Hello

[Slides towards you, the Mayor and politely pushes a big gubby plushie in your arms. It's about your neck-to-toes large and its as soft and fluffy as it's heavy (measurably heavy).]

Byebye

[Walks away without waiting response]

[An▫️n]

Monty is reading through some reports when you walk into town hall holding a very large stuffed toy.

"Well, hello there young one!" He greets cheerfully, "That's quite a nice toy you've got there!" He chortles.

"Ah- You're giving this to me??" He says as you place it into his arms. It's so large it partially hangs off of the table... "My! What a cute plush rabbit!"

"Thank you, kiddo!" He says, before realizing you've already left. The... The gubby is blocking his view of the door... "This is quite splendid indeed!...ehh... where shall I put this in my home..?" He says the last part quietly, wondering to himself where this large bunny would fit.

[mayormonty]

youre so nice but i need to do this.

*PROJECTS PERIOD CRAMPS ONTO YOU AGGRESSIVELY*

dont ask how this works ok? ok bye

"Well I'll be! Howdy kiddo! I'm glad to see you today! How're you doin' chap?" Monty greets you affectionately, seeing as you've just entered town hall. "Quite a nice day t'day! I hope yer takin' advantage of the good weather!"

"Eh? Do ya need somethin', kiddo? Ya look like yer in pain..." He pauses, "...Need to do what?" "I've got pain killers if y- AAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH!!!!!"

"WOO BOY! That HURTS!" He manages to yell, all the while groaning and clutching his stomach, "W-well if it makes ya feel- ough- better-" He coughs out, "How- Wwwh-"

The sudden onslaught of cramps disappears once you slip out the door.

"My... how on earth..." He takes a long sip of water, catching his breath. "What..? These younguns sure are... interestin'..."

[[OOC:hiiii admin hope youre doing okay sending a ask to you bcs Brad finally stopped taking the worlds longest 'nap']

Monty is fresh out of a meeting when he receives a text message on his... admittedly ancient, cellphone. "Hm... I think my phone's a-ringing!" He says to himself, as he uses his free hand to reach for his phone. He reads the latest notification- 1 message from Bradley. "Ah! Bradley!" he seats himself slowly, "Kiddo... Has he gotten better?" He struggles to unlock his phone but manages. He successfully finds the text message. "Eh... Bradley's awake from his coma?! This is brilliant news!" He shouts to himself, "My, ever the well-mannered child! Even asking about little old me and Jimmy, even after he'd been so injured..?" Monty chuckles to himself, "Ol' Thayniel must be beside himself with pride!" He fumbles with the phone, trying to type a response. "Eh... How does this thing work?"

He (very slowly) types out a message: "Hello! I am gkad yuo are O.K.! I was very owried about you!"

Monty sends the text message. "Eh... I think I should call him instead... I don't quite have the hang of this." He shakes his head.

[bubonic-trauma]

Brad looked at the text; letting a small chuckle escape his lips but he rolled his eyes before pressing the call button if he could type surely they could speak even for a little bit.

He waited for the call to be picked up; at least he could converse with someone he knew from the past for now.

[mayormonty]

Monty picks up the phone after 2 rings.

"Bradley? Is this thing on? Hello? He holds his phone against his ear, speaking MUCH louder than he needs to. "Hello?"

[bubonic-trauma]

Brad flinched at the loudness; jeez the poor guys hearing must be getting less and less with each passing day.

Y34h y34h i h34r y4…

L0ud 45 41w4y5, i 533 50m3 7hin95 n3v3r ch4n93 uh…?

He let a sigh of relief escape his lips at least he hadn't had a vision of Monty or Jim meeting horrible fates...his dad though was another story.

I'm 914d y0u'r3 41ri9h7. I w45 701d i w45 41m057 c1053 70 5377in9 7h3 w0r1d r3c0rd f0r 7h3 10n9357 n4p, h4h4...

Yeah yeah I hear ya…

Loud as always, I see some things never change uh…?

I'm glad you're alright. I was told I was almost close to setting the world record for the longest nap, haha....

[mayormonty]

"Ah! Young Bradley! It is great to hear from you!" He says joyfully, "Ho ho! You were in a coma for quite the long while!" "Hrm... We were all worried about you, young one! I'm so glad you've woken up! How have you been doing? Are you recovering well?" You can almost feel his warm smile from the other end of the phone. Monty's words bring a sense of peace to you- a comfort long forgotten. His concern is genuine- He likely heard the woes of Brad's father himself. He seems to be as jovial as ever- but there's the unmistakeable lilt of worry in his tone.

[bubonic-trauma]

Y34h, i7'5 uh, nic3 70 h34r y0ur v0ic3 700…

Brad cleared his throat; he had no idea why Monty's voice made him want to cry, perhaps it was just relief of being able to see erm hear him again but his voice was wavering slightly now.

I'm d0in9 63773r; 411 7hin95 c0n5id3r3d.

S7i11 f331in9 3m07i0n411y 64d 4nd phy5ic411y w34k, 6u7 7h3 d0c70r5 ju57 54id i n33d 70 74k3 i7 345y…

Yeah, it's uh, nice to hear your voice too…

Th0u9h i 1ik31y d353rv3 i7 411 4f73r wh47 i did…

Brad lowered his voice; at the last part he hoped Monty's hearing wouldn't pick it up before he took a deep breath; mostly so he could steady his shaking voice.

S0rry, 7hi5 i5 0u7 0f 7h3 61u3, 6u7 h0w'5 7h3 kin9 0f B14ckr0ck h01din9 up?

Brad hoped Alsandar had escaped with him after all Blackrock and it's citizen's needed it's king.

I'm doing better; all things considered.

Still feeling emotionally bad and physically weak, but the doctors just said I need to take it easy…

Though I likely deserve it all after what I did…

Sorry, this is out of the blue, but how's the king of Blackrock holding up?

[mayormonty]

"Oho! Yes, yes- You've ought to take it easy now, laddie! Can't go bustin' open yer wounds or anything!" He says, "And... It's only natural you're exhausted, kiddo- What you went through was no normal injury..." He says, "You just woke up from a coma! Course you'll be feelin' strange!" He pauses when he's asked about the King of Blackrock- he himself isn't so sure. "Eh... Last I heard, Blackrock had fallen, but... To be completely honest I'm not too sure how the King is! I only hope he's alright..." He sighs, "But if the kingdom collapsin' says anythin', it's probably not so great fer him..."

hey guys mod here just a heads up i will be offline until i finish demo 4 so no answers till then! sorry guys </3 monty will be back soon

[mayormonty]

— The King himself was here in Roadtown! Two of his knights followed behind him as he stepped foot into the small town. His wings rustled slightly before flattening back out as he looked around. It's been quite a bit since the last time he's visited!

— @artic-king

[hehehe hi]

He arrives at Roadtown gate, at which he is swiftly allowed entry. The guards at the gate bow in the presence of the king. "Welcome back to Roadtown, Your Majesty!" They say in unison, opening the gate.

The town's mostly the same as before- only covered with feet of melting snow. The townsfolk are as lively as ever, undeterred from the chill surrounding them. Children skate in the shallow pond- though the ice is melting, slowly, as well. Large snowmen line the roads, evidently left by the children as well. People move about the little town, completing errands, doing work, shoveling snow- the likes. They occasionally stop to peer at the sight of Royalty- The king of Blackrock has not visited for a while, and they are eager to see what he might be up to. The town hall is not very far from here. Mayor Monty, however, may not be present today - Monty isn't usually in town hall on Thursdays. Perhaps he'll be found at home?

[artic-king]

— The King waved at the people greeting him, smiling a bit as well. Of course, now without the Icedagger, he's much more friendly! Well, he is back to how he was before that whole thing.

"Do you perhaps know where Mayor Monty is? I just would like to catch up with him, that is all."

— Elegant as ever, Boreas. He could've just called him 'Monty,' but he always uses his formality. That never changed in him at all!

[mayormonty]

"Mayor Monty is at home today, your Majesty! He's taking his day off." A young woman says chipperly, "His home is thataway!" She points towards a modest house in the clearing.

"Woah!! It's the king!" A few small children say, staring at the man in awe, "It's really him!!! So cool!!!"

Monty's home isn't too far- You can see smoke billowing out of the chimney- It seems they were correct!

[artic-king]

"Alright. Thank you for your kindness, young lady."

— He nodded and smiled at her, along with waving over to the small children before making his way to Monty's home. His two knights following right behind him.

— Once he was at the entrance of Monty's house, he knocked on the front door, now patiently waiting for the old mayor to answer.

[mayormonty]

"Wonder who's at the- Huh?" A young man opens the door, evidently shocked at your arrival. This seems to be Mayor Monty's adoptive son- Jim, the accountant. He immediately lowers into a bow, "Your Majesty! W-what brings you here?" He asks respectfully. He gets up. "Are you here to see the Mayor? He's right inside, in the study. It's a pleasure to have you here."

[artic-king]

"Yes, I'm just here to see the Mayor. It's been quite a bit since my last visit, and I'd like to catch up with him."

— He hadn't walked in just yet, of course waiting for Jim to offer him going inside. Even though he may be a King, he still respects everyone just the same.

"I do hope it's not too much of a bother, for you and him. I do hope you've been faring well yourself."

— Of course, he heard about what happened to Jim, being trapped under those rocks right outside his Kingdom. If he wasn't under the influence of the Icedagger then, he would've sent his knights to help.

[mayormonty]

"Oh! Not at all, come on in." Jim steps aside, "The Mayor will be glad to see you- he's been worried about your well-being ever since the, er, incident. Would you like some tea, your Highness?" He asks.

"I'll go and let him know you've come, first. Please make yourselves comfortable." He nods towards the king, and to the knights as well. He lets you all step inside before he shuts the door, and dismisses himself to go tell the Mayor. Monty's house is warm and quite cozy, furnished tastefully yet modestly. The exact kind of home you'd imagine the Mayor to live in. The entryway leads to a hallway and a set of wooden stairs. On either side, there are two doorways. One that leads to a modest living area, and one that leads to the kitchen. Jim had pointed you towards the living room, to wait for the Mayor to come outside. He told you all to make yourselves comfortable, and that it would not be too long of a wait.

[artic-king]

"Some tea would be lovely. Thank you, Jim."

— He walked towards the living room, taking a seat as he awaited for Monty. His knights, however, opted to stand beside him, which he didn't exactly mind.

[mayormonty]

It was not long before Monty's voice, strong as ever, could be heard around the corner. "Weell, hello there, Your Majesty! Quite a nice day t'day!" He says cheerfully, walking into the living room with the help of his cane. "Fancy seeing you here!" He chortles, "How have you been, Boreas? It's been quite some time, yes indeed..."

He seats himself in the armchair facing the king, smiling at the monarch with a twinkle in his eye. "Oh, and my apologies for takin' so darn long! You know how it is... these bones ain't cooperatin' with my mind no more!" He guffaws, "Eh... how's the kingdom? Seems like y'all have been per-itty cool lately!" He jokes.

[artic-king]

"It's quite alright, Monty. You have nothing you need to apologize for to me."

— The King smiled at the elder mayor. It's small but definitely there.

"I've been quite alright myself, and I can say the same with Blackrock as well. My knights have been working on removing the ice from inside the castle. It's quite a bit of work, yet they're making good progress."

"I hope you've been just as well yourself, Monty."

[mayormonty]

Monty lets out a heart guffaw, "Well, that's splendid! I'm glad t'hear you've been doing well! Hmm... That ice must be a hassle indeed!" He strokes his beard, "Yes, yes... Hopefully that won't take too long!" "I've been doing pretty good myself! Been gettin' quite busy lately, though... There's much more work to do this time of year, yessiree..." He sighs, "I'd say I'm used to the workload but I am gettin' pretty close t'retiring, I'd reckon..." "And, eh... I did hear somethin' from ol' Thayniel though! Hrm... I'm happy for y'all!" Monty grins, "I figured somethin' was goin' on when I'd seen Thayniel pop by Roadtown tellin' me he was visitin' the king!" He chuckles.

[mayormonty]

— The King himself was here in Roadtown! Two of his knights followed behind him as he stepped foot into the small town. His wings rustled slightly before flattening back out as he looked around. It's been quite a bit since the last time he's visited!

— Elegant as ever, Boreas. He could've just called him 'Monty,' but he always uses his formality. That never changed in him at all!

[mayormonty]

"Mayor Monty is at home today, your Majesty! He's taking his day off." A young woman says chipperly, "His home is thataway!" She points towards a modest house in the clearing.

"Woah!! It's the king!" A few small children say, staring at the man in awe, "It's really him!!! So cool!!!"

Monty's home isn't too far- You can see smoke billowing out of the chimney- It seems they were correct!

[artic-king]

"Alright. Thank you for your kindness, young lady."

— He nodded and smiled at her, along with waving over to the small children before making his way to Monty's home. His two knights following right behind him.

— Once he was at the entrance of Monty's house, he knocked on the front door, now patiently waiting for the old mayor to answer.

[mayormonty]

"Wonder who's at the- Huh?" A young man opens the door, evidently shocked at your arrival. This seems to be Mayor Monty's adoptive son- Jim, the accountant. He immediately lowers into a bow, "Your Majesty! W-what brings you here?" He asks respectfully. He gets up. "Are you here to see the Mayor? He's right inside, in the study. It's a pleasure to have you here."

Monty is fresh out of a meeting when he receives a text message on his... admittedly ancient, cellphone. "Hm... I think my phone's a-ringing!" He says to himself, as he uses his free hand to reach for his phone. He reads the latest notification- 1 message from Bradley. "Ah! Bradley!" he seats himself slowly, "Kiddo... Has he gotten better?" He struggles to unlock his phone but manages. He successfully finds the text message. "Eh... Bradley's awake from his coma?! This is brilliant news!" He shouts to himself, "My, ever the well-mannered child! Even asking about little old me and Jimmy, even after he'd been so injured..?" Monty chuckles to himself, "Ol' Thayniel must be beside himself with pride!" He fumbles with the phone, trying to type a response. "Eh... How does this thing work?"

He (very slowly) types out a message: "Hello! I am gkad yuo are O.K.! I was very owried about you!"

Monty sends the text message. "Eh... I think I should call him instead... I don't quite have the hang of this." He shakes his head.

[bubonic-trauma]

Brad looked at the text; letting a small chuckle escape his lips but he rolled his eyes before pressing the call button if he could type surely they could speak even for a little bit.

He waited for the call to be picked up; at least he could converse with someone he knew from the past for now.

[mayormonty]

Monty picks up the phone after 2 rings.

"Bradley? Is this thing on? Hello? He holds his phone against his ear, speaking MUCH louder than he needs to. "Hello?"

— The King himself was here in Roadtown! Two of his knights followed behind him as he stepped foot into the small town. His wings rustled slightly before flattening back out as he looked around. It's been quite a bit since the last time he's visited!

— @artic-king

[hehehe hi]

He arrives at Roadtown gate, at which he is swiftly allowed entry. The guards at the gate bow in the presence of the king. "Welcome back to Roadtown, Your Majesty!" They say in unison, opening the gate.

The town's mostly the same as before- only covered with feet of melting snow. The townsfolk are as lively as ever, undeterred from the chill surrounding them. Children skate in the shallow pond- though the ice is melting, slowly, as well. Large snowmen line the roads, evidently left by the children as well. People move about the little town, completing errands, doing work, shoveling snow- the likes. They occasionally stop to peer at the sight of Royalty- The king of Blackrock has not visited for a while, and they are eager to see what he might be up to. The town hall is not very far from here. Mayor Monty, however, may not be present today - Monty isn't usually in town hall on Thursdays. Perhaps he'll be found at home?

OI MATE. I'm KNACKERED with this dang question bouncin' all ova the place in my head, ight? How'd you meet even Jim anyway? What... like... did he bloody... BLOODY... give you free money.. or some rubbish... yeah?--did the lad 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 British noises /silly

Okay on a serious note how did you meet Jim... I know he isn't actuallllyyy your kiddo, so how'd you meet him

(Btw admin I love this blog YOURE DOING GOD'S WORK I LOVE MONTY!!!!!!!! He's so unnoticed </3)

-British...? anon??? 🇬🇧

Monty guffaws, "My! Quite the accent you've got there, lad!" he grins.

"You want to know how I met little Jimothy?"

His grin turns into a soft smile at the mention of his son. "Ah... Well, it was quite a while ago, yessiree!" "Well, if this old bag of bones can remember correctly, it was probably 1988 when I'd found Jim..." He says fondly, "He must've been 3 at the time... Poor little feller had just lost his mom and pop to a car accident." He sighs, "Y'see, they were headin' home after watchin' a movie when it happened. Jim was at home with a babysitter... Poor kiddo was left without a family, an' without a home or any relatives to take care of him anymore, he got sent to an orphanage."

"I'd lost Kamilla bout 4 years prior, and we'd always wanted children. I firmly believe it was her spirit that drew me there because I don't know if I would've gone into the orphanage otherwise- I was a single man, with many responsibilities as mayor, and didn't think I was up t'bein a father all on my own." "Yet I still walked right in! An' the clerk sure was surprised to see Mayor Monty strut in, I'll tell ya that!" He guffawed, "But I went right in 'nd asked if I could get registered for adoption or foster care. After doin' a lot of paperwork, havin' my home get studied... I was approved!" "I remember feelin' somethin' tug at my heart when I got the letter back tellin' me I was approved... Was like an unfinished dream of mine was comin' into realization."

He wipes at his eyes a little bit, "And they'd said they'd found a little boy who was a good fit. An' you can guess who it was. My Jim."

"I was initially his foster parent, but I'd only come to realize after, that I couldn't imagine sayin' goodbye to him. Down the line, I officially adopted him- But that didn't happen for a good while. It was a long an' tedious process, but one that was well worth the while." "Jim was initially real shy of me, an' he was a little afraid of me too- But that's all to be expected. He'd lost his family and was too young to understand why mom and dad weren't comin' back... I tried my best to fill that gap for him, though."

"He-" Monty sniffles a little bit, "'Scuse me, youngun'... I get a little emotional... He'd called me dad for the first time when he was about 7 'nd when I tell you I'd cried..."

"I firmly believe Jim'd changed my life. I'd been grieving over Kamilla heavily, and havin' a kid to look after had given me a new purpose, alongside with me bein' mayor of Roadtown. Comin' home to my son every day, bein' able to hear how his day went at school... Being there for somebody again, was all this old heart needed to start healin'. And for that, I am so grateful."

"An' the fact that I could've filled in what was missin' for him... Be his dad..." Monty sniffles again, "Aye... the fact that I mean to him as much as he means to me... He really was my miracle child. And he's still workin' miracles every day, lookin' after me... taking care of Roadtown alongside me... My son will be a great Mayor someday." He wipes his eyes one last time, removing his glasses. He smiles at you, "Well, that's how I met Jimmy... I wouldn't trade him for the world. I hope that answers yer question, sport! Sorry if I went a little off the rails there... I tend to ramble."

He laughs, "'S hard not to when ya care about somebody so much! Aye... I am so proud of how far my son has come, from the skittish little boy he was... Gettin' to watch him grow up was the highlight of my life. Thankye kindly for the question, chap! It's nice to walk down memory road, sometimes... An if ya ask me, I'd say he's every bit my son, just without the blood- but when you've looked after someone for so long, does that really matter?"

Monty guffaws, "But I'm sure yer tired of hearin' this old man ramble- I'll let ya go. Would ya like a sweet?" He offers you a jar of candies on his desk.

"You have a good one now! And I like your accent!" He chuckles as he waves you off.

How's Jim?

Monty is reading through a contract when he gets a message in his inbox. He pauses. "Ah! Another ask!" A smile spreads across his gentle, aged face, as he stops to check whatever the ask may be. "Eh... Wheresit... Aha! Letsee here..." He mutters to himself, "Hows... Jim? Oho!" "Jim's doin' quite well! He's been extra busy lately with tax returns, but he's been as fine as a fiddle! He got back to work a few months ago, after he was all healed up from bein' left out in the snow so long..." Monty's face droops a bit, as Jim's incident is evidently a sensitive topic. "Well, it's a good thing Jimmy boy is still young an' spry... He bounced back quite quickly! Though... it fills me with regret, as a father... that I couldn't do anything to save him.. Ah... My old bones don't work quite well anymore, and Jim was surveyin' the mountains to try to help out best he could... Aye, if I weren't so old..." he shakes his head grimly, "Maybe Jim wouldn't have had to get trapped... Poor boy was on the edge of... I dare not say." He clears his throat. "But, ahem... I'm quite happy t'see him home safe... If not thanks to [USERNAME], I don't quite know what would've happened..." He sighs, "But he's been doin' quite good, yessiree! Thank ya for the concern, kiddo! I'll tell Jim y'were lookin' out for him, lad!"
