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.

>>100837If she were from New Mareland, then yes, but she is not. Just imagine an Iberian Spanish accent and you’d be about as close you can get.
>>100838Dusty Outback is a different character
>>100839She extends s hoof for a hoof shake... awkwardly withdrawing it if there is none back
“Same...”
Skies blinks
“What?”
>>100841Wasn't expecting Spanish-like accents.
>>100841What kind of pony do you think Silver is? He would never leave a pony hanging like that, especially when that pony is as respectful a young mare as Ink. "My name is Silver. Silver Sword."
He turns back to Skies. "While we were having breakfast, I asked if you knew of way I could get SMG cleaned and fixed. You just said 'perhaps' and did not elaborate any further."
>>100841>>100842i was expecting a greek one
>>100843She shakes his hoof, but has a very weak grip and is probably dominated by Silver
Skies: “I’m... not sure. I only have so much experience with those”
Dusty: “You say and SMG?”
>>100844>>100842Well, it’s not Spanish, it’s Greek. But I don’t know what the hell a Greek accent sounds like because I’ve never heard a Greek speaker in real life or in media, and I can barely even find videos on YouTube when I specifically look for Greek, whereas the 50 permutations of spanusg speakers are so insanely common that at work today I had multiple moment where my lack of fluency in the Spanish language and Anglo accent made things awkward. YouTube can’t tell me what a Greek accent sounds like, but it can tell me that it sounds similar to almost Mediterranean accents, especially Iberian Spanish.
Personally I don’t really imagine Skies with an accent, and I cannot really even imagine what a Greek accent would sound like, but I know that logically, she would retain a Greek-sounding accent, whatever that is
>>100846Silver is a bit worried this might go awry, with so many third parties near. "Yes?"
From what I've personally heard, it's a bit of a weird mix between a Mediterranean accent and a Slavic accent. >>100848It does seem kind of Slavic at moments>>100848“What is this about an SMG?”
>>100846>>100848Dark Star watches the them talk, but it appears if he's lost in thought
[1d20+3 = 19]First legit dice roll in a while, now much do you want to bet this is a nat 1?>>100849It makes sense, considering the surrounding cultures, languages, and accents.Sense Motive: Silver considers the potential risk of telling Dusty that he has a Bits Gun.
Just imagine her with whatever accent you like. If accent matters, I assure you I will note it.
>>100851He wants to know why the hell Silver is talking about a prohibited weapon, but also kind of wants to talk about SMGs
But dusty outback definitely should have a New Mareland accent, even if, in my head, he sounds and generally acts like Mike Ehrmantraut from Breaking Bad >>100854Well, there's no way Silver could bluff his way out of this, so he'll just have to roll with it and hope the consequences aren't too severe.
"Yes, I found SMG down at catacombs. It definitely would need cleaning and maybe little bit of fixing before it could even begin to be used, but it would be very useful tool to use against those ghasts."
>>100855“Ghasts? The ones that killed Private Green Basin?”
>>100856"Submachine gun, yes."
>>100857Silver nods. "Very same ones."
>>100858“You know that Submachine guns are severely restricted weapons, don’t you? They are not for personal use.”
>>100859"...I have since learned that, yes."
>>100858"Oh,Sorry. i was just thinking of a plan for a mission."
>>100860“So why are you talking to miss Skies about a submachine gun?”
>>100862Silver shrugs. "I was curious, I suppose. It would have made my job significantly easier."
>>100863He nods
“I’m sure many ponies feel that way. Especially rebels and gangsters”
>>100864"I imagine. I can safely say I am not part of either group, at least."
RIP Silver's aspirations to have an SMG.
>>100870Ah! Don't scare me like that, you big meanie.
>>100865“Uh Huh. Civilians are not allowed to have submachine guns. Not for shooting coyotes, not for home defense, not for sport, and not for... actually I don’t understand what you are doing”
>>100877"Doing work for her." Silver points at Blue. "Getting rare and in some cases irreplaceable tomes and books from ghast-infested catacombs, and putting to rest any undead that get in way of my mission. Not very easy task when one hit from them can be enough to completely paralyze you."
>>100878He looks over to Blue Skies for verification
“I contracted him to collect a number of books that may be of interest to Section 13 and other researchers in Sunset. Yes, there are a large number of very dangerous... entities in there.”
Skies comes closer to Dusty. Closer, and she whispers something into his ears. He nods a little, his eyes widen, and he nods more affirmatively. When she pulls away, he relents
“Very well...”
>>100879Thank you for doing me that favor.Silver raises an eyebrow, wondering what he means by this. "Hmm?"
>>100880“Your work may not have a civilian character after all”
>>100881He actually has to chuckle a little at that. "It usually does not, no."
>>100882This comment prompts Dusty to look over to Skies for interpretation. She shrugs
>>100883Silver, himself, offers that much-needed explanation he needs. "Work of this nature is not very new to me. This type of enemy is new, but delving into dangerous places nopony else would go, fetching items for clients, and dealing with deadly opponents are among things I have been doing for past 50 years."
>>100885I dunno. Dusty's presence is making things needless complicated, and I don't know how to deal. I can't deal, man!>>100886Silver, left with really nothing to reply to that, just stands there, looking a bit awkward with so many ponies around.
>>100887Relieved of any necessity to search Silver for illegal weapons he implied, but did not state that he possessed, Dusty backs off, and the same is true of Skies... not that she would have bothered with a search for unconfirmed weapons
>>100888"Right. Well, I suppose I will just...go do thing." Regardless of whether anypony heard him, Silver turns to leave the building and hitch himself back up to his cart.
>>100889And thus, it is Silver's turn to fuck up his chances for an SMG by failing to communicate clearly
>>100889>>100892Actually, Silver told Dusty "I found an SMG in the catacombs," so presumably he'd let Silver go restore the gun to operation and use it
>>100894Why you speak like Jeff Goldblum?
I’ll think about it
>>100895I'm bored, mostly.
I have no idea who that guy is and I can't fathom him saying this sentence ever.I shall hug everyone standing!
Or accomplish Iron's dream, maybe. I have no idea.
So who was that guy that pretended to have poked Skies' teats? Was that Brie or that bard guy? Who will be available when?
>>100900I'm here, though I might be on-and-off. Got company over.
>>100900I should be available in less than an hour
Are Spark and Onyx just ded?
>>100903F.
Life took them over for an extended massage ection.
>>100905>>100906I suppose it would be wrong of me to not leave an F if everyone is doing it.
F
>>100908Actually, I thought of a way to not have them get arrested and potentially gunned down
not ONE word about it would have been me pawning the guns off on them that might have gotten them killed! XP Alright, I should be ready to start soon. The last post for Brie, Onyx, and Spark was
>>100661. Dark Star and Silver were at the hotel, perhaps walking out
>>100912Do you need some time to think Iron's new encounters/debating on whether you should make the light malfunction or not?
>>100914>>100726It was never stated that there was no treasure in this room, any more than it was stated that the were immovable, that there was nothing interesting on the walls, or that the painted wall panels
in front of Iron was solids or otherwise less interesting than the solid white limestone walls to Iron’s left and right
>>100912Before leaving the train, Brie pops back into Onyx and Sparks' room. "I have an idea!" he exclaims, seizing the 3 rifles (there were 2 carbines and a shotgun, one of the Lings had one of the carbines) and bundles them in his jacket.
He then uses his cloak's disguise ability to make the bundle of firearms look like a guitar case (desperado anyone? anyone?).
>>100915I think I get it now.Iron, for his part, looks back towards the wall he thinks has bypassed by using the stream in order to find any sort of switch or way to open.
(I would rather not break anything, as it could anger the gods.)
>>100918I don't know that they can't, the spell places a glamer on you and your possessions, and it works better when the possessions approximate the size and shape of the illusion.
TBH, I'm gonna try and pawn the guns off anyway since the Lings aren't proficient and Brie can't even use them since
>not unicorn, but it would be a shame for them to go to waste. The city seems urban enough that there's probably a seedy griffon shop that will take them
>>100912Eeyup, unless you were serious about
>>100893 >>100921I mean, Silver never asked anyone “hey, can you help me restore this gun to working order?” So they have to assume he was going to do it by himself
>>100920Okay, so Brie can make the set of guns covered in a coat
look like a guitar case to an outsider. What he cannot do is make it have the physical presence of a guitar case. That means he can’t just carry it by a handle unless he has done way to rig it like that
>>100922I mean, he was going to, but then everything happened.
So, I suppose this is where I ask: who would he ask, and would they accept? >>100922No, but he can lay it across his back?
>>100924Of he can secure it. Otherwise, it will just fall off when he moves
>>100923>>100927Don't worry, Silver. The guy will definitely want to make the zombies that killed his friends stop moving.
He'll gladly let you repair and clean your SMG using Skies and stuff.
Believe in yourself and don't overthink your sentence and you should be fine.
...It can't be this hard to solve your issues, are they?
Brie could use the bedsheets and his knives to carve up some rags to tie the things in his back while Silver stops overthinking the issue and ask to repair and clean the gun so that he can avenge the suspicious stallion's friend.
Come on gaiz! Believe in yourselves!
>>100934Oops. Guess that's what happens when you boop at random.
How's it going? I'm 'bout to have sum lunch
>>100935Gonna have something good?
>>100936Ricotta, squash and vegetable flavored ravioli with some good sauce. I'd say is bretty gud
>>100937Nice. I'm just having some bratwurst and mac n' cheese, myself.
>>100938>bratwurstinsert ghey joek hereIt sounds appetizing, although I never tasted it in my life. Not even the Mac n' Cheese, tbh.
>>100939It's a fairly 'Murican food combination, I think. It's pretty good.
>>100940Can't say I'll try it soon but it's good to know it exists.
So, is Silver going back to ask to fix the gun?
