[ When you insert the key and open the door, you'll find the room inside looks like the living room of a mansion. There are several doors, but one in particular stands out to you: it is ornately decorated, the very door's wood itself carved beautifully with gold etched in to make luxurious patterns depicting what looks like the sky and the wind blowing through the grasslands. Though the door is closed, you can see through it—as if it's somewhat transparent.

The room is painted baby blue and a gold-plated cradle sits in the room. Inside, a baby cries - high pitched and noisy, though immediately a nurse comes in to rock the child back to sleep. ]

-

[ Slowly, the scene changes, fading in and out with various silent scenes—the baby sits up, trying to climb out of her cradle; a little toddler dressed prettily with expensive clothes beams pleasantly; a tantrum, thrown by the little girl who's distressed; the little girl holding a puppy, pleased as punch; then the wall becomes opaque. ]

[ In the middle of the open doorway, a young girl the age of 10 sits on a chair, smiling at you. a golden retriever is curled up beside her.

This is your little girl. you couldn't help spoiling her, honestly - after all, she's a noble too, and she should like to become a princess as well. She deserves it! But you also know, with how your history's gone, she's going to have to work to get to the top. Still, you have faith in her - she's your girl, after all. ]

[Arriving late. Weeks late apparently. No Starbucks.]

Do I even want to know what has been going on here?

We've been entrusted with raising an impressionable child.

And what "impressions" have you been bestowing upon her?

She impressioned on Infinity most.

So wordsmithing.

She likes grifting most.

She's also around to talk with too.

Great. Just fucking great.

That certainly is not going to come bite her in the ass later.

We've been going with it, so if she's gonna be a grifter, she might as well be the best at it.

Ah- though her teacher pulled a con job on her. Threatened to call her on her bullshit, so we told her to learn it, and the teacher failed her anyway. That's a thing we gotta deal with.

The teacher failed her even though she learned the material...

I taught her to convince people to convince people to give her what she wants through charm and wit!

She’s doing very well. I’m so proud of our little grifter.

Are you? What happens when she can't deliver on her promises?

Wow, talk about pessimism. We’ve been very supportive, and she hasn’t been thrown in jail yet.

REALISM. Not pessimism.

And is that a fucking concern?

Well, she had a bit of trouble in the beginning. But we all taught her how to not get caught, and she’s been doing fabulously ever since!

Except for when it came to that teacher. She was a reall killjoy.

We are raising a child. The results are... mixed.

Explain.

She happened to take after Infinity's teachings the most.

[I think you can imagine how that went]

So far, I believe her reputation might be salvageable if we can absolve the general suspicion from people around her. It's not too bad yet, besides one teacher who failed her out of spite.

The general suspicion being what -- she's a liar?

Good at tricking people into giving her what she wants at their expense. I think Shogun said it was called grifting?

. . .

Wonderful.

So we alleviate suspicion by having her learn to convince people that what she wants is what they want?

I don't know how it'll go, but it's what we have to work with.

Our child's name is Primrose Victory Bacon^3, which should clear the whole thing up immediately.

How could you let the rest of them name her that!?

QW5nZWw= came up with the suggestions and Primrose loved them. I wasn't going to break both their hearts at once. Just call her Victory or Primrose.

[Even though it's so fucking tempting to call her VICTORY]

Primrose, it is.
