Assassin Lavi: Care for a dance?
Princess Zuki ,,,looks back at kanda for approval---

Princess Zuki whispers to lavi
Princess Zuki: u-um, w-will that man be alright..?

Conman Nea: A little dust never killed anyone.

Conman Nea returns to the snack bar
Assassin Deak o W
Assassin Deak hISSES AND LOOKS AT LAVI
Queen Alma i think you're more entertained by snacks, sir
Assassin Deak: what was that for?!
Conman Nea i mean theyre alright
Princess Zuki looks back at mr snack bar. we never finished talking :^(
Assassin Lavi: ...I saw that
Assassin Lavi: "Don't mess this up Lavi". Seriously?
Assassin Deak: ...it would've been fine.
Conman Nea ur welcome to come back over here
Princess Zuki stands up n goes back over there
Princess Zuki we can be loners i guess
Assassin Bookman just shakes his head and storms off
Assassin Bookman: i have better things to do besides babysit.
Assassin Bookman: behave yourselves.
Conman Nea looks down at the runt
Conman Nea: Sorry for my poor manners earlier, my lady.
Princess Zuki waves sheepishly,,,
Princess Zuki: i-it's fine. a-are you okay? you fell earlier...
Conman Nea snorts a little
Assassin Lavi I'm not the one who almost launched out a window being chased by some royal's lapdog
Assassin Deak: ...i didn't expect anyone to notice.
Assassin Deak sHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH, LAVI
Conman Nea: Oh, I'll be fine. He was quite the klutz, though, wasn't he?
Assassin Deak I'LL THROW YOU OFF THIS BALCONY
Conman Nea: What a shame, too, he seemed... Nice.
Assassin Lavi b/c that's so inconspicuous
Conman Nea huffs and puts on a smile
Princess Zuki: i-i danced with someone nice, too..! h-he taught me some things. dance things.
Conman Nea: But I won't bore you with that sort of thing
Conman Nea: Oh?
Princess Zuki ....is mentally slapping herseLF
Princess Zuki: i-it wouldn't bore me! promise.
Conman Nea: ...
Conman Nea glances around
Conman Nea slowly hands Zuki his barely touched glass of wine
Princess Zuki ,,,takes it..???
Conman Nea: Here, you seem like you need something for your nerves.
Princess Zuki ...sets it down..??
Princess Zuki: that's... i-i cannot drink. sorry.
Assassin Deak grabs lavi and just. pulls him off
Assassin Deak: we need to avoid that guy.
Messenger Cecil joined the chat
Assassin Deak: he was nothing but trouble.
Assassin Lavi oh u think?
Conman Nea: It's not like anyone would know-- This is an anonymous party, after all
Assassin Deak: ...everyone here... nothing but trouble.
Queen Alma im offended by that
Queen Alma calling me trouble at my party
Princess Zuki looks back at kanda and theN back to nea
Princess Zuki whispers
Princess Zuki: m-my... guard... is right there.
Assassin Deak: ...are you hurt?
Assassin Deak: he didn't hurt you, did he?
Conman Nea o h
Conman Nea retracts the glass
Conman Nea: Perhaps not, then
Assassin Lavi: ...no
Assassin Lavi: why would he?
Messenger Cecil okay uh he's probably , over at the food table
Princess Zuki giGGLES SOFTLY
Assassin Deak: ...you can't trust anyone here. especially not him.
Assassin Deak snickers softly
Conman Nea downs it himself cause. goddamn. that couldve got him in Trouble
Assassin Deak: i have a few souvenirs, though.
Princess Zuki watches n blinks. wow
Conman Nea: Really, though, you shouldn't be so nervous. It's just a party.
Assassin Lavi: Takes one to know one?
Assassin Lavi: Anyway, hope y'got some good ones~
Queen Alma the food table is always the most awkward spot at the party
Queen Alma i swear
Conman Nea save us, queenie
Princess Zuki: i-i've never attended one of these before...
Queen Alma and how would you like me to do that
Princess Zuki: regular parties, sure, but... never one of these.

Messenger Cecil is hungry and this is free food and a man's gotta do what he gotta do
Messenger Cecil h o w
Conman Nea i dont kn ow
Conman Nea: Think of it as a regular party
Conman Nea: It's not much different
Queen Alma just with people of higher status
Messenger Cecil I probably dont know shes here yet and when I figure out I sm gonna be avoiding the hec k out of her in fear of being recognized
Messenger Cecil wAit we hAVE MASKS
Princess Zuki: well... there are a few differences, but...
Messenger Cecil well still qkdhsg
Assassin Lavi hums and glances off towards the queen
Messenger Cecil is Snacking
Princess Zuki: y-you're right. i shouldn't be nervous.
Assassin Lavi: Get cold feet b'fore you got that far?
Assassin Lavi Ye he saw you go the other way earlier Deak
Conman Nea: Exactly
Conman Nea: Besides, you've got a mask
Conman Nea: if anything goes poorly, nobody will know it was you
Assassin Deak ,,,
Assassin Deak si g h s
Princess Zuki: ....well, you knew i was royalty.
Assassin Deak: ...maybe i did.
Assassin Deak: maybe i didn't.
Conman Nea: Most people here are
Assassin Lavi snickers and pats the top of his head
Queen Alma you were so confident fourth wall
Queen Alma : (
Messenger Cecil wait who is talking to who now
Princess Zuki: not everyone.
Messenger Cecil i'm so confs u e d
Princess Zuki: i could've easily been a commoner.
Assassin Lavi: ...both of you're more useful without one throwing the other in jail anyway
Conman Nea: I guess I just made a lucky guess
Princess Zuki: ...you said guess twice.
Princess Zuki she's cracking up dont mind her
Assassin Bookman i'm watching
Messenger Cecil o u guys r also here
Messenger Cecil awkward
Assassin Bookman always watching
Assassin Lavi wow don't be creepy Panda
Conman Nea: You know what I meant

Messenger Cecil realizes shes waving at him

Messenger Cecil ,,, waves back
Assassin Deak ,,i kinda wanna go mess with him again
Assassin Deak hands lavi his mask back
Assassin Deak gives him a warm smile
Assassin Deak: how about you go talk to the queen and i find that man again?
Assassin Lavi: ...y'never learn do ya
Assassin Lavi he's laughing tho
Assassin Lavi ye he can do that
Assassin Deak: i'm curious now.
Conman Nea looks at who zuki's wavin too
Princess Zuki scratches the back of her neck and looks down
Assassin Lavi time to serenade the big one
Assassin Deak ruffles lavi's hair a few times before walking off, chuckling
Conman Nea looks him up and down
Messenger Cecil awkward,,
Conman Nea a solid 8 but you dont look like youre worth much
Princess Zuki but he doesn't look 8 years old
Assassin Deak pretty much skips back to nea
Assassin Deak tap tap on the shoulder
Messenger Cecil im flatter
Messenger Cecil but ha if only you knew
Conman Nea blinks and turns back to deak
Conman Nea raises a brow
Assassin Lavi off to make friendly with the queen I guess
Conman Nea: Miss me already?
Assassin Deak: i'd like to thank you for the dance!~
Assassin Deak quick kiss on the cheek
Conman Nea oh. hello there.
Princess Zuki blinks at deak
Messenger Cecil is lowkey watching them
Princess Zuki how can ppl socialize so eaSILY
Conman Nea: You're quite welcome
Assassin Deak looks at cecil
Knight Kanda because theyre older and its faked most of the time
Conman Nea: It's not often someone can keep up with me on the dancefloor.
Princess Zuki mr kanda can u teach me how to talk to people
Queen Alma whats happening
Assassin Deak looks back to nea
Assassin Deak: years of practice.
Assassin Lavi sauntering over to the queen with his hands behind his back casually
Assassin Deak: dancing is an area of expertise for me.
Knight Kanda princess, i literally do not talk to anyone unless im bossing them around, attempting to murder them, reading their death messages before theyre murdered, threatening them or doing things of the sort
Knight Kanda i doubt it is a good idea
Conman Nea no kanda thats a GREAT idea
Princess Zuki ,,,,does that mean ur going to kill me
Conman Nea: I can tell.
Conman Nea: It was... refreshing to be a part of.
Assassin Deak: i'm quite glad~
Assassin Lavi little respectful head dip at the queen
Assassin Lavi: Enjoying the evening, Your Highness?
Princess Zuki heard queen and she immediately wants to dip
Princess Zuki just. stands by cecil
Conman Nea glances around at the people at the food table.
Princess Zuki looks up at him n waves agaiN
Conman Nea this is. awkwardly quiet. how yall
Messenger Cecil aa
Messenger Cecil waves back
Conman Nea well at least shes makin friends
Assassin Deak goes to get another glass of wine
Assassin Deak b y e
Messenger Cecil would it be ok if I could already tell ur a royalty
Messenger Cecil bc u wear fancy clothes
Conman Nea okay rude
Conman Nea bye bitch
Conman Nea goes back to tending to these cocktail weenies
Assassin Deak i could pour it on your head when i get back
Assassin Deak then i really would be a bitch : >
Conman Nea or you could not
Conman Nea but what you COULD do is bring me a glass like a good bitch
Assassin Deak get ur own wine
Princess Zuki is disappointed but its ok
Conman Nea youre so mean to me
Conman Nea i danced with you and called you pretty
Messenger Cecil: Hello, your Majesty...
Conman Nea and this is what i get
Queen Alma looks over and smiles politely
Assassin Deak i'm mean to everyone
Queen Alma: Certainly. However, it's more important that my guests enjoy than myself. Has your time been well?
Assassin Deak: ;; i 'm gonna have to lay down for a lil bit bc m head is swimming
Messenger Cecil aA
Messenger Cecil err
Messenger Cecil: Um, m-my apologies, ma'am. It is the clothes that gave it away...
Messenger Cecil: These are expensive fabrics...
Princess Zuki sighs again
Princess Zuki: i suppose so, but still...
Assassin Lavi: Indeed, my time has been very enjoyable, Your Highness. But should the host not enjoy herself as well? I'm sure I am not the only one who feels as such~
Assassin Lavi just going to throw in a cute little head quirk for good measure
Messenger Cecil looks down understandingly
Messenger Cecil: Is this.. Is this your first ball?
Conman Nea how many glasses of wine can i get before this guy cuts me off
Conman Nea nea yes
Conman Nea i dont even belong here im jsut here to keep the good times rolliN
Assassin Lavi go for it nea
Princess Zuki: um... my first ball of this sort.
Messenger Cecil ne a p ls
Princess Zuki: i don't tend to leave the castle often, i-if at all.
Conman Nea the bartender is my new best friend
Queen Alma: Nothing makes me more happy than seeing others enjoying their time. That's the point of a party, after all.
Messenger Cecil: Ah, I see... Well, are you enjoying yourself...?
Queen Alma like a dog, right
Queen Alma how a dog tilts its head when its confused
Princess Zuki: um... i-in a sense..?
Assassin Lavi more or less ye
Messenger Cecil s a v a g e
Princess Zuki: it's... different.
Assassin Lavi chuckles a little bit
Messenger Cecil looks at her questioningly
Messenger Cecil: How so?
Assassin Lavi: To each their own means of enjoyment.
Assassin Lavi: Has there been a favorite part of this party for you so far?
Assassin Lavi just gonna casually lean on a wall and chill here for a bit
Princess Zuki: i've mostly been by here the whole time. a-although, earlier, a very nice man taught me some dance moves...! that's about it, though.
Conman Nea time to be obnoxious
Conman Nea and sit on the edge of the food table
Princess Zuki ....stares at nea
Queen Alma thoughtful humming
Assassin Lavi get your ass off the table don't be r00d
Messenger Cecil: W-Well, would you like to go for a walk, then?
Messenger Cecil also looks up at nea
Messenger Cecil blinks
Queen Alma what are you doing on the table
Queen Alma why
Conman Nea my feet are tired
Queen Alma there are c h a i r s
Messenger Cecil: Um, i-is everything okay...?
Conman Nea i like to feel tall
Conman Nea glances around
Assassin Lavi sorry to break it to u but
Assassin Lavi ur never gonna match us trees
Queen Alma: Perhaps the assortment of character that has walked through the door? It is interesting to see the various types of people.
Conman Nea he's confused
Conman Nea shut up giant
Queen Alma yeah the trees win no offense
Messenger Cecil aw
Messenger Cecil furrows his brows in confusion
Assassin Lavi: Indeed. And the masks just make them all the more colorful characters, do they not?
Assassin Lavi this is how u bond right
Messenger Cecil: Um, what are you doing on top of that table, i-if I may ask?
Messenger Cecil: A table is hardly a place to sit...
Conman Nea: My feet are tired and I like being close to the food.
Messenger Cecil ,,,
Messenger Cecil glances around
Conman Nea: Unless you'd like to grab a chair for me?
Queen Alma: Absolutely. Surely there's something about the... secrecy. No one would ever know who someone truly is here, not entirely. Perhaps a guess or two, and maybe a correct guess, but never fully.
Conman Nea swings his legs
Messenger Cecil uh not really but
Queen Alma: Like hiding behind shadowy curtains, perhaps?
Messenger Cecil: Um, s-sure...
Conman Nea smiles
Conman Nea: You have my thanks.
Messenger Cecil glances at zuki and then , goes to get a chair
Assassin Lavi: Good reason not to hang curtains
Messenger Cecil I cant believ this
Assassin Lavi chuckles a little
Messenger Cecil dips his head back at nea
Conman Nea this is fuck in ggreat
Conman Nea what else can i get this guy to do
Messenger Cecil fetches a chair and carries it back
Messenger Cecil :I
Messenger Cecil don't use m e
Messenger Cecil: Here you go, good sir
Conman Nea hops down and takes a seat once he's got a chair. push me in, cecil.
Conman Nea: Why thank you
Messenger Cecil ,,, are u fr real
Messenger Cecil , push es the chair in
Conman Nea looks so damn pleased with himself
Princess Zuki is still staring tbh
Conman Nea snaps suddenly
Conman Nea: oh, drat, I forgot.
Conman Nea looks at cecil with a small frown
Conman Nea: I meant to grab another glass of wine before I settled down.
Conman Nea: I don't suppose you'd be so kind...?
Queen Alma: That and with the drunkards they'd tear them down on accident.
Assassin Lavi now he's really laughing
Queen Alma looks at lavi, curiously tilting her head
Queen Alma: Pardon me for the odd question, but there were two of you, correct?
Messenger Cecil: Err, perhaps one of the servants can be of more help to you...
Assassin Lavi: Mayhaps less "on accident" so much as--
Assassin Lavi hmm so she saw them did she
Messenger Cecil glances back at zuki
Messenger Cecil he lp
Conman Nea blinks at him
Conman Nea eyes widen
Princess Zuki narrows her eyes at nea
Assassin Lavi: I did come with like company, yes.
Conman Nea raises a hand to his mouth
Conman Nea: Oh my.
Conman Nea: I thought...
Conman Nea: Nevermind.
Conman Nea: My apologies.
Princess Zuki glances at cecil n then baCK AT NEA
Messenger Cecil: W-What..?
Princess Zuki whAT ARE U DOING, COMMONER
Conman Nea adjusts his collar softly
Conman Nea: I thought you were the help.
Assassin Lavi he sighs and shakes his head a little bit
Conman Nea: My sincere apologies.
Princess Zuki: i believe that role goes to you, sir.
Messenger Cecil sucks in a sharp breath
Assassin Lavi: Must bring along family to these sorts of things, you know? Else you'll never hear the end of it.
Conman Nea blinks at zuki
Conman Nea: I beg your pardon?
Princess Zuki: i do not need a face to spy the difference between a commoner and a royal.
Princess Zuki: your actions say all.
Princess Zuki sips apple juice
Messenger Cecil can I leave now........
Assassin Lavi aHAHAHAHAAA BYE NEA
Queen Alma: I wouldn't know, I have no siblings. However, he'd be your brother then? Surely an event is more enjoyable with family, assuming you get along.
Conman Nea: That's a hefty accusation.
Assassin Lavi getting called out by a teenage shut-in
Conman Nea: And after I was so kind to you, who thought you'd insult me like that.
Queen Alma: hefty hefty hefty ]
Princess Zuki: tell me, where do you hail from?
Messenger Cecil looks between them
Messenger Cecil internally hhhhs
Assassin Lavi: It can and can't be.
Assassin Lavi smiles wryly
Conman Nea: A small continent to the east. I hold land there. I'll admit, I may not be the highest of ranks, but an Earl is still leagues above commoner.
Conman Nea lying out his ass
Princess Zuki: does this continent have a name?
Conman Nea: || shit i need a name
Conman Nea: || something that'd Actually Exist
Messenger Cecil: ( koongdom
Princess Zuki: { KOONGDOM
Queen Alma: yes koongdom ]
Conman Nea: || i hate you
Princess Zuki: { K O O N G D O M
Messenger Cecil: ( ama z ing
Conman Nea bitch you cannot look at me and tell me you know every earl personally from there
Princess Zuki is slowly cracking up honESTLY
Princess Zuki KOONGDOM
Conman Nea itS A PLACE
Conman Nea how much wine have i had
Princess Zuki AS IS TIDDYOPOLIS
Queen Alma probably a lot
Princess Zuki okay she's setting down her apple juice to cover her mouTH AND LAUGH\
Conman Nea flags down a servant for More Wine
Messenger Cecil one glass too many
Messenger Cecil wah
Messenger Cecil manages to remain more composed
Conman Nea: Anyways.
Conman Nea: As I've said.
Conman Nea: I apologize for the mixup.
Princess Zuki coUGHS AND CALMS DOWN FU CK THAT WAS FUNN Y
Assassin Lavi: I do not dislike him to any capacity, but siblings can do things which are... tiresome, sometimes.
Princess Zuki: y-you... you are no royal, my dear.
Assassin Lavi: But family is family.
Princess Zuki: you put me in mind of another royal, but no.
Princess Zuki cough cough cross cough cough
Conman Nea glances at zuki
Conman Nea: You've no way of confirming that
Queen Alma: Surely. Something cannot only singularly be one thing, and surely not something as changing as a human. It is good to keep family closest to you.
Messenger Cecil: Ma'am, I worry this man may have had a little more to drink than is good for him. Perhaps we should leave...
Princess Zuki takes off her mask OOOOO RULE BREAKER
Queen Alma: Have you had a drink, Sir...
Queen Alma looks thoughtfully at him
Princess Zuki: allow me to introduce myself.
Queen Alma: I don't believe I caught your name?
Conman Nea oh shit
Conman Nea whos this bitch again
Princess Zuki: i am princess zuki, de facto ruler of cicia.
Messenger Cecil welP
Messenger Cecil starts back
Messenger Cecil I have to go right now immediately
Conman Nea ohh
Conman Nea that's who she is
Conman Nea: I wouldn't have thought you'd leave your castle with the state your kingdom's in.
Assassin Lavi: I have had a few drinks already, all of excellent taste. My compliments to whoever chooses your wines. And it seems I am popularly "Red" tonight, or so goes the theme with others here tonight who find need of a name.
Princess Zuki slowly puts her mask back on
Messenger Cecil oOOOOOOo
Messenger Cecil daMN NEA SAVAGE
Princess Zuki: my advisors did their jobs and told me to attend.
Princess Zuki: i did not want to, but they convinced me to.
Messenger Cecil slinks,, away,,,,
Princess Zuki sips apple juice some more tbh
Princess Zuki: tell me, would you say the same to queen alma?
Princess Zuki: i can smell her from a mile away.
Princess Zuki BOOM ROASTED
Conman Nea: Of course not
Messenger Cecil is going to leave
Princess Zuki: and why is that?
Queen Alma: Surely you'd divulge more than an alias?
Queen Alma wtf is ur real name tho im curious :(
Messenger Cecil accidentally finds himself leaving out of the back door instead of the front door
Assassin Lavi chuckles a bit
Messenger Cecil henlo garden
Conman Nea: I'd have no reason to insult her management-- Her kingdom isn't in shambles.
Assassin Lavi: You're the first who's insisted on it.
Assassin Lavi hums
Princess Zuki: her kingdom is an untrustworthy cult, prepared for war at the drop of a hat.
Queen Alma im gonNA FIGHT
Queen Alma IN TWO SECON ds
Queen Alma wait
Queen Alma that just proved the poin t
Conman Nea: They're loyal to their queen and willing to defend her at all costs.
Conman Nea: I envy what she's accomplished here.
Princess Zuki: tell me, sir.
Queen Alma if i werent a single ruler id offer u the throne
Princess Zuki: where do you truly hail from?
Princess Zuki: if it were cicia, you would have killed me by now.
Conman Nea: It's not Cicia, nor this one. Really, my origins are of no interest to you.
Princess Zuki: oh, but they are.
Princess Zuki: just how your true identity is as well.
Conman Nea: I'm just a simple Earl who came to enjoy tonight's festivities
Princess Zuki: but yet here you are, conversing with the princess of a falling kingdom.
Conman Nea: by pure chance
Princess Zuki: have you nothing better to do than to waste your time with meaningless banter?
Conman Nea: banter is the point of these gatherings
Queen Alma: How odd. I would have assumed more would wish to know your identity.
Conman Nea: I'm a friendly man
Conman Nea: I like making friends.
Princess Zuki siPS APPLE JUICE
Princess Zuki: yet here you are, making an enemy.
Conman Nea: I would never have known your origins had you not revealed it to me.
Conman Nea raises his hands
Conman Nea: I still mean you no ill will, Princess.
Princess Zuki: i do not appreciate liars, mr.
Princess Zuki: i did what i believed had to have been done.
Assassin Lavi: Very well. My name is Astor, son of Aestor, Duke of Limlan. Not much of a title considering how far removed from major routes Limlan is, but to some of lower nobility, far removed is preferable. Less political pleasing to do, more getting things practical done. But it helps to see how the higher nobility handle things as well in places more populated such as this.
Assassin Lavi totally lying out his ass lmao
Princess Zuki just kinda. bends down so she's eye to eye with him
Conman Nea stares back
Conman Nea he's not cracking
Princess Zuki: a true noble wouldn't be sitting around the food table.
Conman Nea: I told you, I'm not quite a member of 'higher society'
Conman Nea: Just a simple Earl.
Conman Nea: Here to enjoy the luxuries of the Queen
Princess Zuki takes his mask off---
Conman Nea holds it down
Conman Nea fuck you
Conman Nea my mask
Princess Zuki >:U
Princess Zuki would rip it off if she were stronk
Princess Zuki ....reaches up to ruffle his hair?? idk why??? and then she just. walks out

Conman Nea that was weird
Princess Zuki cecil where are u i wanna conversation
Conman Nea snorts lightly and goes back to his wine
Messenger Cecil I am in garden
Princess Zuki henlo cecil i am coming to see u
Queen Alma: Limlan, hmm? It must truly be far removed, I have never heard of it. I am sure it is a lovely place, surely, if it brings from it your presence. Perhaps with time I will visit. Until then, I hope you enjoy your stay at Aeyusea while it lasts.
Queen Alma nea stop drinking
Conman Nea scans the crowd
Conman Nea who can i bug now
Conman Nea who will give me that sweet sweet attention
Messenger Cecil is pacing up and down the garden
Princess Zuki cleARS HER THROAT
Princess Zuki: are... you okay?
Conman Nea who can i easily manipulate
Messenger Cecil starts
Messenger Cecil looks back
Messenger Cecil: Y-Yes of course! W-Why wouldn't I be?
Messenger Cecil nervous chuckle
Assassin Lavi: I would be happy to give you the grand tour, though I think you will find Limlan is composed mostly of open countryside. It may be a good change of pace from your usual scenery however.
Princess Zuki: ...you seem nervous. are you sure?
Princess Zuki sets her apple juice down somewhere idk
Messenger Cecil: Y-Yes, I-- I am certain, ma'am
Messenger Cecil: Please don't worry
Messenger Cecil 4th wall sweats
Conman Nea squints a little
Princess Zuki: ...i'm... very sorry for what happened in there.

Princess Zuki: ...i'll... be back inside, then.

Conman Nea: How rude.
Messenger Cecil zuki did u leave yet,,,
Messenger Cecil adgjjd
Messenger Cecil dragS hands down face and starts pacing again
Queen Alma laughs quietly
Queen Alma: It's quite alright. Certainly he had to meet up with that brother of his, perhaps? Regardless, it isn't as if I have no company if you're here, right?

Conman Nea: Though I should apologize-- Your wine is a tad stronger than I expected. I may be a little sloshed.
Conman Nea: Nevertheless, it's an honor to meet you.
Queen Alma so ur drunk is what ur saying
Princess Zuki is just kinda. staring off. the nea thing put her in a bad mood dhfjghg
Queen Alma: I— how much did you drink...? Ah, well, if the wine was to your liking then all is well. No harm will come to you here, worry not.

Conman Nea: Just... Just a few glasses.
Conman Nea chuckles
Princess Zuki nods and just. forces a smile

Assassin Deak inches,, closer,, to,, kanda
Conman Nea: I'm glad to hear it, though. Things aren't as stable and safe in some of the other kingdoms these days.
Knight Kanda: If you insist, Princess. You can tell me if something is the matter, though, no matter what it may be.
Knight Kanda i f uckking see you
Knight Kanda im gonna pretend i dont though

Assassin Deak let me have fun
Assassin Deak you tolD ME TO HAVE FUN
Assassin Deak tO RELAX
Queen Alma: Truly. It is a sad occurrence, and the royalty of certain Kingdoms are... perhaps unfit to take care of the people. I hope it is not the same from where you come from, Sir, that would truly be tragic.
Assassin Deak that's what i'm do in g
Queen Alma im just saying zuki,,, ur kinda,,, unfit to rule in my opinion,,,,,,,,,,
Princess Zuki h e a r s y o u t a l k i n g s h i t
Assassin Lavi dyING DOESN'T COUNT AS RELAXING
Princess Zuki sqUINTS IN THAT DIRECTION
Assassin Deak uh?? yES?? IT DOES???
Queen Alma looks over in zuki's direction briefly
Conman Nea shakes his head softly
Queen Alma i saw u take off ur mask i know who u are
Conman Nea: Worry not, things are well enough where I'm from, though far from perfect.
Assassin Deak hey,
Assassin Deak hey, lavi
Assassin Deak watch this
Princess Zuki w i l l c u t u
Princess Zuki via kanda but
Conman Nea: Though I appreciate the concern. It's good to know that your compassion doesn't stop with at the borders of your land.
Knight Kanda zuki why would you use me to cut the queen who would declare war instantly
Knight Kanda that is bad planning
Princess Zuki she wont declare war if we kill her,,,
Princess Zuki WHO AM I TONIGHT I AM NOT ZUK I
Queen Alma: I'm glad to hear it. We can strive for perfection, but surely not reach it unfortunately. I care for the people of my Kingdom, true, but also those who are affected by negative decisions. People should be safe wherever they are, no matter who rules them. Even those who may be misled in their... methods.
Queen Alma very casually looks at zuki one more time before casually looking back at nea
Knight Kanda zuki n o
Knight Kanda you're as bad as that stupid shadow guy
Princess Zuki gl A RI N G
Knight Kanda that i was going to kick out of the window
Conman Nea wow this chicks an angel
Princess Zuki mumbles
Princess Zuki: she's looking over here.
Conman Nea: The world needs more people like you. Perhaps then there'd be less fighting.
Princess Zuki: the queen.
Knight Kanda looks over at the queen for a second
Knight Kanda: She looks to be talking to that... man?
Princess Zuki: she was looking here. i saw her.
Princess Zuki is tired
Conman Nea why you gotta be pausing like that

Knight Kanda: Is there a problem with her looking over?
Princess Zuki: ...
Princess Zuki: ...we should go.
Princess Zuki Is Tired
Knight Kanda: ...If that is what you want, then we can leave now.
Queen Alma: You flatter me, sir. There are people better than myself, but what I can do to help I would do without second thought. Enough about me, however. What about yourself? Surely you have stories to share.
Queen Alma zuki ur really really really a pacifist
Assassin Deak or you could declare war.
Princess Zuki SHHHHJ MEG FUCKED UP TONIGHT
Assassin Deak declare war on each other.
Princess Zuki OLD ZUKI KEEPS POPPING IN N SAYING HEY LIKE THE LIL BITCH SHE I S
Knight Kanda dont give anyone ideas
Conman Nea: Oh, me? I'm not too terribly interesting of a man.
Knight Kanda shut up before i cut u
Assassin Deak WAR! WAR! WAR! WAR! WAR! WAR!
Conman Nea: I've simply been travelling here and there as of late.
Princess Zuki watch as meg tries to fix it all by saying zuki's tired n putting her back to her meek lil self
Assassin Deak whispers,
Assassin Deak: war...! war...! war...!
Assassin Deak sn i c kers and slips back into the shadows
Messenger Cecil d ea k n o

Princess Zuki: { ok so im jsut quickly resetting zuki bcuz i did Not mean for her to be such a bitch tonight so uh ignoRE HER PLS

Queen Alma if it doesn't, not a lot.
Conman Nea is a Confident Drunk
Conman Nea but also a Lazy Drunk
Assassin Lavi dodGES INTO THE CROWD FASTER THAN HIS IDIOT DRUNK TWIN B Y E

Knight Kanda: There isn't any need to drag me. My apologies.
Assassin Lavi sneaks over to Deak while Kanda's at the smol mercy and just grabs him by the collar and gives him a few good smacks for Bookman
Assassin Deak tRIES BITING HIM
Assassin Deak is so fucking drunk rn it's not funny
Princess Zuki looks back at deak and lavi and then to alma
Princess Zuki have fun lol
Assassin Deak like seriously
Queen Alma: I cannot believe this.
Assassin Lavi shaKING HIM BY THE COLLAR
Assassin Deak isa is fed up with my shit
Assassin Lavi: you are in so much trouble right now
Princess Zuki turns and just. staRTS WALKIN AWA Y
Assassin Deak just looks at him blankly and just
Assassin Deak points at him
Assassin Deak: do i know you?
Queen Alma: I can't say I expected more from a Kingdom's ruler that cannot keep her Kingdom in line, but surely I expected a bit more for her keeping a singular person in line.
Princess Zuki is about to crY
Princess Zuki stops
Princess Zuki is reALLY about to cry
Princess Zuki: ...my apologies, your highness. it will not happen again.
Assassin Deak s n i c k er i n g
Assassin Deak lowers his head and murmurs,,
Assassin Deak it's pretty unintelligible tho
Queen Alma: Your promises don't hold much when you equate them to the prosperity of your Kingdom, dear.
Princess Zuki u should be thanking me for not having a heart attack right here right now
Queen Alma: You are far too young and far too naive to sway, much like a dandelion compared to a rose.
Queen Alma: Your advisers should think better should they have the right head to do so.
Assassin Deak: are you sure i'm... the one in trouble?
Princess Zuki if u look close enough u can see her starting to shake :'))
Queen Alma sighs
Queen Alma: Ruling isn't a job for a wilting child, dear, perhaps you should pass the torch sooner than later and let them try to fix the shambles of your Kingdom.
Princess Zuki: ...y...yes, ma'am.
Princess Zuki should let cicia fall like daethen did---
Queen Alma that is literally not what i said
Queen Alma: One last thing:
Queen Alma: Don't ruin the lives of your people just because your life won't last. That isn't fair to them.
Assassin Lavi: Yes
Assassin Lavi : /
Assassin Deak looks at him again
Assassin Deak hhhhhhh
Princess Zuki wants peace between everyone :'((
Princess Zuki: y...es, m...a'am...
Princess Zuki is walkin and walkin and walkin and sHE GONE
Princess Zuki may or may not be crying by now who knows
Queen Alma looks over at deak and lavi
Queen Alma g lares
Assassin Deak fu c k
Assassin Deak glances over
Assassin Deak: ...allow me to apologize.
Assassin Lavi I would say this is your fault and u deal wit--
Assassin Deak: i don't know what came over me.
Assassin Lavi oh
Assassin Lavi okay
Queen Alma: Learn self-control.
Assassin Lavi don't fuck this up
Assassin Deak: yes, your majesty.
Queen Alma: I expected more from you.
Queen Alma looks at lavi : /
Assassin Deak: yes ma'am.
Assassin Deak: ah...
Assassin Deak looks at lavi too,,
Princess Zuki is currently outside and bawling but still lookin cute in her dress
Assassin Lavi: Apologies. I was just trying to prevent this idiot from becoming one of the dead.
Assassin Deak: ...my cousin and i are very sorry.
Assassin Lavi gives Deak another smack b/c really now : /
Queen Alma: ..........Cousin?
Queen Alma you said he was your brother
Queen Alma i have more than one problem with you now
Assassin Deak wHAT
Assassin Deak fuc k
Assassin Deak: i mean... brother....
Assassin Deak: this alcohol. it's messing with me.
Assassin Lavi I said he was family I didn't say brother
Assassin Deak: m-my apologies...
Queen Alma i said brother and you said yES
Assassin Deak: i am so very sorry, ma'am.
Assassin Lavi I said I came with like company
Queen Alma oh
Queen Alma well now he said brother
Queen Alma shrugs not my problem
Queen Alma actually it is
Queen Alma because you guys made a mESS
Queen Alma: As you should be.
Queen Alma: Surely you were taught better.
Assassin Deak: yes, ma'am, we were.
Assassin Lavi: I do apologize, your Highness. I will be sure to keep him on a tighter leash from now on, as he was taught better than this.
Assassin Deak growls softly @ lavi
Queen Alma: I may not agree with the child's methods of ruling, but at least she has her age as an excuse.
Queen Alma sighs
Queen Alma you all suck this is why nea's my favorite
Assassin Deak: ...i have no excuses, ma'am. i am very sorry.
Assassin Lavi don't u growl at me I'm not the one who dumped WINE ON THE ANGRIEST KNIGHT HERE
Princess Zuki iS DOING HER BES T
Queen Alma: As you have said many times, sir.
Assassin Deak dips his head,,
Queen Alma: Apologies only fix so much, and words only express a quantifiable amount. See to it that you control yourself in the future.
Assassin Lavi: We shall see to it, your Highness
Queen Alma i have to clean this mess you bitcHES
Assassin Lavi grabs Deak by the ear and marches him away
Assassin Deak: if there is anything-
Assassin Deak hHH OWWWW
Assassin Deak oW OW OW
Assassin Deak oW
Assassin Lavi: SOMEONE is getting a re-introductory course to his ettiquette lessons : /
Queen Alma no one here is going to help you
Assassin Deak: ow... ow, ow, ow....
Princess Zuki is still cryin outside tbH
Queen Alma and i actually liked you, 'astor'
Queen Alma : ' (
Assassin Deak ,,,
Assassin Deak i'm?? sorry for oNCE
Assassin Lavi loOK I WASN'T GOING TO LET MY FAMILY GET KILLED even if they are a dumbass APPARENTLY
Assassin Deak I'M ACTUALLY SORRY FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE
Princess Zuki aRE U SORRY TO ME OPR ALMA
Assassin Deak I DON'T KNOW BUT I'M SORRY
Queen Alma i rule a kingdom
Queen Alma sorry doesnt do much
Princess Zuki but im also dying of heart disease n desperately searching for someone to take the throne before i die
Queen Alma do you know how many murderers come in and go 'im sorry'?
Queen Alma do you expect me to forgive everyone who says im sorry
Queen Alma do you thinking ruling a kingdom is that easy?
Queen Alma because if you do, i hope to every god that you don't rule a kingdom
Queen Alma : /
Princess Zuki ....ma'am you're one to talk because your kingdom just loves you oh-so much you don't have to do anything
Queen Alma why do you think my kingdom loves me, princess
Queen Alma please explain
Princess Zuki you have them all fooled with your cult
Queen Alma what cult do you keep talking abOUT
Princess Zuki i try to give my people peace and hope, but apparently not declaring war on daethen is a crime in and of itself
Princess Zuki thE BULLSHIT PROPHECY STUFF
Queen Alma you come into my kingdom
Queen Alma insult the religion we believe in
Queen Alma and then question why my kingdom runs smoothly
Queen Alma whereas yours doesnt
Princess Zuki you insult my beliefs i insult yours
Princess Zuki mine doesn't because GOD FORBID I DON'T START A WAR
Assassin Deak FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
Queen Alma i insulted your method of ruling
Queen Alma not your beliefs
Princess Zuki i believe in peace for all
Princess Zuki you believe in survival of the fittest
Queen Alma if you cannot make sacrifices for the good of your people, you are unfit to rule
Assassin Lavi hey Zuki how much would u pay us for silence : )
Princess Zuki what sacrifices are to be made? we are not in danger. we never have been and the people are angry over nothing
Queen Alma youre naive, you believe in this idea of 'peace for all', but that doesn't exist
Queen Alma and thats why your kingdom is dying
Princess Zuki it DOES exist. anything exists, just like your piss-poor excuse for a unicorn
Queen Alma how is my unicorn a piss-poor excuse for a unicorn
Queen Alma if it is a unicorn
Queen Alma ,,,,thats a logical error
Princess Zuki my kingdom is dying because my people refuse to accept me as their leader, even though i have put everything on the line for their sake. i refuse to let any harm befall my people
Princess Zuki my kingdom will be peaceful, even if it takes my death to change it. we are not fighters; we are defenders
Queen Alma you defend from nothing if you fight for nothing
Princess Zuki we have nothing to fight for
Princess Zuki these people have everything. what else is left to give?
Queen Alma if they had everything, they wouldnt be revolting
Queen Alma so evidently they dont have everything
Princess Zuki i'd be able to do something about it if they would give me an answer besides some petty revenge spew
Queen Alma you refuse to take and so they refuse to give
Queen Alma take from others what they want — their revenge for something they loved
Assassin Lavi u people and ur politics
Queen Alma arent you busy schooling your family member
Assassin Lavi nah I got one better
Assassin Lavi my gramps schooling my family member :3
Princess Zuki meg is running out of shit to say so here's zuki crying again

Assassin Deak: ;; y e ah r i p

Princess Zuki: ...they're fighting like barbarians.

Pegasus Knight Lena moVES BACK MOTHERFUckING FEnCING
Messenger Cecil: But she is a woman...
Messenger Cecil not used to female knights rip
Knight Doug slowly takes a step back before looking for another opportunity to attack
Messenger Cecil unless this is a kind if world where that is common????
Assassin Deak leans back against the wall and just watches
Princess Zuki: { going to bed
Princess Zuki left the chat
Pegasus Knight Lena are u a fencing knight btw
Assassin Deak is placing his bets on lenalee tbh
Pegasus Knight Lena what kind of knight fen ce s
Knight Doug i learned that way
Pegasus Knight Lena what a twig
Knight Doug are you going to attack back?
Knight Doug or are you just going to trash talk?
Pegasus Knight Lena i feel like trash talking
Pegasus Knight Lena and seeing if you're ever gonna do something useful w/ that stick you call a sword
Knight Doug spins before delivering a blow hopefully to her leg
Pegasus Knight Lena wHY DID YOU SPin doUG
Knight Doug bECAUSE IT TECHNICALLY HELPS
Knight Doug IT PUTS MORE POWER INTO THE BLOW
Pegasus Knight Lena and makes you more vulnerable to miss and get hit back if you do miss
Pegasus Knight Lena thats predictable bc u have 2 spin which takes more moving
Knight Doug good job pointing that out
Knight Doug now fight me
Pegasus Knight Lena cant u see im busy criticizing
Knight Doug s TOP AND FIGHT ME
Pegasus Knight Lena moves backwards to avoid the swipe before swinging back at him bitch u gotta use brute force not some twig
Knight Doug o k
Knight Doug ge ts hit and grips the wound with a hiss
Knight Doug glares at her before moving back, trying to calculate another attack
Knight Doug o i was wrong about that, oops
Knight Doug haha silly isa,,, spinning reduces power
Pegasus Knight Lena moves forward and swings the sword down at him
Knight Doug pARRIES!!
Knight Doug takes a step back and huffs
Pegasus Knight Lena hOW THE FUCK DID U PARRY WITH UR STUPID TWIG
Assassin Deak: just kick his ass already!

Pegasus Knight Lena steps backwards ow i was poked by a twig
Pegasus Knight Lena v injure
Assassin Deak: kick his ass!
Pegasus Knight Lena ur stupid baby sword cant puncture armor smh
Pegasus Knight Lena these r the medieval times not the french revolution loSEr
Knight Doug takes another swing at her legs >:I
Assassin Deak this is almost painful
Pegasus Knight Lena moves back again for a second before stepping forward when the movement is completed, swinging the broadsword in a left arc
Assassin Deak is tempted to just
Assassin Deak draw his dagger and end doug himself
Pegasus Knight Lena chILL DEAK
Pegasus Knight Lena WHAT IS WROng
Knight Doug uM?!?!
Knight Doug t ak e s the hi t
Knight Doug because he's a man not a wimp
Knight Doug has two bleeding gashes now but
Pegasus Knight Lena no thats bc ur stupid
Knight Doug he isn't gonna give up
Pegasus Knight Lena being a man is knowing how to step back out of the general area of being hurt
Knight Doug will you like
Knight Doug leave me alone?
Knight Doug let me live while i still can??
Pegasus Knight Lena you agreed to fight, so no
Knight Doug bc i'm probably going to die before the end of this au
Knight Doug isa changed his mind
Pegasus Knight Lena brings the sword up and swings it down towards doug since he isnt moVING
Knight Doug parries again, panting just a bit
Knight Doug ok are you wearing any like face gear or
Pegasus Knight Lena you mean like a helmet
Knight Doug yeah
Knight Doug that thing
Knight Doug isa's tired ok
Pegasus Knight Lena not one that's covering my face, just the sides and back of my head
Knight Doug : >
Knight Doug takes swing at her face, hopefully to cut across her cheek and to her lips
Knight Doug : >
Pegasus Knight Lena nOT COOL
Knight Doug THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR CALLING MY SWORD A TWIG
Pegasus Knight Lena gets cut and steps back
Knight Doug quickly steps back afterward
Pegasus Knight Lena: It still cuts like a twig.
Knight Doug hums
Knight Doug: perhaps you'd like another cut.
Pegasus Knight Lena: Perhaps you'd like to find a better sword.
Knight Doug: have you perhaps got one i can borrow?
Knight Doug: i was not expecting a fight.
Pegasus Knight Lena: Unfortunately I'm lacking a spare at the moment.
Knight Doug: ah.
Knight Doug: that's quite alright.
Knight Doug: perhaps we should wait until i have a better weapon since this is unfair?
Pegasus Knight Lena: Is it unfair if that's the weapon you choose?
Pegasus Knight Lena: Should a Knight not be prepared at all times to be good?
Knight Doug: like i said... i was not expecting a fight. i came as a messenger.
Pegasus Knight Lena scoffs
Pegasus Knight Lena: A knight being a messenger surely sends a message.
Knight Doug hums
Knight Doug: with a king like cross, i think you would understand.
Pegasus Knight Lena sheathes her sword and shakes her head
Pegasus Knight Lena: A pity to have a King like that.
Knight Doug takes a deep breath before sheathing his sword as well
Knight Doug: ...he means well.
Pegasus Knight Lena: Sure, if not he would have been overthrown long ago.
Knight Doug: i will not argue.
Knight Doug: i see no point in it.
Knight Doug: ...it has been nice to see you, though... old friend.
Knight Doug smiles and turns to walk back to get himself some wine and patch himself up
Pegasus Knight Lena: OooOOo o ]
Pegasus Knight Lena: in te n se p ain ]
Knight Doug: ;; l aUGHS AND CRI E S
Assassin Deak: ...
Assassin Deak: you...
Assassin Deak: you know him?
Pegasus Knight Lena scoffs and wipes at her face
Pegasus Knight Lena: No.
Assassin Deak hums,,
Assassin Deak: why did he call you old friend then?
Assassin Deak tilts his head
Assassin Deak: there must be some sort of connection between you and him.
Pegasus Knight Lena: You ask a lot of questions, don't you?
Pegasus Knight Lena: I haven't the slightest idea, though.
Assassin Deak: i suppose i do.
Assassin Deak: i'm a very curious man.
Pegasus Knight Lena: Curiosity killed the cat.
Assassin Deak g r i n s
Assassin Deak: true.
Assassin Deak: good thing the cat has nine lives.
