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.
The long train ride from Baltimare to Bales has been interrupted by a group of partisan fighters, claiming to be looking for none other than Pinkie Pie, who has been kept prisoner since the end of the war. They don't seem to have found their prize, but they do seem to have found a very pissed off Brie, Onyx, and Spark, as well as another Bat Pony, and both groups have been interrupted by a new set of intruders. In Baltimare, Silver, Dark Star, and Iron await a new and uncertain dawn.

"Mit der Zeit werden Sie feststellen, dass ich mehr Schutz brauche als Sie. Aber ja, ich werde jeden niederschlagen, der dich bedroht." Brie says finally, giving both Lings headpats.
He's getting eated isn't he?

Wesley pulls himself up, and somewhat over Brie (or under him, if he is sitting up, and looking out the window at the passing scene. For Kerr, this answer seems to be exactly what he wanted to hear, and he comes toward, towards Brie, looking st him, then jumping off n the bed to curl up on the end of the bed near Brie. He too, is ice cold

Right across from the door is a little beige bob that allows control of the heat. When Brie returns, his two weird cat-things try to snuggle up with him, Wesley again taking the wall, and Kerr, the corner of the bed by the window. He can feel them against his fur. There’s something endothermic about these ersatz foals.
The train proceeds down the hill at great speed, and levels out into coniferous forest. Whether Brie knows it or not, he has passed the mountain range that divides north and south Equestria, and fall pines dominate where farmland and bare deciduous trees did before.

I don’t even know. It really varies with how long the war lasts. Half the time I’m across the seas in Griffonia and not really paying attention to the Great War, and half the time I’m a participant in it. I’m not even sure. If it drags out a while, it can be 5 million. Usually, when I am invading Equestria as the Changeling Lands or the Olenian Riki, Equestria suffers a little million casualties, like 2.4 million. I’m not even sure if that’s including the Crystal Empire or not. My side suffers around 70,000 casualties, give or take 20,000. As New Mareland the war tends to be smaller, something like 650,000 Equestrian casualties to the changelings, 700,000 to me, and like 300,000 Crystal empire casualties (from changelings) and like 800,000 or so combined Changeling casualties, and like 24,000 on my side.

Huh. I guess this one I'm watching play out now is rather low-casualty at a combined 2 million for all parties, even if Equestria has run out of ponypower TWICE now and currently doesn't even have 100k left to spare.

Brie grudgingly allows the Lings to snuggle and steal his warmth, his faggot types with a hint of irony, because his body temperature tends to run a little high and has o occasion had his body heat stolen for precisely that reason.

Brie rests his hooves on the both of them, recounting the course of the day and how they didn't end up in pony custody somehow. He lost a few more of his favorite blades, but he did pick up a shiny new one. Hopefully next time there's a crisis he doesn't have to hold back so much though.

The train barrels through dense forests, the same as once his the resting place of the Pillars of Equestria, a light snow starts to fall outside.
It’s more than a little cold in the car. Even with the blanket, it feels cold. The leaves if the trees become more and more dull. Hell, the green floors do the same, as the world fades. It’s been a very long day, and an even longer night. Brie has lost a bit of blood. He’s more than a little tired. From somewhere in his future, Brie can feel a dark wind blowing. But the energy is sapped from him, and he falls asleep

And thus, with that, Brie loses a sliver of himself, possibly forever, to the Changelings. He wasn't the first to do so, and probably not the last.

Yes, but Brie is so damned tasty
They would definitely suck out much more if they were really determined to

Also, it was kind of a self fulfilling prophesy. I initially figured that while changelings would take pretty much any opportunity they got, they basically stripped that pony earlier, and so didn’t really need anything from Brie. Rather, they just wanted physical warmth. But with all the talk, I figured it would be anti-climatic if they didn’t

As he regains consciousness, the crackling turns into more of a purring sound. Kerr seems to be literally overtop of Brie, and Wesley is still to the side, emitting a kind of purring sound. More light comes into the cabin from outside, where the scenery transitioned to snow covered pastures and fields of wheat

The short sword is something of a gladus-like design, bladed on both sides, implying it is designed principally to be a stabbing instrument, it is thick enough to give the instrument the integrity needed to act as a slashing weapon. It doesn’t look optimal for utilitarian purposes like husking coconuts, so whoever made it intended it to be either a weapon or a ceremonial tool. The handle has alternating beige and brown rings, and the metal on the side of the handle is a slightly different color than the color of the blade. The metal on the inside glows iridescently, while the metal on the outside is duller and darker. It does indeed seem to be magical, glowing shinny and chrome, a fact that the previous owner tried to hide with an electroplated outer coating
There is also a necklace, a plain ring, a pair of sunglasses, a couple flares

They seem relatively normal thus far, though they darken his field of view ever so slightly. They seem good for bright environments

A sense of foreboding, a reduced ability to see color (which only really applies to the carpet because everything outside is white), a feeling of being tired (which he should have regardless for obvious reasons, and a feeling of being very cold (which could just be because it’s below freezing outside).
If changelings are cursed with being vampires with nasty bites, they are blessed with the symptoms they bestow on their hosts being ordinary enough for most ponies, awaking hung over, in a cold room, and perhaps already depressed, to not think anything unexpected.

[i]the idea was the imply that the changelings are cold-blooded, and so seek other sources of heat

Iron does so, giddy and eager to see why a group of seemingly organized bandits would attack a temple now that he knew it was more like an entrance to the underground.
(Wait. Why would a group of bandits attack something that resembles more as a cemetery than a place full of treasure?)
His giddiness is slightly tampered by a wave of slight dread at the possible prospects of raiding a god's temple, especially one who controls death or at least the entrance of the underworld.

The stream isn’t all that wide at this point, at most three meters between the edge and the wall, although the possibility that it runs underneath the evident right-wall of the cavern cannot be ruled out. The water is fairly clear. As he shines the light into it, something glimmers back.

"Well, water falling upon the hill goes through layers of sediment before reaching the bedrock, which in this particular area is made of Limestone, which erodes away from carbonic acid and creates the little underground rivers you see here. But that isn't what you wanted to know, is it? The Marexica tribe of the Neighuatl ponies believed these underground caverns to be entrances to the underworld, or their version of the afterlife. Xibalba. And these little streams were believed to carry the souls of the dead off to there. They would often make offerings to Xibalba, like a coin to ensure safe passage, or sometimes, to send off wealth in the hopes it may be used by loved ones or ancestors in the afterlife.
