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.

From behind him he feels the dark wind blowing. In front of him...

The must have just wrapped up the fall leave-falling ceremony, as the pegasi are ready to bring in Winter. There's Lyra, there's Berry Punch, there's the Carousel Boutique. As he passes by Sugarcube corner he just might be able to see the famous Pinkie Pie

He feels a little out of place with so many happy, colorful ponies in town, so unlike him in appearance. He casts a conscious glance at his own body as he trots by a group of ponies, knowing full well how odd he must look to them.

He stops by Sugarcube Corner, asking the colt on his back if he'd like something from there.

Out of place? He is young, and no strange clothing or armor. None other than The Mare herself answers
"Do you want some cupcakes? We have them specially made"

She looks at him for a few seconds, before she can no longer hold back laughter
"I'm just kidding. But we do have cupcakes. And muffins, and cakes, and cinnamon rolls...." She goes on endlessly

The little colt just shakes his head and smiles. He's just happy to be shown all of this

They wave, joyfully, and approach. Well, maybe Silver Rain is more interested in bread and jam, but he goes too. The color of the scene cuts out, into black and white. No matter, as his whole family is shades of grey.

He could bask in the glow of that smile for all eternity. As it stands, however, he doesn't want to disappoint her by not eating anything from the picnic. He takes a bite out of his pear jam-covered bread. "You know, I really like this place. All ponies here seem so nice and happy."

Sorry for the super late response. I feel asleep
Iron nods. "I see. There has been many injustices upon you. Your mother was killed by meddling in griffon business and a bunch of zebra took over the house, kicked out by the mayor himself." He closes in on Star and pats him on the shoulder on his foreleg. He opens his mouth but does not know what to say. "I am unsure of what can I say to make you feel better, but opening up to Skies could prove useful. After all, she lost her homeland, like you."

The pie, the green grass, and the picnic quilt briefly lose clarity as space folds before him. The fold straightens, but color is lost, and in that moment the pie appears a deep ashen white and grey. Then the image returns to technicolor majesty. Beautiful blades of grass and blood red apples

Silver looks clearly spooked, having no idea what's going on. Storm looks at him in worry.

Storm: "Is something wrong, Silver?"

Silver tries to shake his head to clear it, before actually taking a bite of the pie.

Butterflies fly across flowers on the edge of the hill. Looking over the river ponies canter about through ponyville, as the gentle sound of flowing water fills the air

To say that the apple pie tastes like raw potato would be praise beyond merit. It tastes more like wood ash, although at least with a better texture

"Ah, guten morgan." Brie relaxes a bit, Eee'ing to himself about how sleeping under a bed wasn't as good an idea as he had initially thought. He shuffles out from under the bed, careful to make as little noise as possible (stealth) "Bist du hungrig?"

"..." Silver slowly puts the pie back down on the plate, worrying Storm even further. She moves over to his side, throwing a wing around him.

Storm: "Okay, Silver, is something actually wrong? You've been acting weird."

Silver: "Like I said, I do not know...I think...something is wrong?" Silver looks confused about whether he should feel as though something is wrong. "My vision has been doing weird things, and my sense of taste has been almost non-existent. It has me worried..."

Storm: Storm gives him a deadpanned look. "...You know, if you have an issue with my cooking, you can just say so. I think we're beyond that stage in our relationship."

Silver: Silver looks shocked at her. "Wh-what? No! Of course not!"

Meanwhile, a sneaky Spectral Streak makes his way behind Silver Rain. He makes a clicking noise with his mouth to draw Rain's attention, then goes in for a surprise boop once Rain's head turns.

Spec: "Air tag, go!" Spec takes off into the air, leaving behind a surprised and fairly annoyed Rain.

Rain: "Celestia dangit!" He spreads his wings to be ready to take off into the sky. Silver looks over when he speaks.

Silver: "Language."

Rain flinches from the tone, but looks apologetically to his father. "Right. Sorry, dad." With that, he takes off after his brother, starting an intense game of air tag. Spec is the faster flier, but Rain is the smarter flier, resulting in an interesting chase in which Spec would try to outfly his brother, before unknowingly flying into a trap set up by Rain, and having to break off and fly in a new direction.

When all characters fall asleep. Think Sims logic. Time goes forward at fast speed automatically when everyone goes to bed. That's why Ash has not really done anything, besides external life commitments, and Silver is currently dreaming and not waking up like you are doing

So, just to clarify. Changelings can feed on emotions that are done at the moment without any draining to the victim? Like hugging them or stroking their manes?
