. Who won it from fair?"
>>95614Iron nods.
"The gang part should be easy. There should be many like you to replace for a while. Finding a cook, especially one as good as you, will obviously be the main concern, unless your sister cooks with the same quality like you."
>>95615That smile again
“I did”
>>95616“There’s that, but there’s also the question of whether he’ll have enough money to cover expenses. I support my family. It’s why I do what I do”
>>95617Iron pokes his chin.
"Maybe I can add another salary to cover it. It should repay all that you have done for me so far. However, I would need a job either geared for intimidation or strength. That way, we could save money to cover expenses for the time we go for the jungle later."
>>95617He gets a laugh out of that. "Now here is
real question: what was competition?"
>>95618“Well, if you are intimidating enough, there should be options”
>>95619“Dart throwing”
>>95620Iron smiles with a hopeful look on his face.
"That should solve all the problems, then. Right?"
>>95620Silver puts on a comtemplative look for a bit while he considers this. After a couple seconds, he nods to her. "I can believe that. It sounds like throwing weapons would be among types of weapons you would have learned to use back in Nimbusia."
>>95622“There are some, yes. It’s rather stealthy, although a javelin is generally preferred to a dart”
>>95623"Of course. They may be more difficult to learn how to throw, but they are more powerful, and javelins can be used just same as short spears in melee." He looks up to his horn. "I could never get hang of it, unfortunately. I prefer throwing axes to javelins."
>>95621“It... May”
>>95624“You throw axes?” She takes a sip of her drink
>>95625Iron smiles wide.
"Then we shall get to it."
Hm... I'm failing to keep up the conversation long enough... Iron's open for any sort of question Cauldron could ask to keep the talk going. >>95625"I have dabbled, in past. It is traditional weapon in Severyanan culture, and is regarded by some as artform." Silver likewise takes a drink of his own whiskey. "I have no delusions about being anywhere near as good as some back in Motherland, but I can at least throw axes without them flying backwards or straight up into air."
>>95627“Huh...” she takes another sip of her drink
>>95626“I’ll think about it. I don’t have to worry until tomorrow”
>>95628Iron smiles.
"Either way, I shall follow you along. I hope you do not mind."
>>95628"It is tricky to learn. Most young bucks who pick up their first throwing ax usually make mistake of releasing too early, which results in them doing what I mentioned earlier. Then some overcorrect and throw their axes into ground right at their hooves." Silver finishes his whiskey, and turns to Glass. "Another whiskey, if it pleases you."
>>95630“I can’t aay I ever wielded an axe... for any purpose.”
>>95629“I guess if you could tag along one night you can tag along more than one. You keep the Griffins away, and I’ll handle the cats”
>>95631Iron smiles.
"You can count on that, Cauldron. Next time, I will not be so lightheaded, that is for sure."
>>95631His ears perk up a little. "Well, I could
try to teach you one of these days, if you wanted. Just do not count too heavily on my ability to actually teach."
Now GM is kill.
Press F yet again.
In case anyone reads this before I get back, it'll be a couple hours or so before I'm ready to play.
>>95639“You better believe it, Starry”
>>95640"that's a weird way to say i won it for you."
>>95641“You were there, Dark Star. You saw who was the better dart player”
>>95644She rolls her eyes and shakes her head
“If that’s what you just tell yourself to help yourself sleep at night”
>>95645Dark Star laughs
"Thats what the alcohol is for."
If we go by raw dice rolls, Skies won 9 out of 10 dice contests. The one and only one she lost was forfeited. She won every single set of opposed die rolls. If we artificially inflate Dark Star’s score by adding 2 points to each individual die roll, or 6 points to each set of die rolls, Star wins in 5 out of 10 contests, or half of them
>>95647>>95649Aka the fight is actually viable since both of them "won" if the inflation happens.
>>95649Oh yes, pic in
>>95649 is Skies’ response to Dark Star’s remarks
>>95649Dark Star drinks from his Flask
>>95652“Do you have an alcohol problem, Dark Star?”
>>95655She thinks his motive could be, To drink to dull the pain.
>>95656“You were passed out when we arrived. We weren’t gone long at all”
>>95657"Yea, i had a couple strong drinks. while i was waiting."
>>95658“Is this going to be a recurring thing going forward?” She asks
