Occupied Equestria: Day 4

Welcome to the latest thread of Occupied Equestria. Set six years after season 6, it presents an alternative history where Chrysalis chose a different approach to her second attack on Equestria. The Changelings have conquered half of Equestria, while an Equestrian splinter 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.

In the latest episode, we are starting day 4. Ash is finally getting to sleep after dealing with foals that scarified animals to evil gods, Iron is disappointed to find that the only sex he is getting is in his dreams, Dark Star has declined to have sex, Onxy has discovered the joys of socialized medicine, I don’t know what Spark is doing, and Silver has discovered that when you don’t complete a quest, you don’t get paid for it

"And there you have it. One loyal soldier for whom the bond to his race and country does not end even as he wakes up under a New Mareland Heaven. One lonely, loyal troop, devoted to stand against the swarms of Chrysilis, and if necessary, die, rifle in hoof, facing the enemy.

Now, imagine if he had some Equestrian comrades? Imagine if he had many, joined by all the resources of Griffonia. New Mareland is a tiny nation with a tiny population. It needed to expand to gain the resources to survive. It must continue that expansion. But when that is complete, and free ponykind stands as one against Chrysilis... They shall be a force far more formidable than any the old Equestria could have mustered."

He looks right at Blue, his face rather emotionless as he speaks. "No. When Chrysalis invades, New Mareland will not send anypony to help. They have too many enemies in Griffonia, and too few forces spread well too thin. They can not afford war with Chrysalis without risking everything." He points at Dark Star. "He will fight." He points at himself. "I will fight." He puts his hoof down. "All Equestrians will fight. But you are fool if you believe New Mareland would care enough to risk everything to send aid. We are alone in this fight."

"Silver, do you realize why they are so ready to please Chrysilis? Do you see now why they are absentee landlords? They send all their troops away because they must. They must secure their footing on Griffonia now. They must gain resources. They must buy time with Chrysilis so that they may make war later in Equestria.

Chrysalis is a demon that ponykind must stand united to slay. And the swift dive bombers and ponies of New Mareland are not an ally to be dismissed out of hoof"

Like I was going to have him go investigate a den of Changeling spy activity in Baltimare decoded in the suitcase, but then realized that it would be smarter to not arrest them so as to not tip of the Changelings, but rather to monitor them. And other instances, mostly observation, planting listening devices, and making arrests or killing a single pony

Very light. She's rather thin and dainty for her kind. Might have had something to do with extreme fasting, or maybe it's her just generally being on the small side.

"Sweetie, looking after Dark Star here is my business. And accordingly his assembling of a team is my business. And because the gecko lady is actually useful, that means that procuring Ash's help is, as a matter of fact, my business. And so therefore, sweetie, this is all my business. Ash is not your personal sex toy to stake out on your own like a three year old refusing to share a teddy bear. She is a member of the team. A person. Alright? Do you get that? And for what is worth, you spoke to me. And don't speak until you've learned some manners"

"First of all, I was speaking to Silver when I mentioned the rule and then you butted in with your morality." Iron is angry about this next part. "Secondly, we have not even kissed yet, while you surely have gone up and procreated with Star already, so do not go around accusing others of using people as toys. Third, you are treating her as a toy yourself, thinking you should get authority over her because you said so. Like I said earlier, I should not listen to you throwing around rhetoric you do not even follow. So you should learn some manner yourself when talking to strangers." Iron has his brow furrowed.

Iron smiles. "Ah, you are lazy as well. If you keep that up, you will not lift yourself off the ground."
