Occupied Equestria: B&E
Anonymous

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 Princess Twilight's notion of harmony with all creatures thank to their dealing 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 party now takes on the task of breaking, entering, and investigating the house of Social Democrat politician Comte "Cheese" Burgher, who is alleged to have 'purchased' two young foals. They have already distracted the guards around the gated community and explored most of the property. Now, Ash tries out her role as a 'dog whisperer,' Dark Star contemplates the evidence he has already collected, Silver shifts between stealing jewelry from innocent third parties and talking about the joyful smell of wingpit sweat, Iron harasses guards by talking to them about queer theory while Onyx acts as his his homosexual partner, Brie tries to get the guards drinking on the job, and Spark follows around the group in the attic.

Whether Silver can actually find a satisfactory array of toys in a general store, or has to go to a specialty toy store I don’t care to specify, but among toys, he can find:

Children’s books
Little steel Army soldiers, these of both pre-war royal guards and wonderbolts, as well as Great War era Equestrian soldiers, which remain on the shelves despite their “politically incorrect” status
Stackable bricks, that may be combined into many combinations like houses or railways
Steel toy cars that are painted. Firetrucks and dumptrucks
Steel warplanes, also of Great War models
Blankets
Toy weapons
Pony dolls

It's been a while since Silver's bought toys, but he wants the changelings to at least have something to do or play with. He grabs a little of everything: a selection of various toy soldiers, a set of stackable bricks, a couple toy cars, a firetruck, and a warplane, a pair of blankets, a game of Chutes and Ladders, a game of Checkers, some marbles, some jacks, a toy gun and toy sword, and a couple pony dolls. He also grabs a couple more chocolate bars of the milk chocolate variety. He's not sure if changelings like chocolate, or if they can even eat chocolate, but he figures even if they don't/can't, there are others who will. With all of this gathered, he brings everything to the cashier to be rung up.

He was expecting it to be a little pricy, but he gladly puts down the required Bits on the counter, before leaving the store with his newly acquired items in his saddlebags. He's suddenly thankful that he nearly emptied them out back at his room.

Silver calls "Es ist nur ich." through the door to his room before opening it and stepping into the room. He smiles when he sees both Kerr and Wesley are there, with Wesley apparently petting Spark. "Hallo Kerr, Wesley. Ich bin aus dem Krankenhaus zurück." He looks around the room a little bit, notice a distinct lack of Iron. "Ich nehme an, das große Pony ist weg?"

Silver smiles back at Wesley, and gives him a quick hug. "Du und dein Bruder haben mich sehr hart gebissen. Ich musste dafür sorgen, dass an mir nichts falsch war."

Once he leaves the embrace, he smiles at and chuckles at Kerr's answer. "Ich bin sehr froh, dass du ihn nicht getötet hast!"

With both changelings answered, he looks at both of them. He's a little nervous about how the toys he bought the two will be received, but he knows he'll deal with it either way. "Ich habe dir zwei Sachen besorgt, während ich draußen war. Würdest du gerne sehen?"

Wesley is already right by Silver, and Kerr comes closer

"Of course he hasn't been 'captured.' What would he be captured for? It's not like foals were found chained in a sex dungeon when the firefighters and police got there. No, when he heard that there was a fire reported at his house, he tried to go on scene, then was rushed away to a hotel. With a police escort to 'protect he and his family from possible arsonists and assassins' of course. When we have all of the evidence in, then we will nab him. As for the new development, I heard about that in a message"

I'm not sure what it means exactly, I'm only just getting back to it now, but I'm hoping it might give a name, or an address, or something that can be used to find out more about their operation."

>>86157
Wesley starts looking through the items, and Kerr approaches to do the same. "Yay! says Wesley, "Die anderen Ponys gaben uns nie etwas zum Spielen"

Wesley picks up a book, and starts looking through its pages, with a big smile on his face. "Ich kann diese nicht lesen," he says, smile still on his face.

Kerr looks at the toy soldiers modeled after the Equestrian soldiers of the Great War. The soldiers that killed more than one half million Changeling Drones. Kerr looks at Silver, changes form into the black and red insectoid, and says "Ernst?"

Silver looks fairly awkward at this moment. He rubs the back of his neck in embarrassment. He sounds genuinely sorry. "Es tut mir Leid. Im Nachhinein war es nicht die beste Wahl. Ich habe gerade alles gekauft, was verfügbar war." He levitates one of the books over to himself to look at the title. "Ich weiß, dass du diese nicht lesen kannst. Aber wenn Sie möchten, könnte ich sie Ihnen vorlesen."

>>86163
This clicks with what he found during his own investigation of the Burgher residence. He looks fairly amused. "So, I will assume it was you who cut painting out of its frame."

If he had to guess, it looks to him like the book is intended to be a cipher for some sort of encryption. There are a few numbers at the beginning that could have any sort of various meanings.

Wesley seems excited by this proposition
"Yay! Das ist nett!"
Wesley has also begun playing with a toy firetruck. He starts to bat it around with his hoof, to push it forward, almost like a cat.

Kerr has wrapped himself in a blanket, where only his big blue eyes and black muzzle are visible through. He has grabbed one of the little pony dolls and has placed in his mouth, biting down on the squeeking little thing, held behind his fangs. He has picked up the toy gun, and pretends to shoot it at the toy soldiers

Kerr's swinging is fairly simple, a right-to-left downward swipe to knock the painted tin soldiers over onto their side. He seems to be trying to make aggressive sounds like a 'rah!,' while doing so, but the doll in his mouth stifles that. The doll is far enough into the back of his mouth that his fangs do not risk breaking it.

A little rabbit lives with his mother, but wants to runaway. He says that he will transform to get away, but his mother always promises that she will find him. “I will runaway and become a trout.” He says, and his mother replies, “If you runaway and become a trout, I will become a fisherman and I will catch you.” And this repeats, the little rabbit saying he will become a rock on a tall mountain, and his mother says she will become a mountaineer to find him, he will become a flower and she shall become a gardener, and so forth. At the end of all of that, the little rabbit decides he will stay by his mother’s side, content in knowing that his mother loves him, and will always come to find him

Kerr does not say anything, nor really react at all at first. But after a few seconds he stands up, and walks over slowly to the bed. He lays down on the other side of Silver, although with at least a foot between him. He lays down such that he shows off his translucent blue belly, glowing with parts of the life essence of three different ponies inside

Silver nods, understanding why he would want to keep his distance. Silver reopens the book he just read. "The Runaway Bunny." He begins to retell the tale he just read himself, though now translated by him into Wechselbalg. Sometimes he has to pause for a second while he thinks of an unfamiliar word to translate, and sometimes a translation isn't exactly what it says in the story, but Silver feels he does a good job of retelling it to the young changelings.

Wesley sits up next to Silver, listening intently, and looking at the pictures that illustrate the story. Kerr keeps some disbance, and generally tries to avoid eye contact with Silver, but sits up and sometimes looks over at the pictures. Exactly why a rabbit thinks he can transform into various creatures and objects is an element of the story that gives no pause to the little Wechselbachs. The idea of an all living mother who will care about and even track down and find her lost children to protect them is one that translates very well to the pair, both for their cultural background and for their present situation
