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
