fyi i will usually just follow the tone of an ask unless you specify what kind of response you want. ie if your ask is formatted as roleplay I'll roleplay in response, if it's kind of silly i'll be silly back, etc.

Key?

> The voice was small, but oh-so recognizable.

> Tahlullah walked from the ladder to where Key was standing, grabbing at the elder's hands.

I- I need help.

> The 8 year old's voice cracked.

Lucy's going insane, she- she slapped me.

Is.. Does anyone actually like Manburg?

- @tahlullahs-askbox

Key looked down at her with wide eyes, and drew in a shaky breath.

“Lucy.. what..?” He whispered in shock, mostly to himself. He shook his head slightly, he couldn’t linger on that right now.

“I don’t- I don’t know, Lullah.” He paused, wishing that better words of comfort would come to him, to no avail. “I- I don’t. I hope you know that. Gods, I wish that went for everyone,” he whispered hoarsely.

Something about being in Manburg had always given him a sense of unease, which had only grown in his time being there. Of course, it hadn’t ever felt the same without Lucy and Lullah. It was not and would never be L’Manburg. It was not his home.

[keys-askbox]

I hope I know I made the right choice. Lucy and Lullah will do anything for this nation, I know that.

Everything will happen today. I just hope nothing goes awry..

[keys-askbox]

As L'Manburgs secretary of state, what's your current opinion on the prospect of a constitution? Is one in works?

- 🐟

I do think one would be something to look into, though we don’t have one currently in the works, no. I would approach Lucy, but I’m a bit hesitant as she seems… busy, as of late.

[keys-askbox]

What if

I gave you some bees 👉👈

- @chaos-the-banished

I WILL MARRY YOU

[keys-askbox]

How do you feel about bees 🐝

Don't even get me started oh my god I love bees

[keys-askbox]

hello? keys, isn't it? i thought i would introduce myself...

-ivy 🌿

Uh, yeah? I've never heard of an Ivy before. Who are you?

[keys-askbox]

I like what you’re doing. You do what is good and right.

Keep doing exactly what you are doing.

- ⭐️

uh, thank you! :]

[keys-askbox]

> Tahlullah knocks on Key's door.

Keys? Are you doing okay, after the whole.. battle?

- @tahlullahs-askbox

Key opened the door, surprised to see Tahlullah staring up at him. "Oh, hello, Lullah."

"I-" Not really. Not at all, actually. "I've been... coping! Distracting myself with other things, you know? I've done lots of farming and even extended the Prime Path!"

He looked down at her. She was so young, and she didn't deserve to feel the sting of betrayal yet, or ever. "I hope you're doing okay. There's no need to worry about me."

[tahlullahs-askbox]

I.. saw Dragon, earlier.

> Tahlullah smiled looking up at Key with that face she always had when she did something she wasn't supposed to.

Do.. you know if anyone on our side is.. particularly any good at bows? That's not me?

[keys-askbox]

Key raised his eyebrows in suspicion. "Dragon isn't on our side, though?"

"I think Lucy is pretty good at archery. She was offering lessons a bit ago."

[tahlullahs-askbox]

I. Have the feeling that Lucy would ask why I need to get better with a bow.

..Key, I.. need to tell you something.

Before you have another dumb death or something, deaths are permanent now. We.. Three lifes and then we're dead.

Permanently.

I..

We're on our second life, Key.

And I.. did a very, very stupid thing.

[keys-askbox]

"What..?" Key's face plummeted. "Surely not..." he murmured. He knew Lullah had an imagination sometimes, but this seemed too... real. "So- so the control room- everything..?"

"What did you do, Lullah?"

[keys-askbox]

I’m sorry I hurt you.

I’m not sorry I did it.

Apologies can't rid me of the scars of betrayal.

[keys-askbox]

It takes guts to do what you did. Proud of you for that. But at the end of the day, kid, you’ve gotta remember what you are.

Thanks, I guess. I'm just trying to support my family. Even if that means we're... not quite on the right side of history.

[keys-askbox]

Hey, so, uhh....

No. No hard feelings, right? About the war?

( @dragons-askblog )

you literally betrayed your family for our enemy you met like 2 weeks ago

[keys-askbox]

War

We've lost our supplies. We've lost one of our members, and not by death. Oh, if only it was death. Death is so much easier to grieve than betrayal. We thought we had one last hope, and we were hanging onto that thread until it dragged us through the dirt.

I'm afraid for what comes next, if there are more traitors in our ranks. I'm afraid for Lucy, and Lullah, and Toms. Voyd wants to use me against Lullah, and I'm not sure if Dragon is even on our side at this point.

Has L'Manburg really lost?

Lucy has officially (?) adopted me as her son (well, not officially, she actually forged Time’s signature), but L’Manburg is a free country! I hope it remains that way. The revolution is in two days, and I’m barely prepared. I’ve got 16 diamonds. I tried to find more today, but all I found was more iron. I guess it’s better than nothing, though.
