I say, About, ........ 47?

defining's parents? My friend might have met them...
Managed to hitch hike with that airship fleet the prince was expecting.
*arrows and bullets fly by* ?! You want some, huh? *lunges at the punks who shot at 'em*

*the battle rages on...*

*gives Sir FM the "look"* Pipe it down, cowboy...

*finishes his diagrams and starts to read the paper again*

hmmm.... it seems there some guy just randomly picking fights in the country side....

*shakes head. turns to the queen*

we leave for a little bit and see what happens?

I see, I see . . . *sighs in disappointment*

When is the Prince coming back? The meeting of his parental units should take place before any wedding plans begin to take shape.

a better question would be if his airships ever made it here... i don't see any reports of them in the logs that armstrong gave me.

*a concerned look appears on his face, but then he notices some persimmons and gets distracted*

*sees what distracted the King*

Ohhh . . . *shakes herself out of the persimmon trance*

Er, ahem, anyway . . . perhaps the airships had to take an emergency landing in the north before making it here, and were ambushed by dwarves?

dwarves?! where?! those bearded midgets better not be in the castle...

*continues on a anti-dwarf tyrade for another 10 mins*

maybe i should design some kind of dwarf "deterrent". now where did i put my copy of One Thousand and One Ways to Stop a Dwarf?

*begins plans on anti-dwarf countermeasures*

I saw it in the library the previous night when I was doing research there, and thought you might want to make use of it some time.

*hands him the thick book*

*takes book and hugs quis*

and this is why you are the best wife ever.... what other woman would support me in such efforts?

*starts to flip through the book*

Haha, you're welcome, dearest. What sort of wife would I be if I didn't know what my husband likes (to maim)?

I'll leave you to your dwarf-stopping then. *heads for the library again*

@Bling: Since when was I a knight?

FYI: I'm at the factory. Or did the court exorcist frag that place? *sigh*
Reached a dead end. *kills next 20 enemy soldiers* Whatever. I'll go back to clean up duty.

Well, wouldn't you rather be a knight?

heh married huh?

@Dark Arbitrator: The queen is married, The princess is engaged and the apprentice queen is being courted. (What happened to Udon?)

@Bling: Nah. Knights are great and all, but I'd have to adhere to the codes of chivalry. I'll pass on that. Besides, I have to fufill my obligations as a mercenary to my employer first before I consider anything like that.

*unit arrives at enemy fort. falling gets handed a bucket and mop*

What's this for?

C.O.: The troops are going to clean out the remaining enemy. YOU and a select few are going to mop up behind us. *gives orders to charge and leads troops in*

*stands among the weakest soldiers and looks on as the troops swarm the place*

*sigh* Better get started...

*Armstong come running in*

Armstrong: Sir, I have some troubling news....

*Looks up from eating persimmons and working on plans for an anti-dwarf gundam attachment*

this can't be good.... better not be those damned dwarves, i swear i'll tear their legs off if they messed with my mystical persimmons...

Armstrong: No sir, it seems that the mercenary has started his own campaign. He has moved into foreign lands and started an attack.

argh.... this is SO not what i need right now.. send a letter immediately stating that this action is not officially sanctioned by our nation. as for the mercenary, well....

Hito, will you ever seice to amaze me?

possibly... but cease to amaze? never.

*quitely peaks into the throne room, taking a quick survey of the chamber. Feeling that all is well, he quietly slips in, the two diamonds in a small pouch which hangs from his belt*
Now I must make haste to the jeweler's, before the princess sees me...

Edit - *dashes across the throne room towards the main entrance*

*teleports down to the throne-room* *sigh* Ah, what an afternoon... *buries face in hands* I can't believe how irresponsible I can get... ;___; How could I lose my best-friend's addy...?

scampers into the room...sideways on the wall near the princess's eye level*

why, dear princess...whatever is wrong? O_O you look quite distraught! can this one help?

*is crying a river*

Oh, my dear Lady Tokage... I lost my best-friend's address... I was gonna use it to send a gift to the Prince today... ;_; But now I can't... and I promised him...

*breaks down and weeps to high heaven...*

*strokes bling's hair*

there, there, princess... the prince loves you more than life... this one is sure he will understand. everyone misplaces things...

*smile*

come, this one will help you look for it?

*wipes eyes*... I can't remember whether it was Box 537 or 527...

*hugs Lady Tokage* Thanks, m'lady... ;_;

*hears the princess' sobs, stoppping him dead in his tracks. He pivots on the ball of one foot and rushes back to her side* 'The darned jeweler can wait!' *thinks to self*
*after giving a nod to Tokage, then slips an arm about the princess* Love, it's okay, I'm not worried if you send out the gift today or on Saturday. I trust that it will get here when it's supposed to. Though I do thank you for taking the effort to get it sent out today. *gives the princess a light kisses on the cheek, then wipes away the rest of her tears*

*is so happy to have the Prince with her...*

Thank you for understanding, sweetheart... ;_;

But I hate myself for disappointing you... *tears fall again...*

*looks to Tokage* Royal excorsist, could you get some tissues please? I have a feeling the princess is gonna need them.

*Holds the princess close and gnetly wipes away her tears* Don't be angry at yourself hon, we all make mistakes...I'm not disappointed, a little saddened maybe, but not disappointed.

absolutely, my prince. kleenex, coming right up.

*puts hands on hips*

this one will go and make some tea for you, as well, princess. *turns to the prince* anything for you, young sir?

*slowly nods to the exorcist* Thanks, and I'll take a cup of tea too, if it's not too much trouble.

*smiles weakly* Yes, thanks, a bit of tea should do me good, m'lady...

*embraces the Prince* And thank you, too, sweetheart... *sniffle* There, I'm feeling better...

*comes in from her chambers* I wonder if the Queen has lessons for me today...?

*quietly walks into the courtyard (and everyone thought I was gonna say throne room >:)) and looks about. As he rests a hand on the hilt of his weapon, he feels the bag contianing the two rather large diamonds he's recieved*
Hrmm..I still have ot make my way to a jeweler about getting those cut and such...I wonder where everyone is...

Random side note: I just noticed, anything we had posted on thise theard after a couple of post ago is now gone! Is this due to switching over to a different server?

Lesson for the Day: Don't double-post.

*bows head in submission* Yes, ma'am...

*is mopping up floor as CO walks in*
What's up.

CO:We are finished, sir.

Great. Now can you tell me why I've been mopping up the floor the entire time? And where are the men I was working with?

CO: Right this way... *points to a door. falling walks to it, but doesn't notice the kunai the CO have*

Aren't you coming? *CO throws dozens of kunai* ! *falling can't evade and gets nailed by the on-coming shower* ARGH

CO: Those men are dead, they were too weak. And I cannot follow you. I must begin my conquest of this nation, begin my own KINGDOM, and conquer the rest of the world! Bwahahahahahaha...

You overambious bastard. *reaches for sword, but hand seems to be petrified* I see you stole something of mine. You're not that bad.

CO:Then you know you will be a petrified mass of flesh soon. No matter. I shall study you later. Then I will hand you over to them for further inspection.

So you made a pact with the Homuniculi. *touches headset with other petrified hand* All men... *static*

CO: You can't reach them. I'm jamming you signal to your loyal troops. *changes frequency on headset* Attention men. Eliminate all those who refused to join our ranks immediately. *a battle ensues beneath* Now I shall be on my way. Oh, almost forgot. *walks to falling* The Homuniculi saw you enter this world from the other side. How did you do it?

What the hell do you mean? I have no clue how I got here... ! Wait! You know about Earth? What are planning!?

CO: You don't know? Pity. I'll learn that from you later. *picks falling up, pins him to wall, followed by a red spark. falling's hands and feet sink into the wall*

(Is that a Philosipher's Stone!?) You know I'm not gonna hang around here and watch you make history.

CO: You won't. Your body will. It would be a waste to see that wasted. *looks at falling queer* Sayonara, my dear mercenary fool. *starts laughing again and walks out then seals doors, pulls out disc recorder* The fool from the other side of the Gate refuses to reveal his methods. More research will be done later.

I didn't take this alias for nothing... *yellow spark. falling falls off the wall, kunai dig deeper into his flesh* Gahh... ugh. Now then, how do I get outta here...

@Hito: So much for your report of me conquering another country.

*Nasser walks into the room and, transforms himself into Alphonse and starts to walk around like a zombie*

"Gaaaahh! I'm am the cursed....farmer!!! I mean I mean Armor!"

*Nasser continue to walk back and forth like a zombie*

People... puh-leaase!

*looks around after a while and transforms back to normal*

*begins to look at BBA*

"What you can't take a cute joke!"

Don't even try to tell me what's cute...

*transforms into a tiny puppy and then gives her the puppy dog look*

"Bark!"

Pardon Royal family while I post my opinion to the 'cute' one...

This is the Royal Thread of Queendom for a reason. Respect it or disappear and do not tresspass within it. ::Rp'er instincts on over drive::

My humble appologies to the Royal family for my intrusion... I'll leave...

*pats Corn on shoulder* Well done! We could use someone like you around here...

*glomps Nasser's pupp* 0_0

*spots corngirl and promptly walks to her* It seems we have a guest in the castle. Please make yourself at home, you mustn't leave yet. We were just about to handout persimmon baskets to everyone. You must have one. The trees were planted especially by me. You must stay and see/taste the fruits of my labor. Pun intended. ^^ *shows her a chair and commands forces allows her to stay*

Well, with persimmons and compliments (not forgetting the force/command), who could resist! Persimmons are so very tasty... ^^

*rubs hands together* Ahhh, yes... the evil, I mean, lovely persimmons...

Now all we need is a title for this newcomer. Ne, nee-san?

*feels left out and transform back into original form then walks to the corner of the room with tears and a dark aura around him*

"I would like one too" *he mermirs sobbing*

*thinks*... ... hrmmmm...

Ah, the good Marchioness Corn...

Marchioness Corn...? Sounds spiffing highness! Thank you kindly! ::bows::

*presents Corn Girl with a sash* With this, I invest in thee the title of Marchioness...

*CONFETTI!!!!!!!!*

And confetti as well! I /am/ honored! ::is a big fan of anything confetti::

::accepts sash with a goofy grin and a bow::
