Occupied Equestria: Day 4 Afternoon
Anonymous

83002 83004
Set six years after season 6, Occupied Equestria presents an alternative history where Chrysalis chose a different approach to her second attack on Equestria. The Changelings have conquered half of Equestria, while a former Equestrian colony - soured to Princesses notion of harmony with all creatures thank to their dealing with griffins - Invaded and took the other half. In Baltimare and the Equestruan Southlands, the magic of friendship has weakened, as Communists, Changeling infiltrators, Fascists, gangs, and even ancient necormancers and dark gods threaten the city and the surrounding regions. 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.

Alright, those two will be easy enough to find.
So long as the others not poorly-designed background ponies, Sister Ash should hopefully be able to recognize the blank-flanks by their pastel color schemes.
Sister Ash spends the rest of the day helping around the orphanage. Caleb just rolls around in the yard near the forest, licking his own balls or whatever else dogs do when they're alone.

In the evening, before she leaves again, she makes sure to make some time to see Abby Willows again, like she said she would.

I would like for Sister Ash to talk to Abby before she leaves, since she said she'd visit her in the evening.
She should be just about finished with her second stack, if she kept her rate relatively constant. Sister Ash could be the one to bring her dinner.

"It could be, if changelings are indeed preparing for invasion, that they have done research into how to dream walk, like Luna does. If that is case, it could be they are trying to psychologically break will of ponykind to fight. But that is all hypothesis, nothing that we could yet prove, at least without enough similar stories from other ponies."

Silver leans back in his chair. "Nothing we can do about it in either case. Now, Blue: I remember you saying you were looking to hear more about me and my wife and children. I believe we have some time before Ash arrives, if you still wish to hear."

Iron is liking the rubbing and her sweet kiss. He sighs in her mouth, fully enjoying the ministrations. After 2 to 3 minutes, he breaks the kiss, under the impression that the other two mares deserve some kissing of their own for their efforts. Iron turns to the light green unicorn. "You are all damn good." He starts his kissing session with said mare, more passionate than the first one know he could go all out and with his closest foreleg wrapping the back of her neck, while stroking the mane and cheeks of the white-maned pegasus.

The pegasus' kisses are making an effect on Iron, but the gentle lifting of his tail breaks his concentration. He stops the kiss, albeit reluctantly. "You mares want the main course already?" Irom smiles seductively. "Well, show me to your room and we can be all to ourselves. What do you say?" His member already fully erected by the mares' performance to for the Earth mare to see. While her synchronicity is slightly off-putting to Iron, he decides that he cannot back down now, after going so deep into these mares.

Silver pulls out a picture from his bags, that of Silver and Storm, both young adults, Silver wearing his metal cuirass, Storm wearing a studded leather jacket. They look bloody and battered, but in high spirits, as if they just finished with a fight. "While in Ponyville, many years ago, I got hired by farmers there to help deal with problem they were having. There was group of brigands, all mares, who were harassing their caravans, stealing their supplies, their Bits, their food. They had tried hiring others before, this they told me, but none had ever come back, and attacks had continued. It was difficult job, they told me, but they were paying well to see somepony help them. I agreed to do job for them.

"It was fairly long journey to where they had last been seen, near wreckage of one of farmers' caravans, and hard, and why I was thankful it was not difficult to follow tracks of those who had tried and failed before to bring them to justice. I found their camp, and before long, they were already on me. There were three, all looking like they had experience with fighting off bounty hunters. They were tough, but I was stronger back then, and I was able handle them, even if they got couple good hits in on me. It took couple strong healing potions to recover after initial battle, and it gave me couple new scars to add to collection, but I made it. There were more, as I made my way deeper into their camp, all of similar toughness, but eventually I made it into their inner sanctum, circle of standing stones surrounded by tents of leader and her most trusted companions. And that is when I saw her.

"She was leader of these bandits, she said from her spot on top of highest stone. She had not seen anypony make it as far as I had. She wanted to test my mettle. So she offered deal: if I could beat her in single combat, she would order her mares to stand down, and to leave local farms alone. If she won, she would have new head to add to collection. She made point to flash her weapons at me. Two blades, hidden underneath her wings, shaped like feathers, sharp and subtle. As alternative was to decline and have to face all of them at once, I accepted.

"She flew down to ground. We started to circle each other, beginning what was to be dance of death. Once we had made full circle, we each struck. For what felt like hours, we attacked each other, blade against blade, metal against metal. She took couple hits. I took couple hits. We would withdraw. We would advance. We would feint. We would strike. Our bones splintered, our muscles ached, our lungs cried for more oxygen, our hearts beat hard like drums deep in our chests. Then, for briefest moment, as our weapons clashed once again, we locked eyes, and that is when we saw it. There was spark, one only those who are equals in combat ever see. Respect. Even looking back now, I can see spark in her eyes, feel spark in mine, as we realized we had met each others' match."
Holy hell, this might be split into two posts. I think I underestimated how long this is.

"For that briefest moment, neither of us acted. We just stood there, blades clashing, looking with wonder into each others' eyes, until we finally realized that now was time to act. As if universe had aligned, we both attempted to disarm each other at same time, and our weapons were thrown far from where we stood. We both reached for our knives...but I was faster. With my knife pressed to her throat, I commanded her for one last time to yield. She was beaten, there was nothing more she could do, or else risk being killed. With sigh, she yielded. As I released my blade from her neck, her companions moved to try to stop me from taking their leader, but she told them no. Reminded them what would happen to them if they made her go against her word. They backed off, but they were not happy. And they were not content to leave it at that, as I would latter figure out.

"Over next few days, I took her captive on journey back to Ponyville. If journey was hard before, though, it had become much harder. We came across much hazardous wildlife, both plants and animals. We almost died many times, and I was forced to allow her to aid in many fights by giving her back her weapons. She had many chances to kill me, and run off, but...she never did. Over course of our journey, we came to know each other better. We told stories, laughed at jokes. Grew closer to each other. Found feelings for each other. And we learned of each other's pasts, or at least what we were willing or able to share.

"She told me she had been raised by former leader of bandits since she was little filly, captured during raid on caravan near Cloudsdale. Their leader took her in after attack. She saw something in Storm. Perhaps she reminded her of herself when she was younger, perhaps she saw beginnings of skilled warrior in that young filly. Whatever it was, it made them raise her as their own. As she grew up under care of bandits, she had taught her how to fight as she did, how to hunt. How to figure out which targets were lucrative enough to risk attacking, and which were best to avoid. She taught her how to read, how to make potions. she took part in raids on caravans as she grow older. When she was 15, she had her first drink with her. She was closest thing to mother she ever had, and instilled in her sense of longing to be free mare, to choose how to live her life, rest of world be damned, even as rest of world became not so friendly place for such ideas. And she loved her for it, for all of it, not remembering much of her life before she was taken in. When her mentor died, she at 16 was chosen to lead group. And lead she did. They became rich, powerful, feared. But as years went by, she became bored of it all. Her opponents no longer posed challenge to her. She became tired with gold and gems. She wanted challenge, or, failing that, death. Anything to make her feel like she once did. Like she could be or do anything. So, she took greater risks, looking for new challenges from bounty hunters. As more and more feel, she grew to despair that none would be worthy to fight her. And then I came along.

"Few days after she told me this, we arrived at outskirts of Ponyville. It was here, she turned to me, and confessed: if she was going to give up her freedom, she would give it up to somepony she respected, somepony she understood. She did not want to live rest of her life in chains, or be hanged in dishonorable death. She gave me choice. Choice over her precious freedom: turn her in to authorities, or have her become mine, from then into forever. Perhaps it was stupid of me. Perhaps I was naïve, back then. But I could not deny that I had developed feelings for her, and that I had come to care for her. I accepted. And, thankfully, she did not try to betray me, or stab me in back and run off to her freedom, but instead, we embraced. She was happy, even if she no longer had her freedom. She gave me her mentor's hat to give to farmers as proof that I had dealt with problem, and after I had been payed, we went off to begin new life together."

Iron is able to kick away the pegasus on his rear

What he cannot do, is avoid the unicorn in front of him

With big black eyes, a mouth as wide as a plate, a tongue as long as a garden hose, and pencil like teeth, the unicorn kisses Iron. What happens when she makes contact is that her flesh dissolves into the wet and oily liquid that runs through Iron's mouth, into his throat, as well as onto his muzzle, and into his nostrils.

Silver's face falls into a small frown. "They...did not like, having their leader taken from them. They promised they would be back for their revenge. At time, I did not think much of it. After all, everypony said something along those lines, and after I did not hear anything about them for next 18 years, I thought they were either dead, or forgot about their revenge. But they were very much alive, and they did not forget. They went into hiding, training for coming battle, bidding their time until it was time to strike. When she was alone, and exposed.

"One day, in late spring, we decided to go camping. Me, Storm, and our three children: Silver Rain, Spectral Streak, and White Light. It was not yet too hot to do so, and we thought it would be fun family activity, something we had not done in short while. I kissed Storm, went to go get firewood for campfire, and..."

Silver looks fairly...hurt, telling this next part. He starts choking up at times. "...they arrived. They told her they were back for revenge. And what better way to hurt he who took away somepony they cared about than to...to take away somepony he cared about. I got story from Rain. She...s-she told our children to run, and not look back. But, Rain did look back, as he fled with Spec and White. He saw them fight. She tried her best, to fight them off, but they were too strong for her. She did not have any weapon with her to fight back besides her hooves. And...and..." If Silver had any tears left to cry, they have been cried a long time ago. But it doesn't stop him from looking sadder than Blue has ever seen him before. "...they cut her down. Just as I came back into view with firewood. They killed her. Stabbed right through chest, throat slit. There was...nothing...I could have done. She was dead long before I got to her." His foreleg starts to shake. "Then I felt this...rage...like nothing I had ever felt before. It was raging inferno, filling my entire being. It consumed me. My vision went red, so red I can not remember seeing anything but red, until...I snapped. I can not know what I did to them exactly, but they were both in pieces when I came to, carved up by ax I had brought to collect firewood, all scattered around camp."

Through out the telling of the first story, Blue can only give him questions that betray her lack of comprehension of the emotion behind the story. “Why would the equestrian military allow highwaymares run smock within eyesight of the capital for 20 years? Why would she agree to be captured when she had two allies in reserve? Why would you not disable or kill her right there? Why would she not kill you or run after your failure to disable her?”

"I begged, pleaded to all deities I knew of. Celestia, Luna, Harmony, the old gods and goddesses, those deities of lands I had only heard of. I prayed, to both those I was worthy of and those I was not, to bring her back to me. I held her bloody corpse in my embrace, myself covered in her blood, my blood, blood of highwaymares, as I cried harder than I ever did before. I promised anything and everything to bring her back. To suffer pain of thousand deaths. To weather weight of world on my shoulders. Anything to bring my angel, my Storm, back to me. But I did not hear anything back.

"Next day, I buried her in front of our house, facing east so she could always watch sunrise each morning, like we used to do while we were together. I fell into deep depression after that, lasting for couple years. It was only my foals, and my duty to take care of them, raise them, that kept me going despite that deep sadness in me, that hollow feeling I had now that she no longer was there. Without them, I do not know how I could have gone on."

If these highwaymares had a functional sense of self preservation, they would have killed you as soon as you turned your back to them. This idea that thieves would be so impressed by superior swordsmanship that they would follow you to the gallows... I would have hated to explain to the mothers of wagon drivers that their colts died because of the proud and fatal assumptions of bounty hunters. If I had been the highwaymare I certainly would have killed you for your hubris. It seems to have worked out well for you though. Very well in fact.”

He tries to shake it off, but she can see him smile. "Ah. It is nothing to apologize for. It was many years ago, and there was nothing you could have done to change outcome, obviously. I am glad to be able to share story after so long. And I still have my children, even if they have grown up and have lives of their own." His voice returns to a more somber note.

"I do not know, for certain. I have not heard from them since end of war." He pulls out three more photos, one for each of his children, grown into adults.

The first is labeled 'Silver Rain'. It's of a pegasus, wearing a dapper gambler suit and hat, looking like he'd fit right in in Las Pegasus. He looks strong, about as strong as Silver, a bit fluffy from the bits of exposed coat in the photo, and his wings even folded against his suit look like they're big and broad, and well suited for flying. His hooves look like they've been in many hoof fights before, even through the immaculate care that's been given to them. His hair is blown back naturally like his mother's. His eyes look like they have a fire inside them just waiting to be released. "Silver Rain was my oldest. Our firstborn. He was a feisty one, even when he could barely walk on all hour legs. He definitely inherited his mother's fury. You can see it in his eyes, so much like hers they were. Combined with strength he got from me, he would have made for fine warrior. But, he decided against that life, and after witnessing death of Storm...he changed, from what I knew. Before, he was always wanting to adventure, to see something new, but after, he became...distant. Left as soon as he was able, with only parting goodbye to me and his siblings. Last I heard, he was involved in some...unsavory business in Las Pegasus, though I am not sure if anything came from investigations or not."

The second photo is of another pegasus, labeled 'Spectral Streak'. He's leaner than Rain, and despite his slightly smaller wings he looks like he's faster than him, too, but the look in his eyes suggests that it's not just his body that's fast. In his steel gaze, he looks like he could see things faster than most ponies, like he could recognize the slightest of movement in an instant. His hair is cut short, like a military cut. In the photo, he's in an Equestrian military base, dressed up in an officer's uniform, with a scoped Lavender rifle at his side. The patches on his uniform, combined with the other equipment he carries, suggests he was a Captain in a recon company. "Spectral Streak. I saw so much of myself in him, even if he was not so strong. From his mother, he got her ability to laugh, and see joy in everything. He was always looking to fight, but unlike me, when he fought, he wanted it to be to protect others, to fight for those who could not. And even if he did not have my strength, he had more than double courage that Storm and I had. And he was good with rifle. Great, even. Perhaps one of best. In service, he was so lethal at range, his fellow soldiers had nickname for him: White Death. Funny, considering his sister's name. Last I heard, he was on Western Front, though it would not surprise me to learn if he had been recalled to East after New Mareland invaded to provide support for defensive forces."

The third photo is of a unicorn, labeled 'White Light'. She's a jaw-droppingly beautiful mare, with long hair tied up into ponytails and a smile that would melt even the coldest of hearts around her. She doesn't look very physically impressive, especially compared to her brothers, but her eyes carries an intelligence neither her father or mother has. She's wearing a set of mage's robes worn by head mages of the Equestrian Mage's Guild. "White Light. My daughter. I do not know where she got it from, but she was probably smartest pony I have ever known. She could figure out answers to questions in very short amount of time. She always wanted to learn, to find out something new. On her own, she was good with magic, but with spellbook in front of her, she was able to do anything. And she loved to laugh, even more so than Spec. Her laughter could brighten up anypony's day. Last I heard, she was in Canterlot, doing research for Equestria into combat spells to help during war."

I was a very young foal when that happened. But he did not want the same to happen to me and forbade me from doing that. And I obeyed, as I didn't see the point in some of the jousting.

He showed what a pegasus could be, and to see his piety beneath the great Doric columns of the temple of Bellerophron... To see my mother in formation with the other hoplites across clear blue skies... There was something inspiring about the setting.

Her right wing is extended out towards Dark Star, and she resumes her trademark smile with new confidence from Dark Star’s remarks. With permission from Silver’s glance she moves a little away from the table, exposing her frame and her right hind leg to him. Her neck is slim, and though her chest is large and does not show the ribs, with just a few tufts of fur, her barrel is more slender around her barrel. It’s a body shape that is more normal for larger equines like Alicorns, but less common for smaller ponies. Her hips are fairly wide and her right thigh is far from scrawny. Her right hind leg is slender, with small tufts of fur around her fetlocks, and well trimmed hooves. Her tail is long and straight, and of the same French Sky Blue color as her mane, though it does not touch the floor. Her wings, and where they meet her back have as much muscle mass and her hind legs. Her left wing is extended so far that it is the length of the table, now going around Dark Star, and they are wide as well. While it would be very presumptuous to say that she is the most beautiful mare Silver has seen in his long and well traveled life (sans his wife of course). What would be fair to say is that she tries to be pretty, and it has had some payoff. She smells of lavender... or is that Dark Star?

"Indeed, Dark Star is lucky stallion." He tries and mostly fails to hide the fact that he does indeed find her to be gorgeous, and probably one of the prettier mares he's met, mostly for Dark Star's sake rather than anypony else's. Storm Warning, however, still stays the most beautiful mare Silver's ever seen, bar none.

"And much like pegasi, unicorns were integral part of not just special forces, but of all divisions. Mage companies helped to keep our armies healthy and protected in addition to fighting on front lines, and in peacetime, unicorns helped to pioneer many technologies with help from earth pony ingenuity."

Blue Skies, for her part, makes no effort to hide how she revels in the attention. She if goes at Dark Star’s remarks. Whereas before her right though had been crossed left over the bottom of her belly, while her leg hung out towards the right, she moves her right stifle outwards, allowing a full view of her barrel between her thighs and her two small teats. Then she crosses her left leg over her right stifle, an act that makes it easier for her to lean towards Dark Star, to her left. Should he look at her flanks, he can see her cutie mark: a sword or knife with golden wings around it

“Oh I know. I’ve been told many times of these mixed units. ‘Combined arms’ they call it. It is good to make the best of what you have. Because if Equestria had had enough Pegasi to fill its divisions with only Pegasi, they would have won”

"Perhaps. Then again, weaponry and tactics required to bring down changeling panzers does not suit pegasus flight quite like it does unicorn magic. I have heard tales of some unicorns' spells being strong enough to disable or even outright destroy panzers, should they manage to hit their magazines, treads, or other weak spots."

He doesn't try to spend too much time looking at her teats out of respect for Dark Star and his relationship with Blue, but he does note that they're the typical size he would expect for a pegasus of her stature, and that they're of a similar beauty to the rest of her body. What he does take an interest in is the mark on her flanks. "Your talent mark. How did you earn it, if I may ask?"

Fug it. I'll try to tell it like it is from the perspective of the Catholic-hippie-pangan-taoist-buddhist-dragonkin persona I've created.

Sister Ash pauses for some time, still holding Abby to her fluff as she strokes the little filly's mane.
".. The world, as it is, isn't a very safe place..." She says, after a minute
".. It can be frightening, cruel, and unfair, full of dangerous crestures; you had to learn that the hard way..." She continues
"But the world isn't terrible either.. It's bountiful and full of beautiful things; full of mysteries and magick in every corner of the realm. There's plenty in the world to be afraid of, but that just means there's so much more worth protecting..."
She nudges the filly slightly
".. Like you.." she says, softly
".. There's so much in this world worth protecting: the trees in the valley, the meadows, the ponies running through them.. There's so much to keep safe, but only so many ponies who can do it..."
Then she pauses, as if unsure how to continue
"Nopony can protect everything all on their own, but everypony has something they want to protect.. Some ponies want to protect their country, others want to protect themselves, for some it's their family, and for others it's only themselves.. Protecting things is part of what makes life meaningful; what keep ponies going in this beautiful and dangerous world. The thing you want to protect defines what you are, but you don't have to decide that so early on...."
"The Sisters in this abbey are all here, because they've chosen to protect.. They want to protect you, and your friends, even if they can't always do it all themselves.. Foals like you.. aren't at an age when they can completely protect themselves, so they need help, from grown-ups, and from eachother.. You weren't completely wrong about being helpless, but you'll grow up one day, and then you'll have something you want to protect too..."
Then she turns the filly to make eye contact with her
"..But in the meantime.. Please let us try again to protect you.. Okay?" She asks, almost pleadingly

She laughs
“Oh yes, let grounded ponies fight winged Changelings. Please, unless a unicorn has a special talent as a tank destroyer, they are not of much more use than any other pony. Against the more more modern machinations de la guerre you want nothing less than equal machines. Anti tank guns, bombers, artillery, other tanks.”

“My cutie mark?” She smiles, takes her left leg and moves it down, showing her teats again, and it may be noted that their size implies that she has never been pregnant. She moves her right stifle in, and once again her right flank faces silver, allowing him to see her cutie mark right side up

“This happened as I was with a group of fillies in school. During the summer they would take us out for mock excercises. Like a sort of foretaste of the agoge trials we would take when we were older. One of the exercises was to decide the foals into teams, and go out into the woods and try to take the flag from the opposing team’s base. I separated from my group, and found their little base soon enough, though they had many guards. I managed to sneak around them, and take it right under their noses. When I got back to base, I had the flag in hoof, and this on my flank. The opposing team was genuinely baffled as to how I had find it. It relieved my mother, as I had been among the last in my age group to get her cutie mark.”

"I can't say I have much experience with Western Changelings before Chrysalis, so I cannot speak to them. But I can say that the Eastern hives tended to keep to themselves. I heard in Farbrook they would walk through the streets, no disguise, and ask ponies for love, usually through a trade. That was of course before it was discovered that Changelings were monsters and that stopped. Some of the more aggressive hives would send out disguised changelings to other lands, or swap foals. None would raid in swarms."

"Changelings here were..." He seems to struggle to find the right word. "...let us say 'isolated'. They had prejudices against ponykind, believed that ponies could never truly accept them for what they were. Equestrians were prejudiced against changelings, believing them to have something to hide. No one knows where it started, or who started it, but we had been at odds for many years. It was rarer than rare for those two to interact openly. Sometimes, it was peaceful. At other times...not so much. Changelings, instead, for the most part preferred to stay silent, and separate, only interacting through their disguises to acquire love for their hives, which were often very far from civilization. There were stories, of course, of them stealing foals from homes, but back then one could argue it was just stories meant to frighten young foals and naïve ponies. Now, I am not so sure, myself.

"Either way, I imagine many Equestrians would gladly take these changelings of East, these ones you speak of having been in Farbrook, over what we have to deal with now. Even with our misgivings about these bugs"

"500 years is long time. It is half lifespan of Equestria. In that time, they have developed their own culture, their own history. They developed their own accents to speak. They have developed their own denominations of Celestialism. They have their own flora, and fauna, that they recognize and study. They made their own businesses. They have their own holidays. They had their own laws. By time they had declared their independence, all that linked New Mareland to Equestria was that we were both nations of ponies, and that long ago, we were one. Fairly flimsy link, as you have pointed out.

"New Mareland is New Mareland. Equestria is Equestria. In end, they are just as foreign to us as we are to them. And as they would not want to be ruled by us Equestrians, we Equestrians do not want to be ruled by them."

"When the body is deprived of food for too long, it starts to cannibalize itself, destroying its own organs for sustenance. The intestines are among those.

"Celestia being a dirty griffin lover would explain why the New Marelanders thought that they needed a new government certainly.

Now, let me see if I can get you straight. You worship a God-emperor who was never elected, and is questionably even from the normal ponies to begin with. And for a thousand years She allowed disharmony and conflict within her Empire. She herself is too weak to fight back the world ending terrors that invade every year, be it Chrysalis the first time, Discord, Tirek, or the Storm King. Then, recently, she appoints a new princess, who is competent enough in her role... but who herself takes as an adviser who was a psychopathic leftist dictator who would systematically remove harmony magic from ponies as a way of bringing 'harmony.' And after she takes this new adviser, Equestria ceases its isolationism, but tries to convert its neighboring nations to its philosophic doctrine under the theory that they would take it in kind.

And so when the Reformistin begin murdering eastern ponies en masse, this means nothing to Celestia. When mass immigration of griffons causes social disruption in New Mareland, this means nothing to Celestia. When the successor states of the Griffonian empire were overthrown by dictators and revolutionaries and began to expand, this was not concern for Celestia. But a pony nation trying to take active measures against the threats... this is outrageous?

And so, they declare war on their old subjects. They are then invaded by their neighbors. They get their asses handed to them utterly. And then with this self caused catastrophe they point the blame to anycreature but themselves"

They conquered pony land and set up oppressive knightly regimes. They appointed bandits as border guards. Are the Eastern ponies life not worthy of life to you? Do you care not for us? Are we too far away? But never mind that, because it wasn't the Griffonian Empire that was New Mareland's problem. It was the myriad successor states. Those were ruled not only by your beloved greedy nobles, but by iconoclastic griffin revolutionaries, and power hungry dictators"

Silver glares at her, and keeps his voice low. It's clear he's trying to keep from getting angry at what she's saying. "We did what we had to do. We did what we had to do to keep Harmony alive. Because we knew what would happen if it died. We already know what would happen, because it is happening now. There is no peace, only war. No life, only death. We look at our neighbors with suspicion. We stop believing in friends, in allies. All we see are enemies. There is no respect between nations and peoples, only distrust and hatred.

"Say what you will about what we have and have not done. But we had reason to do so. We tried to keep this world from falling apart into chaos and disharmony. We tried to preserve Harmony because we knew what we could build with it. And then New Mareland decided to invade Equestria. And now Harmony is dying, because last bastion of Harmony, its last protector, is gone. New Mareland has done nothing since it declared independence but declare war, after war, after war. You can not build with war. Only destroy. And, if New Mareland is not conquered by those who also seek to declare war, once there is no one left to wage war against, New Mareland will declare war on itself, and be destroyed."

Well, it also is more muscular and big, becuase muh natural strength and all, has a very uncombed mane instead of that well-maintained one Quibble has in the pic and maybe has another accent, but I should look a bit further for a comparison, so it sticks for now, cause it's a funny accent.

This was Dark Star's idea. Sister Ash wanted to wait until the morning, and ask about it then.
Even now, she had no actual intention of just sneaking in, but it seems she's along for the ride now.

It's a pleasing sensation to Silver. "OOOoooOOOooo…" He tries to get around the effect it's having on his voice as he starts to speak. "I do not know what I could say about her to do her justice. She was...stunning. Her sleek grey coat carried all danger and beauty of storm with it, her blown-back black mane was like night sky right before lightning struck, like it was sucking all light and energy into one single strike. And her mane and tail had this golden stripe, shaped like lightning bolt, running through them. When she flew, you could have sworn she conjured lightning behind her. Her cloud-grey wings had gradient to them, like camouflage in clouds. They shined when wet from rain and dew, and if she flew in sunlight just right, she could form rainbow like it was fresh after rainstorm. And her eyes...they held hurricanes in them, beautiful blazing glory, fury of thousand thunderstorms. But behind this fire, you could find peace, and calm. It was literally eye of storm."

She must be fanning him with her great wings, because the air is definitely cooler. She tries to rub around the areas of the scars, careful that she might disturb something sensitive

He stares in awe at the great feathery masses. "It was learning experience, for both of us. We drew mostly on experiences we had growing up at first, but that did not last very long at all and we decided we needed some better guide. Thank goodness books on parenting exist. And at first, perhaps she was unsure of herself and her ability to see it through, but she got through it. Every day with her foals became like adventure to her. New kind of adventure, to be sure, but seeing it like that really did seem to help. It also helped that, as they grew older and became able to take care of themselves as we were away, we would take time to go out on adventures together. Nothing too dangerous, where there was risk of leaving our foals without parents, just something to mix things up from time to time."

After making sure she wasn't a member of Chrysalis's hive? He would naturally view it as a betrayal of his trust, and would need to build it back up again. He'd be able to understand why she had a disguise, though, and if she she revealed her true identity willingly, it would certainly be a good step towards softening the blow.

I get the feeling it wouldn't have that much of an effect on Iron, though.

You would be right. Let's just say it's a kink of his. A species that subsists on lust and care for mares is a juicy offer for him, but he would take it to the next level if he could procreate and have children with them. Thankfully I should last longer than most with the endurance feat.

I'm not doing this to fuck with Skies. That's just my opinion, concerning the 3 tribes' relationship.
Pegasi are really helpful with weather to an extent, but they're not really pivotal in the Equestrian nation.

If Ash returns to the tavern, that’s like 40 minutes round trip, and an hour if she leaves with the rest of the group after the group waited 40 minutes to leave. That means either that 1.

Well, a way to shorten this is to mobilize early if that's the case, then we meet Ash on the way back, but we're going to need Silver, Star and Spark to move out. This way we should have saved more time than if we wait for her to come. Skies can help by, you know, not massaging Star and looking at the time. She seems like the mare to be impatient.

Judging from a set of headlights on the road behind the booth, it looks as if reinforcements have indeed arrived. However, the guard's tone has calmed down. It's almost as if putting up with drunk ponies who want to pull rank is something he deals with literally daily and considers to be a part of the job.

Iron feels the guard will crack soon. "You do not need to fear me. I am a gentlestallion who tries to help mares in need. I will not try to take advantage of your body. I am not like that. Trust me. Hiding your true self will make you bitter and lonely in the long run. You need to come out soon or you will lose yourself, unable to recover and feel happiness again." He keeps trying, as gently as possible, to pet him.
Reinforcements are probably laughing at the 'drunk' earth pony and the afraid guard in there.

Jewelry, mare's socks and panties. Nothing of much interest. Deeper in the dressers are more clothes. On the top of the dresser is a framed picture of a husband and a wife in some exotic seaside location, and a candle.

Silver hits himself in the face a couple of times like he's trying to bat something away from him. Whatever it is, it must already be gone. "Fucking Celestia-damned spiders..." Another involuntary shiver passes through his body. His clothes are sticking close to his form.

Indeed, this thought passes through his mind, and though he can't ever remember seeing a pool in Saint Petershoof, he remembers a dare he once did as a young and fairly stupid teenager in which he jumped into a local creek in the dead of winter.

Okay, so Iron is extremely intent on getting the police called even though he's already served his purpose as a distraction. I guess I should let him

>>84535
>>84533
The problem Iron has with punching the shotgun guard is that there is a physical barrier between himself and the guard that blocks part of the way, and places him out of swinging range. It used to be a complete barrier, but Iron broke through the window. Now, he would need to climb over the barrier to close range. I guess he could just simply jump over it, and maybe, maybe he could do that with a move action, meaning he can punch in the same round. He would need a dice roll each for the jump and for the punch, and would also need to go back outside to the other two guards. Because jumping over the barrier is a complex action, I don't think he could do that simply as a surprise. He would need to roll for initiative against the guard

Because both the attack roll and most importantly damage Igor unarmed attack is determined by strength. Very importantly also, Silver does not have the +2 damage and +1 attack to unarmed attack that Iron does. The lack of weapon specialization and thr lack of strength makes the whole engagement lopsided in favor of Iron, even with slightly higher defensive stats like HP and AC. You need offense to win a fight, and Silver couldn’t quite compete

I'll disregard the whole 'sex performance' part of the book and just focus on values con focuses on like endurance. Str is more to have a little powerplay between the two than an explicit rule in that book, not that I remember if there was.
>>84597
It's like you just said. It's a pretty good guide on how characters interact with the situations they are dealt with. That is why I said something about Silver's possible bad rolls on Silver & Storm's fight, since it's a justification for subpar performance on attacks. When you ground it in these numbers, the fight itself gains more value since you can imagine how the fight went through the dice. I'd say it's more inmersive for the players reading that way.

If there is any kind of hidden anything, it is not immediately apparent to Silver. Carbon build up in the back implies that it is indeed functional as a fireplace. There is also an opening above to the chimney flue

I'll go AFK for a bit. Iron's last move should be to leave the premises and wait the others inside a social building close to the neighborhood itself. I mean any places that a strong stallion would not stick out like a sore thumb, like bars and taverns.
>>84623
>stallions who wanted to be mares
I suppose I went too far with the whole 'true identity' spiel to be labelled as a cross-dresser. Surprising since Iron does not even resemble a pony who tries to change his appearance to look like a mare.
Or maybe it's the guard that's shitting itself, having been planted the doubt in her mind, and the others are trying to reassure him that he's a stallion.

Would you rather he just be referred to as a “homosexual”? The guards are blue collar working class in a conservative is changing society. They don’t care for the distinctions and subtleties of different queer identies, they just see a pony who to them is unnatural. The guard’s reaction was based in part on the Airforve captain in Dr. Strangelove who out of nowhere accuses Colonel Mandrake of being a “pre-vert.” He obviously does not want to take time out of doing his job, which he is on the clock for, to start to think about various sexual and gender identities. To him, you are all fucking weirdos

>>84635
No formal police. Three guards, altogether, all on the entranve and by a major road, illuminated by lights, and far away from the target house

>>84628
Well, it’s dark, but sure. If he is looking for them

For over a thousand years, the Caltrop has been a weapon of choice. Simply litter a battlefield with these spikes, and you can disable any horse that happens to step on one. Around 1000, a sadist by the name of Old Kirk Celestinesen from Denmare invented something even more painful if steped on. And one such of these evil devices has ended up squarely under the frog of Silver's hoof

Be advised that the other two guards are watching as they never left (because Onyx and iron never left), Capital murder is taken seriously by the police unlike more basic crimes, this will result in a kind of 'mission failed' for at least a few player characters by causing the news of the night to be about a murder, there really is no reason to attack the guards lethally or not because they are extremely distracted from the actual burglaries, and this could only attract unwanted attention by police. So basically there is absolutely no set of facts under which this results in a good outcome for anyone, as even if all three guards are stopped before they can alert police their uniforms will be bloody, and the bodies and blood will be in a public area where people normally drive through and out, likely discovered within 15 minutes

Mostly successful. The demon toy is removed

Sorry, there are two distinct factions who have given two distinct missions:
The order of Saint Prancis Orphanage wants missing foals back. Rescue the lost foals

The Blackhooves of Baltimare want a scandal exposed. Specifically, they want evidence that will justify a search warrant and catch some asshole politician in a crime, which they hope will weaken the politician's party. So collect evidence of scandalous shit
Murdering a guard will be unhelpful to the Blackhooves mission, because they won't be willing to go public with the information if it is obvious an innocent bystander was killed in order to get it. it would make the Blackhooves look bad
Obviously, Brie can steal shit from rich people in the process. This is actually kind of useful to both missions because it makes it look like the break-in was just a normal burglary

Iron almost assaulted one of the guards. This is the reason they stay together rather than separating. He spooked them before Brie showed up. This is actually kind of helpful to the break-in, because it prevents the guards from spreading out and patrolling, which of course keeps them from discovering evidence of any break-in

Definitely a relationship. It seems to be that of a father and colt. There is a picture of a colt and some older unicorn stallion with pinkish coat, holding a participation trophy in what looks like a pinewood derby race

"Socialism" by Freedrich Angels, and "In the Ricefields" by Fillip Redguard

Sample
"I know, my dear Cheese, that you are concerned about the effects of this 'gag order,' as you call it, in stifling our ability to speak against the injustices of the occupying regime. However, I tell you that it is not a censorship of ourselves, so much as an essential step for our self-preservation. The fascists have shown that they will remove anyone who stands in the way of their power, and would effortlessly do the same to us were we to point out the injustices of their regime in foreign affairs. There would be no benefit in being martyrs for freedom of speech and the press, as there are plenty of martyrs already. There are enough martyrs to fill several volumes of books. We must bide our time, and have faith"

You know what? Fuck it. Silver gets a quickrundown of "Three theories of sexuality." The first section concerns sexual abberations: Where the sexual object deviates from the sexual aim. In the discussion of the sexual object, it concerns itself with sexual perversions. This is of course only a small portion of the book. Essentially, this is a psychology/philosophy book he is looking at

The Psychology of Sexuality, in a quick glance, claims among other things that it is false to believe that foals have no sexual desire to them. Rather, sexuality is expressed even from the earliest ages. It also talks about auto-eroticism in both foals and yearlings. Another section concerns same-sex appeal. Another Philosophy/psychology book, basically

He can see the frame of a painting. The painting inside has been cut out. Inside of a dresser there is jewelry, mare's socks and panties. Deeper in the dressers are more clothes, for male and female. On the top of the dresser is a framed picture of a husband and a wife in an exotic seaside location somewhere north, and a candle that smells of cream. On the nightstand is a copy of "Ponies and Prejudice" opened midway upside down, a pair of reading glasses, a lamp, and a framed picture of a father and a pinkish colt. There is a check inside of a drawer on a nightstand

So about $320,000, going by 2019 rates of $1000 per ounce. Real estate is expensive! This also means that a single gold bit is worth $320, implying high inflation. Even a blue-collar worker earns triple-figure salaries.

A level 1 NPC owns $288,000 and a level 2 owns $640,000 in assets. Seems to me our characters could open a portal to an earth-like setting and they'd be filthy rich.

I guess so? For Silver, something like this is fairly normal for him, even if what you've seen so far says otherwise.

It's only just recently I've found a way to articulate the reason why Silver's marked as being True Neutral even though the actions he's taken in the game thus far are much closer to Lawful Good: The Lawful Good Silver? The pony who donates to charity, gives romance advice to friends, who sticks to his principles and fights for those he cares for, was a loving husband and father for 18 years? That's the pony Silver wants to be, and wishes he could be. The True Neutral Silver? The pony who robs a mare of her jewelry without nary a thought, who has no remorse over brutally slaughtering those who killed his wife or just normally killing in general, who stays loyal to the contract and to Bits, who fights for little more than personal gain? That's the pony Silver is, and has been for a very long time. Try as he may to be good, until something significant happens to make him seriously reconsider his life choices, or until somepony manages to convince him to try to change his ways, he'll always revert back to that baser instinct, to the True Neutral Silver: the pony who knows how to fight, and choses to fight for himself.

Or I just suck at this. Who knows?

Silver's fairly basic: silver-grey coat, medium grey mane, blue eyes. He's also got a dark grey dorsal stripe running along his back from his mane to his dock. Have you ever seen a picture of a mustang horse? It's a bit like that. If you need it, his cutie mark should be a sword swinging in a downwards arc.

Storm's pretty stereotypical for a pegasus: dark grey coat, black mane, yellow eyes. She's got a wide yellow lightning stripe in her mane. Cutie mark is a forked lightning bolt.

For a GM, that's true. If every PC is a jerk, then the GM will find it harder and harder to entice the PCs into questing without sacrificing the story. The players are a bit different, since they want to do some stupid shit sometimes, or else they will eventually lose interest in the game by acting like serious goody-two shoes all the time.
This may just be me projecting my ideas and pretending all of the party agrees with them

Silver trots forlornly back down the stairs, the weight of his guilt weighing him down considerably more than he expected. Every step he takes with the stolen possessions, every moment that passes, he feels it becomes more difficult to breathe.

As he steps in front of the dresser in the master bedroom once again, he pulls out the necklace and the brooch. He stares at them, a mental battle being waged in his mind. One second, he'll make a motion like he's going to return the jewelry. The next, he'll move to put them back in his bags. And for a third second, they'll return to a neutral state.

Memories, meanwhile, come to mind and pass like the wind. Memories of him doing bad things, terrible things, in his past. Memories of him in which he tried to do something better, to be better. Memories of her. Of Storm. And them together.

After a few seconds of this, he sighs, and tosses them back into the dresser. "This is not right...I...she...she would want me to be better than...this. Whatever 'this' is." The weight feels lifted off his chest. He feels like he can breathe once more. He turns for the stairs back to the attic once more, only offering one lass look back at the dresser before making his way back to Dark Star.

"It is not worth it, to lose what little I have left."

Maybe if she was a bandit for a year as a thrill seek like a rich kid wants some excitement in his life. Not when she basically grew up to be a bandit. I suppose the one reason to leave the bandit life and settle as a normal mare is when she has children who can be used as targets for others to exploit, forcing her to act as non-intrusive and cocky as possible, so no stealing.

"Ah, let us start with that, then. Preening is way pegasi take care of their wings. It usually serves three purposes: remove loose or damaged feathers from wings, clean healthy feathers of dirt and sweat that accumulates over time, and cover them with natural oils to protect them from elements. Adult pegasi can do this on their own, but those in intimate relationships are known to preen each other, and it is usually seen as very intimate act. I have had some experience in this, as I was married to Storm for 18 years, so if you want, I could try to teach you how to preen Blue."

Silver laughs a bit more. He feels almost younger, teaching Dark Star like this. Makes him feel like he's teaching his own sons, again.

Silver starts to teach Star how to preen, or at least as well as he can as a unicorn can teach an earth pony without any visual aid. He describes how to root around in a pegasus's wing to locate loose feathers and very gently pull them out with his teeth, how to use both his snout and his tongue to clean the dirt and grime off of healthy feathers, and how to spread the natural oils secreted in the wings and wingpits throughout the feathers to add a nice, protective layer. He also goes into surprising detail about how the oils secreted by a pegasus's wingpits are absolutely loaded with pheromones, and just how effective it is in "exciting" the male member, and getting a pony "in the mood to reproduce".

Silver nods. "Indeed. It is supposed to prepare couple for intercourse, get both members in mood. There were many times when I would preen Storm and take large whiff from her wingpits, and it would be like punch to face, that scent of her pheromones. It becomes especially potent during estrus." He blushes a little in embarrassment as he continues. "Normally, I would have to wait until near end of preening to do so. It would not take long for my mind to go to mush thinking about nothing but rutting her, and for feeling of my, eh...'Splitting Sword'...popping out of its sheath and slapping against her back to make us both go crazy with lust."

It usually will always smell somewhat like mixture of sweat and musk, but there is also something...unique, something I can not quite describe. All I can come up with is it smells bit like sex, or energy, except more...potent."

Star notices Silver shifting around a little where he's sitting. Apparently all of this talk about pheromones has got him worked up a bit. "I highly recommend it. I would offer to help guide you through process, but I am not sure how much my help would be welcomed. I...also would not want to...intrude...on any, eh, 'private' moments that occur between you two."

Basically, Silver just dumped that pegasi has pheromones at the underbase of their wings which stimulate sexual interaction and reproduction when preening. Essentially an aphrodisiac of sorts.

Survival is his main class skill as a Ranger. That's what Rangers do; they Survive. A lot of his potential abilities would be dependant on Survival.

Who knows? It may be just taken from a clopfic somewhere online. I think it's a common headcanon that pegasi has close ties with birds and I think some bird mating habits involve their wings. Apart from that, I'm unsure how did Silver's player come up with that.

I don't think very many birbs have olfactory hormone glands though. They mate mostly through sound and sight, rather than through pheremones.
Pheremones aren't as big for birbs as they are for other creatures.

Ah, but pegasi are mammals so that explain pheromone use. Combine it with some preening habits and you're golden.

And for the birds that do, they're located at the base of the tail. Most mammals have their scent glands on their rears as well.
Horses have vestigial scent glands on their legs and elbows. The spot is called the Chestnut.

I wanted to base her color patterns off of Mother Teresa's trademark White and Blue habit, which is the symbol of the Missionaries Of Charity. I thought some kind of blue trim could look good on her mane, but otherwise I'd make it a blue-green Jade color.
Her scales are yellow/gold, maybe rosegold, and her hooves were supposed to be gray/silver. The golden color of her scales makes it look like she's wearing armor.
Her coat is supposed to be pearly whites, or perhaps a very light gray. I wanted to keep it pale, to contrast the clothes she normally wears, or her black coat when she's angry.

Idk, the solid blue color doesn't really fit her. I thought her mane would be mostly white/silver, like mist, with a bit of blue on it. The blue doesn't really need to be very apparent so long as it's there. As for the shape, I thought it'd be similar to Autumn Blaze's, with the swirls/stripes and all, only it'd be looser and silkier; less dense, but still long.
Also, while we're posting other ponies vectors. Here's one that made me think of similarities.

I had planned to shoop a vector myself once I finally got a new laptop.

And yeah, that one looks pretty male.
If there were any distinguishing physical feature about Sister Ash, it would be that she's relativey small and frail.

That is an odd correlation...

I didn't want Ash to have so much blue in her mane or body though. Just a dash of dark blue on a gray-silver mane, instead of mostly light blue.
