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.
For those on the train. The train goes along at high speeds through the darkness past farmland, trees, and other trains... until it starts to slow down, and comes to a halt.

>>98895"Well.. I've been looking at paths generally. That path is the quickest, because it has the least foliage in the way, although it looks like we could go along a lake shoreline over here, then up the hill, and along the ridge line as well."
>>98896Probably Skies' side, as she was closer to the middle when she got in. Star's backside looks unguarded, however
>>98897Pondering for a bit, Iron tries to remember what path did that maroon coated pony take according to the map.
>>98898He said that it was on the other side of the hill, across the valley, which is true of the description Pear has given. The more direct route would be the pathway.
>>98897Hmmmm... After some deliberation, Silver decides to carefully get into Star's side of the bed, sliding under the covers and getting close to Star.
>>98901Silver gives him a sad look. "Floor is hard on my back."
>>98901>>98902"Something's hard on my back, too" Skies barely lets out through her mouth, in a tired expression as she lays there with her eyes closed
>>98899I'll assume he went along the quick path, then.Iron nods.
"I think the scenic route would help us avoid any other of these unfair fights they like to use. We shall go along that one."
He points where the lake path would be, albeit without a lot of precision. With that, he cordially bows to the helpful mare and comes back to Cauldron to see how she's doing with her alchemy.
>>98904She's boiling something
"You're lucky this plant grows plentifully in this particular area."
>>98902"Here's 50 bits. that should cover the ride back to the bar."
Dark Star Hoofs over 50 bits
>>98903"Thats my leg."
>>98905Iron smiles.
"I am actually lucky to have somepony who can make the plants heal me, but that also is true."
He peeks over the place she's boiling with a curious expression.
>>98906She moves forward a little, giving Dark Star more space.
>>98907It's transparent, but already has that minty green hue.
"Indeed you are..."
>>98908Dark Star inches forward as well. and resumes cuddling.
>>98906"Pleeeeeease…" Silver continues to try to use puppy dog eyes on him.
>>98908Iron chuckles.
"Cheer up. We are going to have quite a lot of money after this whole ordeal. These tools should be worth as much as," he stares forward for a bit then looks back at Cauldron. "Whatever comparison sounds appealing. We are also taking a scenic route along a lake. It should yield a breed of flowers you may be looking for there."
>>98911She shrugs, with a sort of smile
"Can't argue with that"
>>98912"You don't own this flat, Dark Star. Go back to sleep."
>>98913Iron smiles.
"Now that is more like it."
He ponders for a bit, pulling out an SMG from the bags.
"Say, do you know how these tools work?"
I'm not sure if I should do this, but it may work as a filler for the time being, right? Not sure if Iron would suddenly get to know how guns work through a dream he had. >>98913And thus, Silver is saved from a lonely night at his tavern room.
>>98912Silver whispers to Star as to not disturb Skies any further. "...Where exactly were you keeping those Bits?"
>>98916"..." Silver just decides to accept that answer for what it is, regardless of what else it could imply. He settles into the soft bed, letting Star have some room.
Even if Silver's Sword might like to spend some time in Star's holster. "Goodnight, Starry."
>>98914“I don’t know that much, but some of the basics”
>>98919"Compared to me, you would be an elder on this sort of stuff."
>>98917"I'm not letting a homosexual lie in the same bed as me."
Dark Star scrunches his snout
>>98922Silver just rolls his eyes at him. He's so cute when he gets like this. "Starry, I can name three perfectly good reasons as to why I am not homosexual."
>>98923"i can name a perfectly fine reason,you kissed me."
Scrunches harder
>>98923“You’re cute when you scrunch your face like that. Tell you what, if you are afraid of him touching you, I can sleep in the middle.”
Skies smiles
>>98926"Not a chance in tartarus"
He smiles back at her then hugs her harder
>>98924No stallion can.>>98925"I could not help myself." Silver's heart
and Sword can only take so much of the pony in front of him. "Silver Rain, Spectral Streak, White Light. Those are three reasons. Now, do not be so insecure about this. There is nothing wrong with two perfectly normal, adult stallions sleeping together in same bed."
>>98928>>98927“In some places, an unmarried adult male and female sleeping together in the same room is illegal, and certainly frowned upon.”
>>98929Silver lets out a quiet little chuckle. "Well, then I suppose all three of us are guilty."
>>98920“Simply do this... this... and this, and you have it reloaded.” As much detail as Iron’s mind can supply for a weapon he doesn’t even know the basics of supllies Cauldron’s physical explanation
>>98932Iron nods, interested in how it operates.
"Ah, what complex set of mechanisms this tool has. Do you know how to use it in case we need to counter their cheating tools?"
And thus, Silver and Star are kill.
F
>>98933"Oh course"
She slides the bolt back, and releases it dramatically
>>98934Iron smiles.
"Nice. You sure have a lot of knowledge of civilization."
>>98935"But of course. I was born in it. Molded by it. I did not see the jungle until I was already a mare."
>>98936Nice reference.Iron nods proudly.
"You have an astoundingly high will to boot."
He peeks at the bowl to see how it's going and takes a whiff of the potent potion.
"Are you taking more of the plants for any other risky jobs like these? I feel they would sell quite well with the mercenaries, aside from little old me."
>>98937Pretty sure Star doesn't want a possible sex scene between Silver and Skies right under his snout to the point where he risks his anal virginity if his previous post (>>98927) is anything to go by. >>98929"That's interesting."
Dark Star cuddles her tighter, she can feel his warmth warming her up
>>98939" head back to the bar."
>>98938"Heh, may as well."
>>98940*coo*
Poner is cuddled. She needs that warmth
>>98941Iron chuckles.
"Do not worry about carrying capacity. I can handle some weight. Pack as many as you want."
>>98941Dark Star pets her then kisses her neck
>>98943"It's fine, just get going."
DS lessens his glare
>>98944"Starry, please..." His voice takes on a tone of desperation.
>>98946"dark star massages her wings
>>98947"What exactly are you trying to do?"
He looks suspicious.
>>98948In Silver's face, Star can almost see...fear? "I have been alone for 13 years, Star. I do not want to be alone anymore."
>>98948Her wings are closed and close to her side, but she lets them slide out a bit, and down a little
>>98949"what do you mean alone? i'll see you tomorrow."
>>98950Dark Star continues his massage
>>98951Could you say no to something like this, Dark Star?
>>98951"But I would still have to leave."
>>98952Yes
>>98953"its just for the night."
>>98954“Dark Star, why are you being so mean to him?”
>>98958"Who do you think you're talking to?"
>>98959Somepony who ought to be desensitized to it by now.
>>98961"Being mean just doesn't do it for me."
>>98967I have an interview tomorrow morning part-way across the state, so I can’t be up tonight. I am eager to continue Brie’s story, however.
>>98968Silver should probably just stop talking and lay down on the bed at their feet
>>98969And thus, Silver does so, using his clothes for blankets. It's still better than the floor.
Good luck with your interview tomorrow. >>98983Um... Hi. Since nopony else is here, wanna talk meta, or something?
>>98984Well, I suppose first-off is that I've got my fingers crossed that next thread will be when we finally reach Day 6. I see that 99000 post number rapidly approaching.
Other than that, I do have one question off the top of my head, even if it's not a very good meta question: out of the six currently active characters
not sure if I should include the sudden bard or not which would you want to play, and what would you want to do differently while playing them?
>>98985Uh, this is definitely the kind of question where any answer would imply favoritism
>>98987So... Silver's going to
make a Harmonic resistance in Baltimare?
>>98988I honestly don't know. Silver's going to do
something, that's all I've really figured out.
>>98985Okay, here's a different version of this question that wouldn't imply favoritism: if you were playing this game, who would your character be?
>>98991Oh God, I don’t even know. I mostly just like the world building more so than wanting to play in it. I guess if I had to pick anything, it would be to play a disguised Changeling and keep it a secret, purely for the fun of seeing how many subtle hints I can get in before the rest of the party finally notices.
>>98992Patrician tier choice, my good GM
>>98991this question is gay and the poster is also gay
>>98994Um... any particular reason why?
