Haha, wow! I look like, super cool!

[ time to be THE COOLEST OFFICER AND CONQUER EVERYTHING SINGLEHANDEDLY ]

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM

[handpuppets]

[ you look EXTREMELY RAD, yes

this personage of gender: regal and personality: cause problems on purpose is applauding. ]

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM

[justicebewon]

[ highly respectable, tbh ]

Oh, oh, who's this? I don't think we've met.

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM

[handpuppets]

Ataleestu Illmatar, Praanch of New Karkarham. Charmed.

[ for whatever reason, they have an accent similar to Paloma's, except they also sound Australian.

Weird. ]

And who might this lovely lady be?

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM

[justicebewon]

Luna Kir Royale, Cool Space Word For Tactician and/or Caretaker of BARiTONES.

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM

[handpuppets]

Oh, very respectable, then! What brings you here, tonight?

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM

[justicebewon]

Well, if I had to say I have any particular goal, I think I'd have to go with "looking for a very dear friend". What about you?

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM

[handpuppets]

Ah! Well, I hope you find them, wherever they might happen to be.

My spouse and I are drumming up support, you could say, for our cause—which is to say, the building of our new city of Illmatar, and materiel support for the Grand Army of Free Mars, which is aiding the revolution in Meepsoor led by First-Keeper Naarabot. I don't suppose you'd be amenable to a trade of favors?

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM

[justicebewon]

[ oh. well, okay. ]

...Huh. Well, I suppose this is a situation in which I'm very susceptible to being bribed. What exactly is your favour?

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM

[handpuppets]

[ they make a very excited sort of gesture. ]

Well, if you happened to have military influence, or perhaps some over low society, we have some different influences that may be of use to you.

[ they will offer to trade you 1:1 military or low society influence for any of "the canals must flow," "pride goeth before a fall," or "all's fair in love and war." ]

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM

[justicebewon]

Welllll, I can give you two military and one low society forrrrrr...everything you've got?

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM

[handpuppets]

[ you receive 1x "the canals must flow," 1x "pride goeth before a fall," and 1x "all's fair in love and war." ]

Pleasure doing business with you!

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM

[justicebewon]

You're welcooome! Best of luck in your breaking the chains!

[ headed to the lower deck! ]

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM

[tradesecret]

Indeed, you do!

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM

[justicebewon]

[ gives a bow ]

Thank you, thank you!

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM

[tradesecret]

I'm glad we could be together on this lovely... is this evening? It seems we're in space.

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM

[justicebewon]

Aw man, I better not get abandoned to die alone or something stupid like that. Getting space Hachiko'd now would suck like, so bad?

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM

[tradesecret]

I'm certain even our most unmarriageable companions wouldn't abandon you in this situation.

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM

[justicebewon]

I dunno, Crown's soon-to-be girlfriend's here. They might elope on the last remaining escape pod just before the self-destruct sequence starts or something.

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM

[tradesecret]

If that's the case, we'll just have to build our own.

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM

[justicebewon]

Can you do that? I dunno, I've never done space stuff like, ever.

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM

[tradesecret]

No, but hopefully we can figure it out if we ask the right people and do some research.

[bondsofsuffering]

Hey, no fair, I want a cool outfit too...

[Said a bit quietly because he's probably supposed to be like, a respectable doctor or something, but???]

[justicebewon]

You gotta join the military! Blood and sweat is repaid with style.

[bondsofsuffering]

Unfortunately, I'm more of a healer rather than a fighter.
