Occupied Equestria is an RP campaign set in a post-Equestria Equestria, where the princesses are gone, as are the Elements of Harmony. Gone, temporarily at least, but not by any means forgotten.

New players are welcome.

Fantasy Play has a few "kitties" to cuddle with
Brie has a Changeling Queen to negotiate with
Iron has some gangsters to beat
Silver has some follow up to do
Amber is exploring her new home
Spark is either looking for forest demons, or negotiating the fate of a tribe of Wolves
Midnight has more cultists to kill
Onyx has a colt to look after
Dark Star has some communists to kill

"Ah, it is nothing."

He gives his griffon a squeeze, and returns to watching television.

There is a gangway plank (exactly one) up to the ship. The gangplank has a rope across it to signify that the ship is not open, although the rope clearly wouldn't and couldn't stop someone determined to ignore it

>>133140
Griffin is squeezed

She seems to like the affection. When the Orchestra is finished with the song, they play a different melody. This new melody, much, much older in its origins, is among those recognized as a "classic"

Hopefully the gangway has railings, because Amber has already made her mind up. She ducks under the rope and tentatively goes up.

>>133129

For the proper experience watch in 144p, though even that is probably too good for TVs of the time.

>>133134
Aww, I'm still looking forward to you joining.

And Amber moves under the rope. (Yes, it does have railings). It takes Amber up a level to a covered walk way on the first floor of the structure above the hull. There are any number of portals and windows to the side.

Ponies have to steer a ship at the front to see where they're going, right?
She trots over to the bow deck of the ship.

The camera switches, showing a close up of a unicorn playing the violin, crossing the string back and forth.

"Huh?"

Now Amber is obviously not very knowledgeable about modern ship layout, but she knows that upstairs is probably the best place to look around, so she goes up.

It looks like there isn't an external stairs to go up to the next level. There are a couple doors, however, to go into the structure. From Where amber is, she can see the bridge, the white superstructure, and the forward mast.

>>133150
She shakes her head
"What is that supposed to be?"

The griffin comes closer. He blocks Amber's only known path out of the ship

"The ship is closed at the moment. You can't be here kid"
He looks like he is wearing the uniform of some company. His facial expression is stern and not really friendly. He has a definite accent, so strong it's hard to understand him. What that accent is, Amber can't really say, but it's different than that of the griffins she encountered earlier

>>133162
"Uh... let me check"
She moves back, and looks down the hallway, and then comes back
"Sure. He's up the stairs, second door on the left. Go there, and only there."

Into the hallway with tile floors, and up the wooden stairs, Spark knocks on the door to a "come in," and opens to see a lab with metal tables, beakers, a microscope, and a dark green pony who glistens in multiple shades.

"Back to Rottendam. This ship has been holed up in harbor for three months, for fear even a ship under nuetral flag is not safe. But we've wrestled her from the colonial customs, and the Republican Navy is all smashed to pieces as of a week ago. She is set to leave again in a few days."

"Oh. Right." She squeezes by, a stupid expression on her face. I didn't know we were at war with Skyfall. Or maybe Feathisia is. Hopefully whenever I can afford a newspaper I won't be making an ass out of myself.

He looks at the rock dust under a microscope
"This is cummingtonite. It's a crystal, almost fibrous, made of iron and silica. It occurs right alongside the Magnetite we mine in the same rocks. It's produced as a waste in tailing. It's not directly poisonous... But I wouldn't recommend eating it."

>>133177
Khoi sits down on the couch, looking almost like she's waiting for something as she watches the television. Mala seems to have zoned out, but looks content. Jubilosa is unambiguously enjoying the moment.

A Stallion stands before the screen, evidently the conductor:
"Alright, that was Symphony B from Beathooven by the Baltimare Symphony Orchestra. Now, for Starlight's Walz."

"I don't know. It's normally iron and silicate, but sometimes its Manganese. It's forms crystalline structures that are sometimes fibrous, almost like asbestos... I couldn't tell you what happens if you inhale or drink it. There are not usually heavy metals. Maybe Calcium or Sodium, but mostly silicate rocks."
