Set six years after season 6, Occupied Equestria presents an alternative history where the Changelings have conquered half of Equestria, while a former Equestrian colony - soured to Princess Twilight's notion of harmony with all creatures because of their encounters 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
In the North, in Bales, Brie has just aquired a carriage with which he shall make the journey into the Changeling Occupied Zone, alongt with Spark and Onyx. In Baltimare, Dark Star recouperates from injuries sustained in a near fatal encounter with a Changeling opperative. Silver helps treat two traumatized orphans, and Iron examines ancient secrets in the Jungles

That, or the New Marelanders just cum straight on the spot when seeing such an authoritative and strong mare

You could take this downtime for some of that Big Dialogue that Fleshes out the New Best Pony. I'll try some small talk with Cauldron for the time being.

Well, shit, guess Silver needs to get done galivanting with the colts, soon.
Also, I'm finished with the drawing of Dark Star. Just need to get it scanned, then I can post it. For some reason, it looks a bit more like anime than I was expecting it to, and I don't know why.

On a limb that is set up to hang from a wall, Silver sees one. It’s a bat, hanging upside down, and looking at Silver
Thankfully it is not one of those perfidious web-winged, slit-eyed, vampire-fanged, fluff eared Pegasi, who worship dark forces in their mountain-top cult gathering under the light of the moon, or join communist newspapers and the puppet governments in greatly disproportionate numbers. No, it is a regular bat, completely red in color, with big, cute eyes, and with the dots and texture if a strawberry. Another one hangs nearby, having the coloration and texture of a purple grape

He sees it soon enough. Lethargic but menacing, there are at least two visible, both perched from their dead branches. They are bats of black and grey, with pug noses, wrinkled faces, and visible fangs. Multiple shriveled apples litter the otherwise clear floor

"I suppose it would be for best that they remained so." Silver sighs. "But alas, they are real, undead ponies brought back by necromantic magics and bloodsucking denizens of night. Used to be, long ago, there were many great vampiric clans spread across Equestria. Or so I have heard. Celestialist crusaders were very efficient in seeking them out and dragging them into light over past few centuries. As far as I know, only remaining vampires in world live in Dread League, far in frozen northeast of Griffonia, still under watch of Arcturian Order." Silver himself isn't sure on how many vampires remain in Equestria. They don't exactly openly give away their positions and numbers, after all.

The pony in front of Brie, who is dressed fairly proper and has a briefcase:
“Yes, this is a checkpoint to enter Blueberry Fields, specifically the town of Hawthorne. You can navigate the Changeling Zone If only you can convince them that you are there for a purpose. Be absolutely sure to carry your papers at all times, and make certain you have them in order when you cross, and when you try to get back. Avoid eye contact with any creature in a Hegemony uniform where possible. They feel like they have the right to search you, or even to steal off your pony. And the ponies themselves sometimes want to steal your papers.”
A yellowish Pegasus coming from the other direction:
“Why would you want to enter? Well, if you do, hold on to any papers you have. The Changelings do not take kindly to foreign visitors, but they are much nicer to foreign subjects than to their own... ‘livestock.’ But try to not look like you are aiding partisans. They are fond of arrests. When you try to come back, don’t think it’s easy to run the border... they have guards, and magical alarms over their walls. But the more rural areas do not have walls. The Fascists are similar in some ways. They don’t care about most ponies entering, but they fear every pony that enters could be a disguised Changeling infiltrator, or an agitator or partisan. They will try to track you down and ask questions, and will send you back if you fail. But they do not care if you do or do not have any kind of papers. They are not fond of ponies who resist the Changelings. They think any pony who will take up arms against the Changelings may take up arms against them.”

"Well..." Silver thinks for a second. "...there might be one, maybe two clans left in Equestria. There are all sorts of rumors coming from Tramplevania and Trottingham. They would most like be hiding from rest of world. I have not had fortune, or misfortune to some, to meet one in person. I have heard some being referred to as heroes in their own tales, protecting ponykind from shadows without ever being seen. I have heard tales of them being villians, preying upon hapless ponies in dark alleyways and streets on moonless nights. And I have heard tales of them simply trying to survive, hunted for simply existing, on run for rest of their ageless, deathless lives. Nopony really knows, except perhaps vampires themselves, or very rare half-vampire offspring.
"Now, those vampires who live in Dread League, who work underneath Coven of Blood...those would most certainly be evil."

Thus Silver relates his tales to White Orchid and Mint Marine. Perhaps Silver tells them of nocturnal ponies, perhaps ordinary bat ponies, lynched by weary townsfolk after disappearances or murders. Perhaps Silver relates to them the story of an evident serial killer who stalked the streets of Trottingham in the night when Silver was their age, and who brutally killed a number of mates there. Perhaps Silver decides to tell them about the all too real and present threat of Changelings, vampires by another name. Either way, little Orchid seems excited by this
“It’s like the fairy tales!” He seems amazed, if not convinced of the existence of legendary vampires
Mint Marine, by contrast, correlates Silver’s stories with a silent movie he saw when he was younger with his Grandmother. He was terrified by the creeping, elder vampiric figure, and he seems afraid now, cowering

When there's an afraid foal, it's a father's job to comfort them. Something Silver knows all to well as he goes to Mint and pats him on the back. "It is okay. Most vampires who would be left in Equestria, as I understand it, are just ordinary ponies, like you or me. They just want to make it another day. Still, you have big ponies like me to help keep you and others safe from any mean old vampires that have thirst for blood."
He turns to White Orchid. "I suppose it is little bit, yes. I do wonder what they truly are like, even with danger meeting one could pose. I have heard they have super-equine strength, ability to turn into bats or wolves, and ability to command minions or other creatures of night."

Mint Marine is not fully placated: “but they drain ponies completely of their blood!”

After thinking about it further, I think what I had thought I would do in dialogue due Iron is best saved for later

Alrighty. I shall Iron-post.
Iron squints his eyes on the path ahead.
"How long have we been walking?"

"When I know ponies like you are in trouble, I will go to great lengths to see you made safe, even if there is threat that I would lose all of my blood." He ruffles Mint's mane. He's starting to like the action, himself, even if he's the one doing the mane-ruffling. "Either way, I do not know where you have been hearing about vampires, but I do not think they can suck out all of your blood. Or at least, it would take them very long time to do so."

The heavy clip clops continues as the duo travels ever closer to the pots.
"Alright. Do you remember the plan?"

"That I would. But I doubt I would need to." He smiles at Mint. "You have nothing to fear from vampires. I can tell you there would be none here in city, and certainly none that would try to hurt you. Besides, vast majority are just like you or me. They have their hopes, their dreams. They just want to live their lives...err, 'un-lives' as best as they can." He's suddenly reminded of his (short) time with the changeling drones, and how much like ponies they can seem to be, when you get past their...strange eating habits. Perhaps that is what many vampires are like. Maybe not. I do not know.

Somehow I keep missing Brie's player. I kind of need to cook up a plan with him because we are entering a critical part of the mission now.

He nods.
"We will first try to simply take the pots. If they stop us or have taken at least one of them, we bring up our massive contributions to reach this temple and securing it from the bandits. If that does not work, we intimidate. The last part can either be knocking them out or killing them."
His mind reminds him of the possible option to woo the history mare.
"Hopefully we do not have to come to that."
He nods.

“I’ve never been in a circumstance quite like this before, and I don’t know these two ponies. All I can say is expect them to ‘know somepony’ or something like that”

The three go down to the usual room, which still retains many of the features from its origins as a hotel room, despite its current purpose as a secure conference or interrogation room
They sit down. Sea Breeze says,
“Tell me precisely what you heard, and what happened”

"I did not say they were harmless. I said I believe they were much like us. I mean, would you go and try to suck another foal's blood out for no reason?"

He gets a chuckle out of that. "Fair enough, but point still stands: would you just attack somepony randomly without reason?"

“Well that’s what I saw in the movie...”
He trails off at the end of this softly spoken sentence. He pulls his head back and a little of the the side as he breaks eye contact.
“But they drink your blood. It feeds them, or gives them superpowers or something...”

"Perhaps. It might be they need that life essence to continue to live. I do not know. But there are easier ways to acquire blood than attacking ponies, especially if you are vampire trying to avoid being found out. It might be they can subsist on blood packs, instead." He lifts an eyebrow at Mint. "What movie did you see, exactly?"

"That may be Hard Sir, I Don't Exactly Remember that much previous to getting filled with lead. Except the Fact that the police mare i was talking to turned into a Changling."

He looks at Dark Star seriously
“Did she say anything?”
>>103832
Mint Marine’s eyes go up at the thought of vampires acting his life essence as well as his blood
“It was...” he looks up trying to remember “No-Nose...” he struggles a bit more, but eventually conceded defeat
“I don’t quite remember...”
To the side can be heard a “RAAA!” and a “whihehehe!” whinnying sound as White Orchid rears back, then moves back in fear from the aviary cage

Unfortunately for Mint, this new occurrence takes priority. Silver jumps up and quickly tries to get a hoof on what's going on.

A bat has hissed or otherwise made a threatening sound directed at White Orchid, who was startled by the noise, and now Mint Marine is somewhat startled as well

Silver sighs, though he's slightly amused at his coltish antics...so long as he doesn't get hurt by them. "You are both alright, yes?"
