Hey Starchbottom, any plans for yourself after Queen Delightful retires? Do you plan on sticking by her side or going your own separate way?

He opened his mouth to speak, but promptly shut it again, frowning deeply. What would he do when the Queen retired? He hadn't given it much thought, since it still seemed so far away-- why, she was still young, unmarried, no heir... Barring a sudden tragedy, she was set to rule for many years yet.

But still, one could reasonably assume that she would retire someday...

"I... don't know?" he answered honestly. "I mean, I hope we're still friends by that point, and I'd like to think we'd still be in each other's lives. Maybe not as much as we are right now, since she wouldn't need me to, well... do so much for her, since we wouldn't be running the kingdom, but..."

He didn't complete the thought. He wasn't sure he wanted to.

Hey Starchy, wanna go on a date with me? uwu

"Oh! Well, uh... that's... awfully forward..." he said stiffly, mind immediately jumping to all of the ways this could go wrong. He didn't know a thing about this person! What if they were some kind of creep? What if they had an ulterior motive, like intrigue, or espionage, or simply to make him look foolish? What if he showed up to the date, and was never heard from again?

What if they were secretly a Gnome?

"Wait, what's that?" he said abruptly, cupping a hand to his ear; it was dead silent. "Oh, darn, duty calls! I'm on my way, Your Majesty!"

And with that, he swiftly removed himself from the situation.

[aidetothequeen-archived2024]

Any embarrassing school story that you never told anyone?

"Surprisingly? No. Which is kind of weird, considering..."

He just sort of gestured to all of himself.

[aidetothequeen-archived2024]

Would you rather have the ability to fly or the ability to breathe under water?

He had to think about this one. On the one hand, flight would mean a lot fewer injuries from falling off of ladders or tumbling down the stairs. On the other hand... he found himself unwillingly recalling that dreadful afternoon, when he'd first met the Princess of Mareth and they'd both nearly drowned*. Granted, if he'd had the ability to fly, then it's likely neither of them would have ended up in the water in the first place.

"Flight. Final answer."

Would you rather tap dance with a spider or waltz dance with a ghost?

Starchy couldn't help but grimace, but he assumed "neither" wasn't an acceptable answer.

"Waltz with a ghost, hands down. At least ghosts used to be people... and I guess sort of still are? I'm... not really sure how that works, actually. I've never stuck around long enough to ask one, and if I did, it would probably be kind of rude..."

He shook his head, snapping himself out of his tangent. "Anyway, yeah. Ghost waltz, because ghosts don't have a dozen beady eyes, or dripping fangs, or a bunch of icky, wiggly legs."

Hey Starchy,can you tell me who will win a fight between a shark and thousand piranhas?

It was a strange question, but a welcome distraction from the drudgery of his daily chores as he stopped what he was doing to consider it for a moment.

"Well... I don't think piranhas can live in saltwater, but I've heard that some sharks can swim upstream into rivers and even lakes sometimes. So assuming they could even meet up... my money's on the piranhas. They're smaller, so they could probably turn faster than the shark and get around behind or underneath it. Plus, I mean. There'd be a thousand of them."

💣

Ah. A lit bomb. Because of course something like this would happen.

Starchy shrieked in alarm, tossing the explosive out the nearest window before huddling under a side table on the opposite side of the room. There was a beat, and then a BOOM that rattled the very foundation of the castle, sending water from the moat splashing halfway up the wall.

Pick three icons at random and then write lines corresponding with each one.

“Don’t you think you could do that somewhere else? Some people are trying to work, y’know!”

“Welcome to my life. This is what I deal with every day.”

“Hey! Why don’t you get over here and say that to my face!”

Send "Icons only" and something for my muse to react to

And I will show my muse's reaction using only icons (1-5) and no text

[aidetothequeen-archived2024]

((This is a friendly reminder to please not write my character’s reactions for me. Not only is it presumptuous, but it also falls under godmodding, which is against my rules.))

“Spill it!”

It’s Munday! Send “Spill!” for the mun to reveal something about the muse, and the muse to reveal something about the mun!

((Starchy has some truly terrible luck with birds. Chickens, geese, nergin dingslingers-- they will chase him down on sight. Even Mr. Bristles and Squire Peckington have been known to give him sass.))

"My mun is very much a 'yes, and' kind of person, and they like to play by the Rule of Cool and the Rule of Funny. If they like an idea, they will take it and start running."

"My mun was going to be a knight this past Halloween, but they ended up having to work that day and their chain mail would have gone against the company's costume guidelines, so they went dressed as this... weird little gremlin man with slicked back hair and two-tone glasses."

I hope you realize that the queen loves you and really values you, and the 7D respect you for hard work and dedication to her majesty. We wuv you. :3

He was taken aback by the grey's sudden words of affirmation-- so much so that he stopped in his tracks, his train of thought completely derailed and whatever task he'd been up to forgotten.

"Well... yeah, I know..." he mumbled, fidgeting with the hem of his cape as a shy smile graced his lips. "But thanks for reminding me. It can be easy to forget sometimes, y'know?"

[aidetothequeen-archived2024]

“A hug?” The rag doll spread her arms towards him in offering. “I’ll give you a hug, if you want.”

He wordlessly accepted. It had been a long day.

[aidetothequeen-archived2024]

Aww, does someone need a hug?

"...Probably. But not from you," he hummed.
