Apologies (Closed RP to Ladyanthonelles)

      Oh how Cole loathed this season. The harvests had to be accounted for, the farmers needed to be reimbursed in a way that both kept the simpletons happy and his coffers full, the Gorons were starting to complain about awakening dragons in various caves in which they toiled and mined ore to feed the ever-encompassing maw of progress, the bills, the laws, the various elections, the cries for aide, the demands to see the Princess, the harrowed letters crying out about monsters... Who knew being Chancellor meant being the babysitter for an entire worthless, godsforsaken country of buzzing little gnats. Now his arch-nemesis was his stacks of papers that never seemed to decrease in size no matter how many hand cramps, ink stains, and quill wounds were inflicted upon him and there were times where Cole just wanted to shuck off his disguise, use every nasty spell in his repertoire, and take out all of Castle Town in a seething explosion of fire and darkness. A man could daydream. He was hurriedly carrying one stack of audits from one side of the castle to the other (a task too monumental to trust to anyone else in case they happened to spot something...confidential. And forged.) when out of the corner of the eye, he spotted her. His foot hung in mid-air for a bit, so great was the mental derail just from seeing her, before taking a step backwards and setting his documents aside. "Oh." he said at first, his face blank. The moment of surprise didn't last and his voice soon oozed with annoyance like a festering wound. "And why are you here...?"

((Lady Kabuze at first wanted to help this Cole, and try to be kind, but because of his current actions has developed a strong distaste for him and now despises him, especially since he beat up her husband. She doesn't think anything will make up for his alternates mistakes and now is convinced that this cole is a madman.))

((Hah hah, I forgot to post this while I was doing the character headcanon meme, but headcanon sort of accepted. I say sort of because I like the idea of Cole gradually making up to her and I don’t want to deal with the absolute “nothing can make up for his mistakes” when I like the idea of Cole gradually smoothing out his relationship with his alternate family.…or if could blow up into a full-blown “I hate everyone in your family and get out of my life or else I’ll kill your son right in front of your eyes” hatred. Chancellor Cole is not a very stable individual. Also, Cole has this to say. “He threw the first punch! Come on! And after your father tried to kill me! You people are awful!”))

"A-hem." She stiffened up and spoke with a tone devoid of any emotion, a stern look on her face. "Good day /chancellor./"

When Cole quickly looked up from his paperwork and saw Kabuze, there was a brief split-second where something flashed across his face and eyes. It was hard to say what, if it was regret or anger or hatred or sadness, but it was extinguished as quickly as it flared up and was replaced with the same narrow-eyed expression he gave all of his chancellery’s intruders."Lady Kabuze Anthonelles." he answered with an equally emotionless tone, although he showed quite a bit more teeth when he spoke those words than he would to any of the peasants that came in. He began to drum his fingers against the top of his desk as he scrutinized the woman in front of him. Clockwork gears danced in his head as every available option was weighed to get the best possible outcome that would benefit him the most.What was especially worrisome was the part of him that wanted to hurt her, just to get back at his double. Let’s see how smug and better he thinks he is when his wife is dead, shall we? a thought rose in his head. He quickly shook it away."So, how much money do you want in compensation for the damages?" Cole finally said in a professional tone that was also lacking in any kindness or warmth. Once again, no emotions were betrayed. He took out his ink quill and made a point to not look her in the eyes as he began to briskly write the lady a check.

Say Cole, What do you think of your alternate self and his family?

Well, let’s think about this for a moment. My alternate’s family consists of my whiny little rabbit of an alternate who constantly runs away from his problems and refuses to see reason, a barbarian that I would just love to kill, a child I have yet to meet but has the blood of a coward coursing through his veins, and a lady who I am growing fond of but unfortunately has poor taste in what she finds attractive considering she chooses to defend the gutless coward. So I would say I don’t really think of them too fondly, no. Rather a shame, really. Things were starting off rather well but my encounters with my other future self as of late has really soured my opinion. All he does is shriek about his problems and teleport away. Quite unforgivable. The fact that Lady Kabuze was afraid of telling her own husband that she was pregnant…to what depths must I sink to become that man?

✄:Something about my portrayal that differs from othersI was tempted to cop out by saying “Mine has wings, the others don’t.” or “this one likes to stab things more than the other ones” and leave it at that but I want to say that mine’s more of a well-intentioned extremist than the other ones? I like playing a Chancellor Cole that genuinely thinks he’s helping New Hyrule, a war-scarred land, and believes his plans will lead the country into a new Golden Age without anymore need of outdated customs like heroes. Note, that doesn’t make him less evil; if anything, it’s all simmering under the surface, ready to explode. Cole is a very accomplished liar after all…Just, you know, he’s more eager to help others because it’s easier to attract flies with honey than vinegar. (just mind your back when he holds you close like good chums; he’s always carrying a dagger)I just like playing villains that have a reason why they're doing awful things. Cole is just sick of Hyrule never advancing beyond magic swords. Absolutely sick. Perhaps more demons would speed up technology some...

2: ((fighting with Post!Cole))

A drabble in which my muse fight with/against yours (specify)

They were meeting in his office when it happened. A great earthquake suddenly shook the castle, sending prized possessions crashing to the floor. When a tentacle shot through the floor, Cole, without thinking, grabbed his double and teleported from his office into the town square, no longer caring if anyone saw two Chancellor Coles or him using magic. Cole could only watch in horror as black, stringy tentacles tipped with eyeballs ripped apart Hyrule Castle as effortlessly as a child grabbing a hold of an expensive train model. A loud screech pierced the air, drowning out the sounds of the dying, the injured, and the scared, as a large, squid-like monster emerged from the very ground itself, its massive, bloated body dwarfing the Tower of Spirits and casting a shadow on the capitol.Cole, and the rest of New Hyrule for that matter, was wrong all this time about the Spirit Tracks. They weren’t holding Malladus prisoner; they were holding back something worse. Train tracks and engines were upended and tossed aside like wrapping paper as Bellum, Eldritch Abomination, He Who Was Old When Hyrule Was Young, Great Water Being of Entropy revealed himself to a war-scarred world and to frightened and dying citizens.Chancellor Cole felt his veins turn to ice. He had plans to knock down the monarchy and install a demon king as ruler, but he didn’t want to see New Hyrule fall to ruin. His plans were to make New Hyrule better! "It seems that we’re not the only ones that can come back from the dead!" Cole said, handing his copy a letter opener just as an afterthought as the space around them became swamped by malformed black blobs of ooze, each blob wearing the same eyeball as its master. Spheres of crackling electricity manifested themselves in both hands as he bared his teeth at the abomination tearing apart New Hyrule. His New Hyrule."You hold these creatures off; I need to find the Princess!" he barked out an order to his alternate self, teleporting himself back into the epicenter of destruction. He didn’t care if the humans now knew what he was, despite decades of hiding his true identity. He was not going to let his castle or the Princess be destroyed.

if your alternate and his wife were to die suddenly, would you be willing to take care of their child(ren) if for some reason no on else coud?

"Wait. Wha…?"The chancellor cringed at this, his face taking on a look of genuine shock when he thought of the possible situations that could cause this particular scenario. Vivid flashbacks of the Spirit War briefly flashed in his head of demon hunters and mobs before he shot up from his chair and stood on the seat cushion and started clawing wildly in the air as he tried to fight for an actual response to the feelings he was having.”W-why would you even ask such a thing? That’s a horrible question!” he blurted out, visibly flustered.

Dear Lady Kabuze Anthonelles,I do hope this lovely day finds you well. I am writing this letter in curiosity of how you are faring and do hope that you are doing better. Congratulations on the good news (intentionally wording this vaguely in case your husband is reading this as well; if he’s like me, he probably tampers with the mail) and on the still happy marriage. I’m very glad to know that you’re not having any relationship troubles with myself. Ha ha!Our last conversation we had together does fill me with a bit of worry, though, especially with what you mentioned about your father. Do try to keep yourself safe and warn me if you need me to come over there and help. I’m doing this out of whatever kindness that’s left in my heart and purely out of non-selfish reasons, of course.That being said, if you need any sanctuary from your family life, even for just a little while, the doors of New Hyrule are open to you. I’m not asking to take the place of your husband, but the least I can do is try to make things better. I would extend this same offer to your husband, but since he’s me, I’m completely unsure how I could have him in Hyrule castle without people mistaking him for me.Please keep yourself in the best of health, not just for your sake but for everyone’s sakes. I really do worry about you.Signed,Cole Von GlaissP.S. I don’t think I’m currently on speaking terms with myself, so I do want you to pass this along to my double and let him know that there is now more than one Engineer running around New Hyrule and he should express the utmost caution because I do believe both of them are after our blood.P.S.S. Also, watch out for Ghirahim. That barmy bastard’s been slinking around lately and I don’t trust him as far as I could throw him.P.S.S. On a similar note, don’t be alarmed if you spot either flying saucers or giant robot owls. I’ve been making arrangements and I forgot to mention either of these alliances in past conversations. I’ll explain everything later.
