Welcome back to Occupied Equestria

Dark Star, Silver, Iron, and Midnight continue their investigation and hopefully, the take down of a group of organized criminals who have taken up operations at an old fortress on the sea shore. They have already rescued a number of creatures and persuaded them to join in their efforts. Now, they most hope that they can strike with enough force, and quickly enough, to destroy the evil that has taken up residence there.

Up in the North, the ponies are waking up, ready for a new day

So, in the interest of not making you write each and every single document out, are the documents of any importance to their investigation? Any particular bits of information about this organization that may shed some light, or help to bring their end?

Unfortunately, that is a question that Silver must decide. They appear to be probably business records, and maybe some documents relating to the logistics of housing creatures in that location

She silently looks over the documents, combing through them. At the end, she picks out a page, holds it before her with a hoof, and reads it in silence. After a minute, she lowers the document, sighs, and says solemnly

"I don't want to say they are the perfect victims... but the thing about illegal aliens is, the government doesn't really have papers proving they were there in the first place.

This... 'criminal enterprise,' seems to target mostly immigrants without papers and war refugees. These are people who have few relatives and connections to this land. No one would know that they are missing, because no one knew that they were there. Most of the creatures who know them live thousands of miles away, and even then, many of those creatures are either dead, living in a war zone, or in a dictatorship. Communication is poor.

Sure, Ponies notice them. The police see faces on the street, they eat food which travels by vans, they check into the hospitals, they use utilities and they rent out apartments. But they are not noticed as individuals. It's kind of like hearing the scratches mice make when they scurry through the walls. You know they are there, sure, but you don't see them. You don't even know how many there are. And so it is with these creatures. You never quite know if they were abducted, or if they just moved away.

And on top of all of this, this is a group that, if they survive and witness something, doesn't always want to go get help from the government. They are afraid they will be deported. If they report what they see, they will not want to go to court to testify. They live in the shadows. It's hard to see when one goes missing."

Iron curls his lips in frustration.
"So basically, this search is fruitless because they do not actually care about these ponies. Great."
He sighs dissapointedly, going back to the door of Records.
"I will wait for Star and Silver to finish up their rummaging to look out for any patrols that happen to pass by here," he states with the barest hint of morosity in his voice. "Come along, Sands."
And so, he opens the door and walks out, leaning against a wall next to it, eyes scanning the corridor.

"There are ways indeed to help them"

Skies is silent for a moment, then returns
"There might be more upstairs"

>>117062
Sands gives an expression of surprise, evidently not anticipating being pet. Her eyes focus on the nearing hoof, her face moves away. But when the hoof comes, and it pets her, she realizes there is nothing to fear, and she lets him pet her, closing her eyes, and now placing her head closer to him.

Her hair is not the softest. If anything, it feels a bit ragged. Like it needs to be washed. Much the same with her hooves, which while belonging to a set of pretty feat, could stand to use a trim.

Off in the distance, further away, Iron can hear what does indeed sound like claw steps. Maybe it's up a set of stairs, maybe in the tunnel. But it's not in this hallway. Not in this little corridor. It's just him and Sands here for now

(It is easy to handle a couple of ponies here and there. Manage their issues and such, and if it does not work, one simply fights the other to determine the victor, maybe cast him out.)
His hoof brushes along her mane, taking one step closer towards her to allow him more comfortable strokes.

Mala is moving up from behind, evidently heading to the door after interesting himself in the cigars and whiskey. His voice is a little off for it. Khoi is already by the door. Her voice is definitely off for it. The voice sounded most like it came from just over Midnight's right shoulder. The best candidate for that is Meadows, who is over to the right. She is blinking and has a hoof on the shelf, probably testing out her vision. She's not finding the exit soon.

She is already standing, but when she lurches forward, she seems to raise in height half an inch, coming out of what must have been a resting stance.

Then last year, at the end of the pony civil war, after the ships stopped coming, they were raided again, and again they lost half their number. But they grow back. They gain new members every month"

I think most of them come from across the seas. Apparently they have groups over there. They smuggle them in, same as the captives. Some, they recruit from here in the city. That's how they found me. It was a creature I knew in the brief time I was in school who told me. I was happy to have a bed, and some creatures to talk to. Before, all I could eat was bread. That made me weak and feel sick. .... . I thought of joining the Society itself. But there was a separate set of gnolls, who worked for them but didn't participate in their activities because of culture I guess. I was excited to be around gnolls, so I went with that group. I got kind of stuck with that group. This whole time I felt I made a mistake by not pleading to be let into the bigger group"

Maybe I should be happy that it went as well as it did for as long as it did, because frankly I was expecting much less. I was expecting you to meta-game yourself out of the situation immediately. I was very pleasantly surprised to see you not-meta game and play along. It was very fun and enjoyable, and it let me flesh characters and provide some minor conflict. I am not in the slightest surprised that the fun character moments didn’t last. But I’m not “happy that it happened.” I’m both disappointed and angry about how it fell apart.

Please listen carefully, because I mean it in all sincerity. When you use metagaming to do shit that entirely sucks the fun out of the experience, there will be bad consequences. It ended absolutely terribly for Dark Star when his player did it, and so it shall be for you and yours. When the other characters are having fun and fruitful interactions with NPCs in downtime, Iron shall have nothing, or less pleasant interactions. Every creature in that hallway is witness to Iron being super affectionate to a victim of the traffickers, getting upset over one supper minor thing, then not even 10 seconds later, walking up to and talking to a different mare, a mare who knows damned good and well that she was not his first choice. When you do things in character that are justified only because of knowledge outside of character, the characters in the scene are going to see an irrational schizo who does hurtful things just because he has a shitty personality. That’s not going to go over any better with the characters than it does with me personally.

Don’t give me some bullshit about, “no, it’s actually because of the cigar.” That autistic shit is as obnoxious as the derailment-by-meta gaming. It was frustrating beyond measure whenever Ash did it. It was infuriating when you did it out of character that one time Blue Skies shared a scene with Silver. Frankly, that shit is just another form of meta-gaming, because it inserts the player’s personal preferences over the actions of the character in a way that doesn’t really make sense in the setting. This is the fucking 1940s East Coast United States amongst the poor and working class. Smoking is perfectly socially acceptable. There is no Surgeon General’s warning, no fear of “big tobacco,” no Truth.org, no ban on smoking in public buildings, and no studies about cancer. A moral crusade against smoking - barring the parallels to the Nazi party, which decidedly does not include your character - simply doesn’t exist in this setting.

Your character has very little reason at all to even have any comprehension of what smoking is. He has no reason at all to think that is bad, beyond maybe a bad smell. And frankly your character should be used to bad smells. He has absolutely no reason for smoking to be the one and only thing he is ever moralistic about. Inserting modern moralism into this setting is immersion breaking, and it’s immersion breaking for everyone because everyone can hear your shrieks.

Even if it did make sense in the context of the story, and even if it it weren’t an immersion breaking insertion of modern moral opinion in a setting where it has no place, it would still be obnoxious. And that’s because dear god, has it been expressed in a shrill manner. There are plenty of other evils within the story that deserve far greater indignation.

The characters watching Iron do all of this - and they can’t miss it, because it’s super public - aren’t going to think “oh, she wanted to puff a cigar after being rescued from being held prisoner by gangsters. I can see why it wouldn’t work out” because no real person in that era would think that way, and frankly very few people with functioning minds even in modern times think that way. They are also not going to perceive it as a pretext for ditching Sands because of her other unsavory characteristics. Most of them don’t know about Sand’s other unsavory characteristics, and the only one who does, Khoi, knows damned good and well that Iron does not.

They are only going to see a stallion who is nice to a mare for a moment. They are going to see a mare who has been through some bad shit - evidently being abducted and held prisoner. They see the wounds left on her body from her captivity. They heard her imply that her loved ones are all dead, presumably from circumstances relating to the invasion of her homeland by Communist Griffins. And so after this, after all of this, they see her try to calm her excited nerves by smoking a cigar that would ordinarily be too expensive for a poor war refugee like her.

And what does Iron do? At random, he leaves her, and immediately starts hitting on an entirely different mare who he blew off earlier. What the fuck kind of shit person does that? Would you want to date that? Would you trust that? Would you honestly believe that that kind of person would come to your aid in battle? Do you think that kind of person would risk themselves to help you up if you fell down in the heat of battle? Would you want to help that kind of person? Are you sure they aren’t the same kind of person as the griffin captors, just wearing a different coat?

Jesus, this made me so angry this morning that I was late to work because of thinking about it. Midnight’s post is super sweet though. I’ll try to think about that instead

The room is pretty dark, mostly illuminated by one light towards the back that still works out if a set of about four, and the light from the hallway. It would be easy to trip over objects even without blindness. But the darkness of the room is briefly overcome by a dim but clearly present blue light that seeps out of Midnight’s hooves, and into Meadow’s barrel. She tenses up for a moment, then relaxes and breathes. She looks down at Midnight. Directly into her eyes, with eyes that are blue-gray.

She does a minor bow to Midnight after she is released from the hug, including her left hoof being turned upwards in a sort of curtesy that accompanies the bow

Iron cocks his head at the retreating Sands, then turns back to the original position, with no attempt to stop the cigar from hitting Iron's body.
(It is intriguing how she went out of her way to say that. I wonder what is fueling her.)
>>117144
Oh no, it's not metagaming. Just as Iron cannot stand Skies' abrasive, forward and sometimes lewd attitude, he cannot stand Sands' quirks as a pony. He, of course, was exploring her actions and mannerisms, but she kept on sending subtle signals of future conflict later, obviously starting from Silver taking her away for a private talk when the two couldn't possibly have unless there was a secret going on, but kept on piling up with her constant acts of self interest and subsequent challenge that drove Iron away. It's not about being a changie or not. I'd obviously had gone with dicking the changie, since he'd love to try that out, but he can't share a life with that sort of personality without things escalating into an even larger dumpster fire, and he has the foresight not to keep at it.
It's not the smoking, it's the retort that came with it, and it was the final straw of many. A mare whose only purpose so far is nothing aside from an interest in guns and revenge is indeed going to drive him away, and her brash attitude only accelerated that process, because his patience is thin for those kind of mares if you hadn't noticed with many of Skies' interactions with him.
I obviously get it's a dick move and won't get me rewards for it, only downsides in the short term, but it's not out of a desire to evade the changie in a metagaming move, rather to make her think 'Hey, why did the stallion that I got so enamored moments ago decide to bail out on me? I thought I had him in the frog of my hoof. How did he suddenly have the desire to leave me?' and reflect on her actions. Of course, this obviously opens up the possibility of betrayal out of anger, but maybe, just maybe, she can realize that all his headcocking, staring and suspicion Iron sent out can make her realize some of her actions were counteracting her attempts to maintain him charmed.
And no. I'm not expecting to get kirin coochie either. Of course not. Iron may aim for that, but he knows it'll take a lot longer than a romp destroying her captors to consider him a viable candidate. Heck, for all he knows, she could be another gunloving, revenge fueled mare with the same brash attitude like Sands and would dump her as well.
Now you'll be asking "What? Why didn't he communicate that to Sands from the start? I bet this is all an excuse." and sure, between two adults that could be a viable option, but consider the fact that Iron is not going out of his way to pursue and change a mare unless she actually has something of value worthy of pursuit, and he doesn't care about revenge-fueled mares or gun skills or even combat magic if he ever gets to know about that because he sees himself as the muscle, concluding that while it would be a bonus in a mare, it can't be her only trait because Iron has that part covered as pretentious as that sounds. Besides, she wouldn't change her ways by simply pointing it out. Obviously it's deeper than that. It's an intrinsic part of her that defines her as a different pony among the masses caused by both dealing with a totalitarian indoctrination of changeling superiority and getting abused by outsiders.
Don't fret, because there is still a chance to charm Iron again, but Sands is probably going to swallow her pride to do it, which I don't see her do for a literal stranger anyhow, unless she still saw him as an easy target.
To summarize, yes, I know it is a dick move but it's not to avoid the changeling in a bout of 'player brilliance in avoiding danger' but rather to spark doubt in Sands' mind over what made him discard her. Obviously she can recharm him again through a simple apology and a change in attitude and approach but if that can't be achieved, he probably lost interest in her. I know it sounds pretentious, but Iron is a pretentious pony that seeks a specific number of traits in a mare to be deemed pursueable, and if that can't be achieved, he discards it and keeps going. After all, there are plenty of fish in the sea to hook up with.
And no. It's not the smoking. Smoking, while it could make him uncomfortable with the smell, it's not a dealbreaker, even though it is for me IRL.

Here I am, proposing a possibility to return to status quo with one little tweak, yet you shrug it off because you believe Iron and I are 'assholes' due to my decision as a player to stop interacting with Sands out of a desire not to after not giving me a reason to aside from 'I give you a snuggle so you better love me' and nothing else. If you want to destroy Iron's life over not falling for the character you presented due to lack of interest in her characteristics that make her, you can obviously do it.

Simple. Make Sands realize what is ticking Iron off and promptly using it to her advantage by falsely apologizing over it and downplaying her abrasive in Iron's eyes temperament with more active actions of physical contact to make it up to him, or even presenting a hobby of hers that isn't about combat.
It should allow to buy you some more time to flesh her out further as a pony alongside Iron, and I believe she would be able to since she seems like the kind of pony to be able to do that, being a manipulator and all.

Iron was indirectly pointing out his perception of her flaws with his expressions, which mostly encompasses her combat-focused demeanor from the eyebrow raising at her thirst for vengeance at first, which while obviously being justifiable in the current situation, it isn't particularly interesting to him long term. Compound that with a lack of other quirks to balance it out and a 'sassy' demeanor, like when she taunts Iron to 'not to be a bitch', and he loses interest quickly.
Remember. Iron likes Cauldron as a zebra and wants to be with her not because she beats ponies with a crowbar or is the hottest mare or sucks his metaphorical dick everytime she gets a chance, but her other skills, like cooking and potion making, and motivations to both better her life without sacrificng her fathers', not to mention her caring, generous and sometimes innocently fun attitude.
Sands is a changeling version of Skies in a superficial level as of now: Revenge-focused mare that wants to make their captors pay as well as being playfully abrasive, thinking it's a good way to interact with others because it worked previously from where she comes from.
I'm not expecting a Cauldron clone, don't get me wrong, but she should have something more interesting than simply being a nuzzling machine or a petting toy to charm Iron further, and her attitude towards others only serve to undermine her efforts.

The pony is hugged. But when the hard object touches her soft, grey nose, she reflexively pulls back, wrestling her self out from under the wing. Stepping back, stepping back, stepping back away from her attacker. She goes back a couple more feet until...

Her right, rear hoof steps on an open cigar box, sending the wooden edge of the other side of the box into her long pattern bone, and launching cigars across the floor. She stumbles, her right hind leg collapses, then her left hind leg, and she falls down onto her rump

You want a fleshed out character with whatever quirks and a distinct personality, you have to interact with them and give them situations to react to and bounce off of. You throw away characters I spend a large amount of time building and that I personally like, just because “eh, I don’t like this one” - and you did exactly the same thing to Black Cauldron last December and it pissed me way the fuck off then - then I’m not exactly inclined to do anything other than blow off your character in reciprocity. You don’t have to fuck it, just not discard blatantly and casually

I did try to approach her with questions regarding her past in an attempt to open her up into a more fleshed out character, but none of it worked because she's paranoid of revealing her nature as a changeling, so she can't be approached unless I do the flashlight trick on her which is metagame-y currently or otherwise have Iron know she's a changeling and she knows he knows but doesn't care, unlike Cauldron, which wasn't due to a lack of cooperation or actual way to explore her personality, history or hobbies.
There has to be an incentive to interact with other characters, GM. She provides none, so of course Iron'll stop caring about her sooner or later unless she gives a bone to chew on.

The only injury of any kind is on her right hind leg, caused by the wooden side of the box jabbing upwards into Meadow’s leg on the mid pattern bone, when she stepped on the opposite side of the box sending that side up in a seesaw action kind of like stepping on a rake. It’s a blunt injury, far from the worst Midnight has seen, but it seems to cause her pain. Nothing is broken or fractured, but there will probably be a bruise hidden under her leg fur.

>>117187
“What is my story? Heh, I am pleased you asked. My name is Volador Jubilosa, and I am from the Federated Parishes of Sicameon. Excuse me, I forgot the new name. “Territory of the Military Commander in Sicameon.” I grew up in Campo Claro, a little town twenty kilometers outside of Midora, and I attended the Parish School there. There was a griffin there who fancied me. A nice griffin, seemed to be heading to university. I wasn’t betrothed to him, but that seemed to be where things were going. Then you ponies attacked. His militia was mobilized, and I did not hear from him. I was heart broken, and remained in my parents’ house for a month when I found out he had been killed. Still, I persisted, and became a milkgrif, flying around delivering milk in my town. I knew I could make more money if I went to the city, so I did so. I became a typist for a shipping company in Midora. I worked there a year and a half.”

She’s been making gestures with a free claw through out her small speech, but it intensifies at this point, and she moves forward

“You know, there was this kid who lived just down the road from my parents. Then one day he just wasn’t there. I don’t know if he moved suddenly without telling his neighbors, if he joined the partisans out in the forests up north. But I think your secret police got him. Took him from his house in the night. Maybe stalked him as he walked home from the sugar mill where he worked. He wouldn’t have been the only one. Your damned soldiers walked the streets of the city. Redirected shipments going out. Frankly that’s a lot of what I did as a typist. Went over documents about exports, I didn’t like what I saw. I talked about what I saw. And when my parents wrote me and told me about little Mullido down the street just vanishing, I knew that it could happen to me.

So I went back to Campo Claro, and told my parents I would seek refuge in Aquelia until the end of the War. Then I went down to the city to locate a griffin I was told made fake passports. I should have trusted a different griffin. I would have used a ship my company contracts for, except they don’t run to Aquelia. And so, somehow, I ended up here. Tonight.”

Plot twist: there has to be an incentive for the GM to waste his time interacting with the character.

I have no idea why you think that having your character treat well established female NPCs as if they are articles of clothing that can be stolen and then discarded when you don’t like how they fit, is acceptable, but I assure you that it is not acceptable.

>>117198
I refuse to acknowledge anything happening with the Iron character after >>117142. You can have a reset of any of the scenes leading up to that to see if you want to do anything differently. You can roll a new character who will join the quest later. You can wait in limbo to see if I change my mind later. But what is not happening is trying on my favorite new female NPC like a shoplifted article of clothing and throwing her in the garbage when she makes you look fat, and then proceeding on to combat tonight.

Counter plot twist: If you want an NPC to stick to a PC/PCs, it must have something going for itself that keeps the player/s interested in it.
Unless, of course, you want her to become a villain and subsequently get killed or fade away from memory as she is slowly forgotten.
An NPC is well established due to the players perception of them, because even though the world you create is indeed yours to rule, you do so in order to provide players a setting to play in. Otherwise, you end up playing with yourself and the fun is stripped away even further than how you currently feel.

Now, I'm willing to give her a shot because your actions beforehand were fueled by fear of me metagaming my way out of it to resort to dodging the question in order to keep her around because you like Sands and don't want Iron to discard her as a potential plot hook and fail to properly characterize her which I admit I'm surprised you thought that after that IronxChangeling dream orgy he had on Night 1.

I'll pick to rewind back to when Iron was combing Sands' mane with two hooves.

He asks the following question with his usual small smile he had:
"So, what life did you live before ending up here?"

Indeed, it looks like this mare would benefit strongly from a brush or a bath. But none are available

"I can touch things now... But I can't quite feel some things... When those Rashaka take you, they don't just remove from you your strength, your energy, you stamina. They take something from you emotionally, maybe spiritually. Memories of the plantation, the races in the village, seeing the Fire Temple in Neighran... the horses... it's all a vague sadness now.

I suppose I should assume that the 'Lings are squared away, both the young and older ones? Brie returns to Onyx. "I suppose we're all set then. We should have our new friends on either side of the cart when we approach the hive, though they agreed to 'assist' in pulling it (which of course means its their turn)."

Are there weakened ponies? I seem to recall there being weakened ponies, but somehow I think if we brought them they would end up eaten.

Intriguing idea

Anyways, Seb and Fun can now be made to pull the cart, appearing to be brown ponies. They aren't fully healed, and Fun pretty clearly still wears his bandages, but they are healed-ish. There is no immediate noticeable traffic on the roadway. The sky is clear, the temperature is pretty warm, maybe 20 degrees F. A light breeze, making it feel just a little colder. The sun is barely up

"Oh good, there you are. We're preparing to disembark. Our new changeling 'friends' have offered to pull the cart for a while, but when we get to the hive they're to walk on either side of the cart as something of an escort. I'm figuring that the hive won't respond well if we have changelings operating as laborers."

Maybe Spark gets inside the cabin with them. Maybe even Onyx does as well. Seb and Fun really don't appear to be as strong as Onyx, or really, as strong as they would be under more normal circumstances, but they will suffice

Hopefully that fits under the vest. And hopefully it’s enough protection from the cold

>>117246
>>117248
>>117241
The party pulls ahead, Brie in front. The dogs follow. There’s a pretty decent view of what goes by. Mostly it’s coniferous forest in this area. Though there are some inclines and hills, it’s more flat than not. Occasionally, a steam cuts through, and the road crosses a stone bridge. Birds chirp in the sky regularly, but really it’s more quiet than it isn’t. More than one cart is passed, mostly pulled by oxen. The ponies inside look down or ahead, not at those who pass by, and often cover their faces, presumably because of the cold.

Mostly this road doesn’t have large settlements, or settlements at all. But there is a trend. Individual buildings and small settlements - farm houses, cabins, and less often mills and hamlets - are more likely to look abandoned. Villages and towns may have a guard post in them, and there seem to be ponies living there. The population is becoming centralized. Sometimes, there almost seems to be a line between abandoned and inhabited buildings. There are several buildings that are visibly damaged by artillery, like a windmill that has its top half half blown off, and rubble strewn about.

Of course the forest doesn’t last forever, nor are most of the settlements near the forest. After that, they are meadows, then cattle pastures, more fields of winter wheat, and then fallow field after fallow field. Some naked soil, some planted with clover or grass. Some fields look as if they were burned and never replanted. But most fields have either stubble, clover, or wheat, with occasional crops of Timothy grass, rye, and rapeseed. And all of these are covered in a fine layer of snow, or at least, they usually are. One hamlet seems to be abandoned all together, buildings damaged. The changelings have a definite presence here, even if it is less felt than the pony presence of big red barns, and rustic windmills. Every settlement has a Changeling post near the center. With guards. And a station that has a small fence around it, surely a collection station.

They travel for quite a while

And so, it’s a while before they get to their first major challenge. A guard check point. It’s actually not the first one they came across, but the first one waved them through

Here, the creatures seem more serious. The guard is unambiguously an undisguised Changeling drone in a field grey uniform.

"These aren't just for cutting, though they'll work fine enough for that. These are balanced for throwing so that you can strike at an opponent without being up close. Try to keep them hidden, because an opponent won't see you as a threat if you appear unarmed. Then, when they're full of confidence, you can stick them in the face!" Brie conveys with perhaps a bit too much disclosure. "If you want, I'll show you more as we travel." Then, turning to Onyx, flashes a wide-eyed expression for just a moment, before heading back to the front of the cart.

I don't know if this exchange is occurring while the Changelings are examining their papers, or if this is occurring somewhere in mid-transit, but it could work either way.

"I see... you're the one they called us about. You have special instructions"
He hoofs him a sealed note

What follows is a synopsis of the letter's contents, if not a perfect transcript:

"Steel Otis is a Pony collaborator who used the opportunity of the Liberation of Equestria to rise from being a simple forepony of the Marion Mining Company, to being the Overseer of Taconite production for most of the Haysabi region of Whinnysota. He is aided by the Changeling head of Equine Resources for the Haysabi Taconite mines, a drone called "Fang Zu Lang." For most of the time that the mines have been operating, they have fallen behind in production and requested a more than normal share of equipment. This has been variously blamed on Pony sabotage and heavy rains, but deeper in Winter it is evident that that is not the cause. Otis is suspected of corruption, either selling the Iron himself, or worse, of treason by siphoning ore and materials for the partisans. Zulang, likewise, is believed to be guilty of corruption, and taking bribes to allow the continuation of non-productive behavior.

Your assignment is to collect evidence of said disobedient behavior, and then make an example of the guilty parties

They go forward even further. At least some of the coniferous trees have returned. The cart passes over a a stone bridge. On the other side is a wood and wrought iron rail bridge. On the otherwise in good shape bridge, some of the track ties seem broken in half, including a few falling down and held in place only by their connection to the rails

Going a little further up, at the top of the hill, is a grey stone stone general store, a church of the same grey stone, and a cluster of buildings around a small square.

Looking down the hill, off in the distance a big hole in the earth is visible beyond the tree line, and between the tree line and the hill top is much of the remainder of the town - rows of buildings mostly in an even, planned style, and mostly of that same wooden construction, treated with something that gives the wood a greyish hue. There is almost a second town center, bigger than at the hill top, with a three story building, a smaller building opposite, and elsewhere what looks like a red brick school house, even a cinema.

Brie leans over to Fun and whispers "Wir befinden uns immer noch in einem Bienenstock und sind auf Mission für die Königin. Wie heißt sie übrigens? Wie auch immer, Sie können sich jederzeit als Veränderliche herausstellen, aber bleiben Sie vorerst als Ponys, damit sie Sie nicht als Bedrohung sehen. Nutze die Offenbarung taktisch.
Ich empfehle eine Strategie, die vorgibt, die Jungetiere seien Adlige. Hast du die? Anders als die Königin natürlich; Oh ja, du hast mir ihren Namen gesagt."

Stepping into the grocer shows a set of rows of items of food. The grocery is pleasantly well stocked with a variety of food, including cheese, milk, a few items of vegetables, and bread produced in an attached bakery. There are no processed foods nor more complex baked goods,, though there is a small amount of beat sugar behind the counter. Everything seems to be locally sourced. There is a distinct lack of any tropical fruit, be it mangos or kiwis, and of any kind of food that would need to travel more than 100 miles.

"Alright gentlecolts, its game time! Here's the plan. We're a bunch of shady mercenaries who operate on behalf of the queen. We've intercepted someone in their organization who is trying to rat them all out for corruption and imbezzlement. That part will be played by Fun here!" He pats Fun on both shoulders. "We bring him in and demand to talk to the Overseer, using him and our identifications as leverage. Then, we knock the Overseer, one 'Steel Otis' out and replace him with Fun. Fun takes his appearance, and escorts us out of the facility, we all get into the cart, and then leave!" Brie exclaims (not too loudly of course).

"Erstens müssen Sie so tun, als wären Sie ein Gefangener. Wir werden deinen Kopf mit einer Tasche bedecken und dir die Hufe binden. Keine Sorge, das ist nur eine Ablenkung. Sobald wir drinnen sind, müssen wir vielleicht ein paar Ponys sinnlos schlagen. Ihre Hilfe wird dabei wertvoll sein. Sobald sie geschlagen sind und wir unseren echten Steinbruch haben, müssen Sie sein Aussehen annehmen und uns dann "aus dem Gebäude begleiten"."

He makes sure to comb all of those annoying little tangles as his focus is set on the luscious light red mane.

She’s still clearly a pony, but her mane and especially coat have a real different to them. The hair is longer, fluffier even, and more gifts around the legs and ears. Her coat is softer to pet than Cauldron’s - Cauldron has short hairs, and they are more coarse. These are long and nearly fluffy. Her mane flows down, and is less stiff than that of the zebra, which is able to stand straight up where short enough.

Her mane is kept long, but strangely fine. Irons hooves can only take out so many tangles

"Alright, places everypony,... er bug,... whatever." To Sparks and Onyx, Brie says "Remember, we're disreputable mercenaries." Then to Fun "Tut mir leid, aber es ist unsere beste Option. Ihnen wird kein bleibender Schaden zugefügt."
When Fun is ready, Brie places the bag over his head. He cuts a small piece of rope to bind Fun's forehooves, and then places the rope around Fun's neck like a leash. Checking Fun's appearance briefly he says. "Alright, let's proceed inside.!"

As they're leaving, as an afterthought, Brie looks over to Ruby. "We'll explain more when we get back." and with a wink, turns toward the office.

They go onwards. A guard stares them down as they move, but does not act. They go onwards, past cookie cutter buildings, past a railroad track, and through a set of woods. The trees are not even a hundred yards thick before a clearing. This clearing leads out into what could be thought of as a stunning sight

Beneath and before them lies a huge black pit of rock and ore, with valleys all of its own, spanning hundreds of acres and possibly more than a square mile. 100 feet deep (deeper?) at parts and spanning, though perhaps not to the horizon, certainly a fine distance. Inside are dozens of diesel trucks with steel beds, ponies hauling carts, and steam shovels. With magic, diesel, probably explosives, steam and sheer horsepower, they rend the earth and move it likely towards the left side of the mine.

On the mine’s left side is the sand railway line, with a long train with dozens of open cars, and a steam locomotive billowing black smoke into the air. This is next to a large facility that must crush, sort, and clean ore, at the edge of the nine. Below, inside the mind, are a set of trailers and a few more ponies. Elsewhere are what seems to be pumps.

Close to sprak are three seperate trailers. Two are lined up almost, but kind of angled inwards, and one is a bit off yet almost parallel to one of the others. There are a couple ponies who seem to be roaming around, going to the units

Brie opens the door. It looks like a lavenderish colored crystal pony is the one who responded. He has his winter coat loosen up, and lazily holds a steel mug in one hoof and a cigarette in the other. Inside he sees a few ponies and one changeling - who is as unenthusiastic to return to the cold as the ponies - sitting along a set of chairs, with a table in the center, mostly with coffee and or cigarettes

There are two of them. The black creatures are drones, wearing white, including a white fuzzy hat. It's a bit of a contrast because almost all of the ones they have met so far wore a grey uniform. They are obviously guards or other security staff. One looks at the door, the other back at Spark

Iron sees the signal of somegriff approach from Dark Star, taking the opportunity to charge at the one griffon courteous to come out of the boiler room into an arrow, charging at him with reckless abandon. Fully powered attack, hopefully in a good spot to tickle the griffon in just the right way into unconsciousness.

There is not quite an “order.”

There was more than one griffin that came into the boiler room, concerned about the lack of heat, the “lazy” maintenance team, and the gnolls evidently not doing a required job. Iron had Jubilosa and Blue Shekels come and lure the griffins into the hallway all of the creatures are in (which leads from a door in the boiler room). One griffin came through. Dark Star, with his chad email dice, scored a 20 and knocked down that griffin with blue skies following up his attack. Iron, with his virgin in line dice, scored a 1 and hurt himself on a wall.

I’m not going to tell you capture or kill

Okay, just to be clear: the remaining griffins are inside of a big room with plenty of pipes and such in it. The party is in a hallway that connects to a doorway in the very corner of the griffin room. There is not really a line of sight between the two.

The two ponies take Brie, and presumably Onyx and Spark, out side of the trailer, past waiting guards, and towards the north side of the pit. Down little hills of black and grey rock, past carts, towards an edge. There is some water a little distant, and the ground seems wet, maybe even muddy.

The shovel itself is a large contraption of metal color, with a big steel claw at its end, and a smoke pipe coming out of a side that must be the engine.
“See, it’s damaged.”

Brie actually can see damage on what is presumably engine housing. In fact, there’s a large tear or hash. A gash as if shredded with some giant blunt object. The tears are at least six inches long

Despite some of these machines being called steam shovels, this particular one is actually a smaller diesel power shovel

Blunt force applied from outside tearing through a steel engine housing, and disabling an oil line inside, as well as tearing into a gear box. It is harder to tell if the cover over the engine had as well been lifted to enable the dansge. As the damage is greater on the exterior than the interior, the damage was noticed before the shovel was run without oil, thus avoiding additional wear on the gear box and an engine low on oil.

The stairwell itself has an olden quality to it, with the mortar on the walls stained with water. Going up the stairs even a single floor gives a different look. White painted walls, and steps that are no longer decaying and questionable, but slightly newer and concrete. Through a closed brown door and....

Into a hallway, the hallway is straight and surrounded by white walls and and brown doors. Part of a wall bears the imprint of a removed celestial religious symbol, while the light fixtures seem to have been changed over time, but have a white cover over them to dull the yellow tint of the light. There are definite sounds of movement about on the floor, and of talking as well. On the left side are visible mostly evenly spaced doors, with some irregularity. One nearby is marked as a simple closet. Further down on the right side, the wall gives way to an open entrance to something else, maybe a central hall, room, atrium, or courtyard. The ceiling there is held up by simple square columns. To the left midway is something like a narrow way to an external door. To each end of the hall are corners where the hallway simply turns.

No whispering for Dark Star. Actually. Distant talk is mostly in a foreign language. In ponish only “we will meet up with them” is distinguishable from the mass

Door 1: Broom closet
Door 2: a public bathroom, including a section with showers. Not sure if Silver is eager to explore that given the possibility of running into some creature
Door 3: looks like a bedroom. Actually kind of decent if austere. Made bed with tree patterns, shelf of leather bound books, single chair, wooden floor (contrasted against concrete floors elsewhere)

Theoretically many. There are 4 rooms (each of which identified) a door to the outside, an open access to what seems to be a central hall, the hallway seems to wrap around the first floor in a square shape, going upstairs, knocking against the wall, banging Sands in the bathroom, and so forth

Dark Star and Iron are damned lucky that the sound of clipping on the floor does not sound too radically different from what the creatures can expect to hear in the night’s revelry.

It appears the be a central square floor at the center of an atrium. Above are at least two levels with railings. In the center of the square is a group of a dozen griffins at minimum, with a few going in and out. They are shouting, talking, and in a state of revery. They wear robed garments with various white, red, and brien coloring. A could have knives or shirt swords, but the great majority are either unarmed or must be carrying the weapons out of sight

Then she slowly, casually, walks back around Mala, slowly placing her hooves down, and doing so by pressing down the tip of the hoof before the remainder. She walks around him to his left side, stands there for a second, then lifts a hoof up and

"I want to catch unawares any guard or griffon that patrols or simply strolls around the hallways without a care in the world. Preferrably, it should be at a distance where melee weapons can be effective without them alerting the others."

The closet, likewise, has a simple layout. Certainly one can pop out. What is harder, is getting someone in the room, while hiding somewhere else in the room, without the new entrant knowing the other is hiding elsewhere in the same room. Most of these designs are too simple to enable that, except maybe minor furniture like desks

If Sands had a little more weight to her, greater speed, possibly a height advantage, or more of an element of surprise, she may well have knocked Iron off his hooves. Yet none of that is present here. She hits Iron like a solid wall. Her forehooves spread over his pack, she lands on him with an “Uph!” Then kind of twists around, and falls off.

His stroking, however, remains steadfast, starting to close the distance between their barrels, rubbing coats between eachother.
(This feeling... It's... rather nice. Is this what awaits living with a mare?)

“It might be the only thing worth a damn. We just know that not taking out the leader fails.”

Sands coat is likewise soft, with long hairs that are almost fluffy. Her barrel past the chest is thin for a pony, whether by malnutrition or a peculiarity of her design. Nothing seems unhealthy though. She stakes a step to the side, closing the gap

"Indeed."

He decides to lightly nuzzle Sands' neck, testing the boundaries of touch some more as his hooves keeps on passing through those silk red strands.
(I know for sure mares like Sands do not deserve this treatment. Beautiful, soft and comforting.)

Sands, however, smiles, and moves her head back, so her eyes can look upon Iron. Her neck gives way slightly as the coat is pressed aside, and hair falls upon Iron’s muzzle. She giggles

Iron, in turn, giggles with her as the mane and coat tickle his own, as well as his muzzle, cheeks flushed from the experience. His cheeks brushes along her neck softly and gently, wanting to make the feeling he has last for a bit longer.

He turns back to Skies, still under Sands' strands of mane.
"I believe the plan is settled so far. With your abilities, I bet you can silence any would-be screamers quickly, boss. After that, it's a round of questioning and knock-outs to figure out who is the leader."

"We will see if Star's idea works as well. I would also like to tear this place apart."

He turns to Sands, smiling sheepishly still under her mane
"I admit I cannot resist simple pleasures like these."
He nuzzles her neck some more, feeling the warmth and beat of her heart.
"I have longed for this."

"From what we read in file, and from what we heard from Boek and Maakie themselves, I am inclined to believe latter.

The mane is cold to the touch, but warns a bit from Iron’s own hear, as surely nothing escapes it. Her heart too, is a bit elusive, beating somewhere in there. Yet still her mane and coat are like a soft blanket, or a child’s plush toy, feeling somehow safe and familiar.

She responds,
“In a way... so I have I... among other cruelties of confinement... it’s been dreadfully lonely”

His ears swivel and his cheek lays on Sands' smooth yet oddly cold mane and coat as she utters those words, one foreleg wrapping along her crest to comfort her.
"I completely understand," Iron whispers to her from under her mane. "I hope this helps you as much as it does me."

“That makes sense. I don’t think think the decision of the Principality to stop immigration raids after their one very successful one did much to help. They stopped casting nets for little fish, only wanting to catch the sharks. What they didn’t realize was that Sharks are caught mostly in the nets cast for the little fish, and in any event, they certainly weren’t disrupting their food supply.”

While Iron has the small curiousity poking him in the back, wanting to know what happened to her, he knows better than to ask directly.
He therefore decides to keep up the nuzzling, hoping his expressions of physicial affection would quell the sorrow she most likely has for being stuck in there for Gods know how long.

Yes. I don’t know if this is midnight or something, but midnight last encountered on of the griffins who inhabits the structure in the hallway, who stumbled upon Meadows. Midnight told the griffin that she was part of a band of home-invasion robbers/mentally ill homeless people who were “passing through” the private property. The griffin freaked out as any creature would, but was shot by Dark Star.

It lead to a fascinating discussion about the ethics of targeting an evident non-combatant, which sadly just kind of... died

Onyx wonders around. A few miners are kind of doing nothing, some are moving frantically or fearfully, looking around. Some are almost lazily going about normal business. A crystal pony stallion operates a drill going into the ground as he smokes a cigarette. Lowe shovels pick up rick and place it into carts and trucks. Further away, Changelings watch over all.

He looks up to onyx for a moment, Onyx being much taller. Then, back to the machine. It’s a large power shovel with a huge claw on the end of a metal arm that itself has many large steel teeth. It has a large box-like structure on a set of tracks with a little open cabin where a pony could drive it.

Shid. I don't wanna go into detail on the board, so the short version is that recent events have led him unnecessarily, but unerringly to question the validity and quality of himself and the game. He lashed out at a couple of the players self included and I tried to politely and objectively talk him down without apparent success. What did occur was not intended to trigger a response from him, it was made entirely outside and to not involve him. Unfortunately that was also part of the problem.

There is a big difference between pony art and irl hoers. I know it's similar to the argument furfags put out but they sexualize human-ish personalities with animal bodies; in other words it's a fetish. Ponies are an idealized species in their own right and have radically different personalities, habits and cultures compared with humans while remaining sapient; at worst it's the same as aliens from Mass Effect. As such it's a big jump from drawn pony art to horses which are not sapient.

You could argue that the use of real horses as models for realistic art (because that's what artists do) is a gray area. Also, while ponies in the early days were drawn almost exclusively with human anatomy, a majority of explicit art now is anatomically correct and often has crotchboobs, so you can hypothesize about the influence there. I think the only thing objective you can say about this is that porn of any kind is degenerate, though that of 2d ponies is relatively less so.

tl;dr don't feel bad, DM, if you don't like something but don't be afraid to tell others in the thread if you object to it

To be fair, horses were exempted from bestiality in the past since they were seen more as equals/companions rather than mere animals. Sure, they can't speak our language, create tools or build the society we live in, but they are much more complex creatures than you give it credit for.
Preferences aside, it's not like horse vagina is by itself porn. The image is not intentionally causing arousal to anyone. In fact, The source for the pics were for veterinarian purposes, while the three spoilered images are mostly to appreciate the beauty of the equine in question.

That’s not far off from how I imagined her. The way the mane falls down is pretty much what I imagined, as is the body shape. The biggest difference, besides of course the complete absence of any kind of body piercing and probably of any jewelry bar perhaps a religious necklace, is that Black Cauldron is supposed to have a mostly realistic zebra color pattern of black and white, not the grey with small black stripes Zecora has

More or less, but I’d add more black to her and make the stripes go further, down the belly and on the neck. Also she’s supposed to have like a black lower jaw but white upper jaw past the snout. That’s only really possible to depict in stylized versions where the muzzles are longer, which is kind of how I think of these characters

The color scheme isn't what's complicated. It's more about the stripe patterns that could be time consuming, since I can't really visualize how they'd look like since it's so unique for each zebra.

tbch I can see why as it is the best option for a desperate nomad
Still, explain to anyone in the past several hundred years that it is less objectionable than using, for example, a deer, and you'd be given a wide berth. Understandably so; Metokur watched a documentary of people who got hooked on horse poon (yes, it exists) and they definitely came across as freaks. I know it's not a real "argument" but yours could apply to any particularly complex animal like elephants or dolphins. I once read a science-fiction novel where a woman and a dolphin fell in love with each other (it was pretty bad).
I can't say anything about the picture since I haven't been following this thread very well (still catching up) and I got into the controversy after it was deleted. I'll just say that when I was 12 I read (human) biology textbooks just so I could flip to those pages.


>>118792
Agreed, styles and shapes are what make drawing something tough, especially if the zebra in question isn't in the Ponymaker "standing stiffly facing to the side" stance. It's the same reason why drawing hands is really challenging.

Is Zwolf/Sands a mare?

Sands is a mare but Zwolf... not sure.

There's one big difference between a horse and the other examples provided. A deer is not yet domesticated, and elephants and dolphins are too inconvenient to fuck from having to have either tons of food and water (elephant) or a big body of water to submerge themselves in (dolphins) There's a reason horses are one of the most famous animals to fuck, and that's because of its accessibility and intelligence. Dogs and cats are way too small and can never really consent, but if a mare doesn't want your dick in her, her vaginal muscles are not going to let the penis in. Sometimes, though, they need relief from estrus, and they don't mind using males from other species to quell their needs as long as she trusts them. This implies consent. This is why the nomads chose the mare. Because the mare wanted to get rid of her biological urge to mate and the human was there to provide.

I know, right?

Sigh

Some species of bees have the ability of workers to lay eggs after a Queen has been lost, or is failing and not replaced. Normally, the queen’s pheromones prevent the development of ovaries, but they can develop in some workers after a prolonged absence of the pheromones.

Bees have a chromosome set where females have 150% of a normal chromosome set, and males have 100%. A fertilized Queen will always lay worker eggs, an unfertilized Queen will lay only drones. Even a fertile days queen can lay underutilized (drone) eggs. Queens come from the same fertilized eggs as workers. Queen larva become such when workers place the egg in “Royal Jelly” that stimulates development into a Queen. Workers do not possess the ability to store sperm. As such, egg-laying workers can only ever lay unfertilized eggs, which always become drones. There is a species of bee in South Africa that had the ability to kind of mix genes in the eggs it lays, allowing it to lay worker eggs through an asexual process. Workers in hives will tend to eat or remove eggs laid by other workers, and not by the Queen. The high degree of social relation between the members of the hive (something like a 75% genetic similarity between workers rather than the normal 50% in sexually reproducing species) helps kinship-altruism and social behavior.

Ants go a step further than bees, having some female workers called “gamergates” that have the capacity to store sperm. They can reproduce sexually, and can even entirely replace queens, whereas egg-laying worker bees cannot. I am unsure about wasps.

Changeling workers would gather nectar and produce honey for the hive in much the same way as bees. Because they could travel very far from the hive and be gone for very long periods of time, any kind of change that would cause a Changeling to become an egg-layer would take a very long amount of time.

Nevertheless, a worker is a rare find as far as I know.

Without going into too much detail, an issue between the GM and Ash spiraled out of control and started to engulf certain players here. He's felt abandonded by the players and came pretty much to within a hair's width of abandoning the campaign altogether. Things have been getting better since, but he's still a bit down. But, at least, I know he is planning to continue the campaign.
Oh, and a recommendation: the GM likes cute Lunas. Maybe some of those will cheer him up?

She starts to sit up, and looks away. Her head over to the bookshelf, but her eyes further up and to the right, with almost focused eyes and a harder expression
“No no... you are alright”

“No.... I don’t have a chain assigning me down...”
Her voice is almost empty
“I don’t have a zebra at home, for instance....”

Now, her head turns back to Iron. Her muzzle faces his firmly, and both of her eyes look right at him. She has dense green eyes. These are not the light green eyes that normally come to mind when you hear the term “green eyes,” those yellow-tinted glasses that are the color of spring tree leaves, at the greenest. These are darker, much darker and denser, like pine tree needles at dusk. And they are staring at Iron

That is a shocklingly difficult question to answer. The robes are made from a base fabric of relatively mundane industrially woven cloth of wool or cotton not significantly different from what is normally available, even if they were specially tailored. The problem is: cotton is flammable, and wool is flame resistant. And it’s hard to figure out if they would be wool or cotton

Now she moves her body .She tries to use her legs to pull her rump forward, and under iron. Her hind legs are almost graceful pulling her forward, and under Iron. Then she lies down on her back, places her forehooves against the wall, and pushes back, trying to get back into position. She moves her thighs apart. Her inner thighs have shorter hair, almost velvety, and guard underneath two small teets with pink nipples. Further down, even a small portion of a pink skinned vulva is visible. Mostly, however, Iron can see the white velvet fur, from her chest down, with some parts of her ribs poking through. With a glow of green magic almost the color of her eyes, she moves her tail, straightening it out, and moves her mane, long and flowing on her chest, off to the side. Her hooves now hang as she has an awkward smile on her face. The tufts of fur above her hooves are more noticeable than before.

Iron has a blank expression before a metaphorical torch lights up his memory.
"Wait! I remember I talked to one rather aggressive unicorn mare at the bar one time."
However, he still smiles sheepishly.
"Although I have to admit I have not been long here. I recently got out of under the rock, if you catch my meaning."
He raises a foreleg to gently caress Sands' chest with his hoof.

How exactly are they positioned? Is Sands pressed up against a wall on her neck? Are they on a bed?
Is Iron to her side and which side? Is he lying down and if not how is he maintaining his modesty?

I'm just saying that spatial clarity helps a lot with any sort of scene.

Iron is currently on top of Sands on a bed.
She's belly up while Iron is standing. Her legs could potentially wrap around Iron if she wanted to and Iron could easily penetrate her if he wants to.

They are on a bed. Sands is kind of pressed up against the wall with not much room for her head to move, while she is laying down on her back, and Iron is over her in a move or less sexual position

Because Iron doesn't really care if his stallionhood is out in this instance. Not to mention he basically promised her safety if she sticks by him, so she's not about to complain about an unsheathed cock, especially after drawing the line on the activity.

Silver jumps down on the creature. From behind, a loud “sling!” and the shower curtain explodes in a frenzy, the blue opaque plastic giving way to brown and tan. First a beak, then the slim body of a cat exits, jumps out, then bounds off the floor in as a cat in pounce does. Slower to start, the pangolin pony follows behind, with a loud “clop” as her hooves hit the floor in a powerful, of less graceful manner. Claws from the griffin lurch forward and onto Silver’s quarry, followed by the added hooves

General emotional state?
Well he's still kinda horny and eager to please in whatever way possible if his erect phallus is any hint of that. Aside from that, he is intrigued by this poetry stuff Sands is currently talking about as well as her questioning of his relationship with her and Cauldron. There is a looming frustration over his inability to properly reach a satisfactory conclusion with Cauldron due to his insecurity as a provider but ultimately does have hope he can meet the need of both Sands and Cauldron in all aspects given enough time.
Is that good?
