Welcome back to Occupied Equestria, an RP set in a conquered Equestria, using D&D 3.5e mechanics, and based in large part on the My Little Pony mod for Hearts of iron 4, Equestria at War

The party has successfully stopped the Communists of Baltimare from importing guns and foreign advisers in preparation for a revolt. They have also raided a Griffin freighter involved in arms trafficking, and are prepared to leave and end their long night.

There's no way for that to happen. She would be a hypocrite for that shit, after all "no snitch policy" and she is involved since she has 1500 bits of that purchase that I have given her. So yeah, it's pointless for her to do that unless she becomes suicidal or something.

Don't underestimate the GM. He can pull the strings to make something happen if you don't play it carefully. You are in a crowded bar. Maybe somepony there puts two and two together. Who knows?

I'm not. I just pointed out that the GM should not use Cauldron herself as a conflict-maker. Or a snitch. Maybe this is more plausible, maybe have some of Cauldron's friends from her gang come and try to beat me up or worse, shoot me for angering her.
>>73942
Eh, it's not THAT suicidal. At least not that much. Oh, you are all giving me so many possibilities of consequences. Maybe in jealousy, she sends a hitmare at all kirin I come across in an attempt to shit on me. I sure did open a giant floodgate of consequences. Let's see what he picks, if I do not defuse the situation of course.

I suggest you don't try to catch the GM's attention. I think I screwed something in the narrative and the GM needs to improvise with the bullshit I threw on the table. I guess it's a good roll to increase value by 150%.

She gets up from her seat. By this time you can see that quite a few bar patrons are staring at the scene, from the bartender to ponies passing by to the big burly Minotaurs and Diamond Dogs playing pool in the back. She yells
"What was that for? You tell me out of the blue that you love someone but you want to fuck me? Do you think I am some tramp? Do you think I am some cheap whore you can have sex with when the little Celestial girl doesn't want to sleep with you?

She is a bit surprised by this, but she quickly leans into it, and places a hoof around Dark Star's neck. She continues kissing him, until she pulls away and says
"I guess we could find a hotel room, if you're not too tired"

Characters that know what they want to do and proactively seek that get more encounters. For example, Ash wanted to find an orphanage, and found the Order of Saint Prancis with all of its various sisters. Onyx wanted to get a loaf of bread, and so found a colt shilling communism, then got roped into protection duty, and then murdered someone, then went to the hospital, then got arrested, and then got arrested again by a different agency. Ash went to find Iron, rolled a 1 on tracking, and found a guy with a dire wolf she is trying to heal. And so forth

City Hall is a very large marble rectangular buiding, with 4 floors, a vaulted green roof, and a dome in the center, in a Neocolonial style. A public fountain is in a square before the building. There are bronze Manticore statues on either side of the steps that lead up to a large entrance to the Structure on the second floor.

As he goes through the front door he can see the building's interior. The floor is tile with an ornate pattern of the sun, with rays flowing out from the center. A large hallway goes off to the left, another to the right, and another forwards. Though the area of the entrance has a ceiling going up 20 feet, there is a railing for a hall of the second floor. To the left of the center is a portrait of the current Mayor: Larry Berry, a dark looking unicorn. Now, what is he looking for?

Quest givers, not locations
The room must be open to the public, because he is able to simply open the door and walk in. There is no pony to greet him, and this room must not be in use at this exact time. He can see a large semi circular table of solid hardwood Okay, maybe not solid, but it looks like it with big black tall chairs. On the open side of that semicircle is a wooden desk elevated well above the rest, in a way kind of like a judge's chair and stand in a court room. There is a small wooden wall behind the wooden semicircle, with a number of wooden rows, again like a courtroom. When a pony is asked, "The Aldermares are the elected City Council of Baltimare. They pass legislation in managing city affairs"

The moment I took a nap on the keyboard you respond? What timing

Iron shakes his head. "I already told you that I would not take you because of your responsibilities. You do not know how important it is for me that I even considered you." Iron stands up. "Do you even know why I could have chosen you? Because you are a great mother. It is not because you are just good looking. You are better than just a little statuette to decorate and play with on the side. The act of coitus is really important to me, because I choose the mares that go back to my home with me through it. I basically admitted that you are worthy to me, but... I cannot take you with me," Iron looks to the side, somewhat frustrated "unless you drop everything and leave, and I know you cannot do that. Family is more important than love."

After hearing this, Cauldron still appears angry, but calmer than she was before. She no longer seems to be intentionally provoking a response from other patrons in the bar.
"And so that is how you show affection? You say 'hey, there's some other fillie that's better than you, but if you want to have just sex let's go fuck? Do you think that I would feel 'blessed' to have the privilege of being a side bitch, your side bitch? Do you think that is what I want to tell my father when I see him next? 'Hi Cauldron, did you find a nice stallion? No, but I got to be the sperm dumping ground of some native who told me he'd rather have some dragon girl'"
There are definite tones of sarcasm

"I already told you. I would have chosen you if you were not so tied down by responsibilites out of your control. Besides, there are no side... 'beet-cheese', only mares who are worthy to bear children and ones who are not." Iron scratches the back of his head a bit too strongly, making small screeching sounds. "The mere act of intercourse is such a sign of commitment and the most important choice on my land, and I believe you could be part of it if so many resposibilities did not weigh you down. The act of sex you denigrate is my way of showing affection of the highest level. It shows that I care enough to bind myself to you through the bearing of a child. To have the physical embodiment of love through the existence of a foal. Did you expect me to just leave you after the deed is done? Like I said, you are better than just a plaything. You are more than a toy. You are a mother, one of the best mothers one could ask for, and there are not a lot of mares who can compare." Iron sighs and looks at the empty glass. "Maybe I just wanted to be with you and I could not, so I downgraded our relationship to mere friends and believed you would not mind a bit of wishful thinking of mine." Iron looks to Cauldron, ears drooped. "I guess you do not feel like we are friends, but something more as well, and I hurt you for telling you my frustrations because maybe you feel them too."

"Because I felt powerless to take you with me." Iron looks down. "I know that without you sacrificing everything else for me, it would not work out. I simply wanted to vent my frustrations with you because I know you care about me." Iron then looks at the glass again. "I feel like I have no chance of getting you to go with me forever because you are tied down by all the responibilities you have. I do not want your body, but you, the pony, and it is impossible in your current situation. That is why I lost hope of being with you. Why I thought you did too. It is an impossible love. I know it is. It would require a great deal of sacrifice for one of us, and I do not have the strength to leave behind my aspirations or force you to cut ties with your family. Do you know I mean?" Iron sighs again. "I just wanted to vent out my frustration with you. Becuase you would understand. Maybe you dislike the idea of sex itself, but I knew no other way to express my love to you than to share the essence of life with you." Iron shakes his head. "I know I am wrong now. You do not need to cater to me just because I vented to you. I know that it is impossible now after your reaction. I thought it was acceptable. Now I know it is not." Iron takes off his wolf helmet. "I guess what I mean is, I wanted to be with you, but I cannot see a way to be together and I felt frustrated because of it. Therefore I lost hope and thought we could at least be friends who tell their deepest secrets to eachother." Iron's ears are still drooped. "That is how I feel."

It is mid-early January in a climate comparable to Orlando, Florida. She knows that the Equestrians see Nature as being in a real way dependent on ponies. This might be why that nun expressed horror at Ash's statement - she told of a worldview where sentient creatures are subject to nature and have no right to intervene, or think of themselves as superior, whereas in the Equestrian view, nature is not merely subject, it's scarcely even a separate entity from ponykind. She knows that weather tends to be managed by government agencies. The weather looks... less than ideal from what you would expect if the ponies could literally choose their own weather, so something is off. Cloudsdale is in West Equestria/The Changeling Zone

She walks into the Grand Baltimare Hotel. A few lights are on, and a guard in the lobby looks up at them, but doesn't say anything. Blue Skies takes him upstairs, and says to him "Did you see that? A Changeling assassin could just walk right in." The doors to the second, third, and fourth floors are closed, but the fifth floor door is open, and leads into a hallway with cream colored walls and a light red carpet, with dim lights. She keeps walking down the hallway, until she gets to a door on the left that must be unlocked, as she simply opens it. The room is, well, it's a nice hotel room, with big windows (blinds closed), a large bed with a pink flower pattern on the covers. There are a couple jars on the table and at least one set of clothing, so you have to guess that this room is actually used by her. She closes the door and prances over to the other side of the bed, raising her tail as soon as the door is shut, making the view of her rump as she does so better than normal. She rubs her long, flowing tail against Dark Star's face She then goes to the other side of the bed, laying facing Dark Star, her hind legs hanging over the side and standing, with her forelegs on the bed, hooves curled up under her legs
"Here we are" She smiles warmly, looks at him seductively, and wags her raised tail

"Alright, a few things. First off, I am not too busy to have a life nor am I 'too weighed down' by responsibilities. I am perfectly capable of managing a relationship, foals or whathaveyou. Second, unless you are well, at least a made stallion or rich, the only mares who will say yes to 'hey babe I love someone else more but you want to fug' are mares who shapeshift and will not leave you feeling better afterwards. And even if you are rich, most will not like being talked to that way"

She grabs onto Dark Star’s penis with her hoof, and holds his testicles with the other. Her wings are spread out in full, and he can see that her ice blue wings are wider than the bed and probably have almost as much surface area. She places her face down next to Dark Star’s penis as if posing for a picture.

Humility is just a mask to pretend that you get what you are owed when in fact they just tickle your feelings to take advantage of you later on. After all, they treated you so nicely that you should do even more for them." Iron shrugs. "Maybe I am wrong, but do not expect me to believe this 'humility' is a great thing becuase it is just sweet lies to gain more stuff dishonestly. Because we all want to be rewarded for our efforts, just that some ponies are not honest about it."

I'm contemplating whether or not it feels right to do anything about this situation.
I'm going to be preoccupied for most of the day.

Dark Star lets out a nervous Chuckle which is quickly overtaken by Sigh of pleasure
"Wow Blue that feels really good.

Her eyes change to a hungry look, and her smile retains its devious look
“I would have placed it in my mouth, except that I don’t know if you’d want to kiss me after. Now, I know you’ve told me that it’s your first time, and I should try to be polite, but I really do have to work in the morning, so please forgive me if I skip the foreplay. I’ll make it up to you sometime.”

She sits up, kneeling, and moves her dark blue mane behind her neck. Her chest sticks out further than her belly, and Dark Star can see her teats. She picks herself up with fire gloves over Dark Star, and then moves herself down onto him, and him into her. Her grip on his penis firm if soft and wet. If he was afraid she would feel ‘worn’ or used, he can place that fear aside. She leans close over him, her hooves to either side, so Dark Star may look into her lustful, hungry eyes, kiss her, or hug her as she likes. She moves up and down over him, slowly now, using her hind legs and her wings.

"And let me say that humility is not a sign of respect, but of deceit. But I guess this is becoming pointless to talk about." Iron stands up. "I guess there is no hard feelings, but I still have a a job to do, and it is not going to be done itself. See you later." Iron starts to head outside the Watering Hole.

"No problem!" He leaves the Watering Hole.'Now how do I get back to Ash?' he ponders in his mind. Best bet is to ask all around town to see if a dragon mare passed through the city.

She takes the “vice like grip” as a challenge and clenches. She bucks him back, and increases speed. She moves her wings upward, incasing Dark Star in a veil of feathers. She places one hoof on his face

Iron sighs. There are simply too many ponies to ask. He should go back to the outskirts. He has a feeling she would find him easier there. He expects her not to be done with her meditation stuff.

Let's see, he had 7000, spent 2550...
He puts 950 bits in his room at the bar, and sticks the rest in a bag before returning to work.

Ash is able to suitable wood for a shield, including the cut. It’s no Marehogany nor New Mareland Ironwood though.

>>74131
And thus he has 3500 bits on his pony

A pony asked appears to know the exact location of the Kirin lady. She’s at an establishment on East Main a little to the north of his present position

Dark Star May be out now, but his character is a relatively passive participant in the scene. Skies carefully nuzzles his nose with hers, then rolls her eyes back a little and pants, diving in to kiss. When Dark Star finally cannot hold back she dies not stop, but moves in closer to him, hugging, kissing, but staring into his eyes, not stopping or slowing down with the movements. She keeps going, now clenching down consistently to try to gain traction with the excess of fluids in her

She still has a hungry look, and she rubs his face with the tip of her wing, which it looks like she was finally able to make retract

Second time gather info has failed me.

Iron, not having any other leads, goes to that exact spot, putting his helmet on again and detaching one of his front hooves' armor, putting it between the shield and his armoured back.
