a genie sucks, i'm sure you don't want to be a prisioner all your unfruitful life. Come join me instead, gas.

Ahh, yes. Thieves' cottage is also a nice place.

*slaps forhead* Ohhhh... Consarn it... Two'd've been less harder to choose over...

Whoooo hoo, Sir Mickey Elric kicking his own ass... ???

*settles on the throne* This I gotta see...

We need a royal blacksmith and a royal armorer...

...for the upcoming peasant revolt...

*returns once more to recap mode*

oh yes thieves early on spoke of revolution and attempted to have the queen restructure the queendom. she was given a hut on top of a mountain to protect her from the wrath of all that may hold it against her and the wrath of the suitors... incidentally the house is being watched by a team of ninja sent by me, the grand vizier...

and now as his first official act as royal flexer....

*Armstong walks in, tears off his shirt and flexes*

Armstrong: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WELCOME TO OUR QUEENDOM.... NOW LOOK UPON MY PERFECTLY SCULPTED MUSCLES....

*pink diamonds everywhere!!!!*

I guess we don't need a court psychic now either.

yes, we do need a blacksmith and armorer

but as for the revolt, come on we have a philosopher's stone now...

Duke Bacon, I ob-JECT! We do NOT wanna even think about that!

Is anyone here an assassin? I may have a use for one.

as disturbing as it is, it would be unwise on our part not to though

So you want us to meet the revolt unprepared? You do realize that in France when the peasants revolted, the princesses were all sent to the guillotine, right?

Can't run from your fears, your highness.

I'm an assassin.


I was about to mention that. It's not good to not think about the occurrences of one's country.

bacon, permit the princess what she will

Who said anything about not facing my fears, Lady Ambassador?

I train my ass off every day with that strict regimen given me by the Vizier...

I will have no fear provided I have a husband at my side...

[Scratch off what I said about not getting an amourer... ]

We could always order a Night of the Long Knives-style purge of political dissidents...

[The Chancellor rubs his hands together diabolically]

yes...now that i think about it i really do need a Royal Jewler too so i can have someone put this philosopher's stone on a necklace so i don't loose it....

and Duke Bacon i must protest such actions and further more prohibit them unless such evidence is found to support such a plan

But you're the Queen. If you were the assassin you'd be killing yourse-

I mean.. Sure!

*sighs...* Sooo then, on the royal agenda list:

- Get an Armorer

- Settle the peasants' revolt before it even has its genesis

- FORCE THE PRINCESS TO CHOOSE AN OFFICIAL FIANCE...

Should you not give that stone to me, dear Vizier?

Planning something, Ailuro?

WHAT THE QUEEN SAYS, GOES!!!!

Your highness is wise. The Chancellor would not trust a man such as the Vizier with such a powerful weapon...

Of COURSE not. What gave you that idea?

Which is why he'll be handing the stone over to me, just so I can make sure that it will not be used except for emergencies.

*hugs Ailuro* You're so discreet, it's adorable.

but my queen, the stone would be to bring you back in case of assassination. if you had it the assassin could easily steal it from your corpse....

and as for Ambassador Ailuro... well lets just say... don't

Oh, and the Queen should trust you?

So...exaclty what does it take to be a member of the court?

[The Chancellor is growing suspicious of the Vizier...]

captain ninja is available for assassinations, provided the assassin-ees aren't members of the royal family.

Ah no worries. I had someone else in mind anyway. The Queen is my sensei.

It's very nice that you are concerned for my potential death and rebirth, but I am an assassin myself. They cannot get to me so easily.

The Chancellor has sworn fealty... which is more than can be said for the Vizier.

Oh poot. Well, I'll mark you off my list.

But for some reason, I still trust the Vizier. But if a fealty must be sworn, then so be it.

i have proven to have only the queendom's best interests in mind, and by proxy the queen's. but were YOU not the one that almost created war in your attempts to either kill or tar and feather the young foreign prince, chancellor?

ADD-ON:

udon, what skills can you offer this court? appointments will be made accordingly...

We'll make you the ROYAL HEARLD!!!! *confetti*

My dear Duke Bacon, I believe your loyalty to my mother and her rule. But niether is the Vizier's fidelity to be questioned.

The Chancellor's actions were merely an attempt to protect the Princess from unknown foreigners. The Chancellor's intentions were pure.

I doubt your intentions are as pure as you say when I saw you in the garden the other night with a rope, staring at the Princess' balcony.

The Prince is an upstanding gentleman and of pure royal blood. He is above all such base suspicions, although I highly appreciate the Duke Chancellor's concerns for my personage.

-EDIT-

HE WAS WHAT!?????????

Perhaps they were indeed pure...but I still think you were jumping the gun there.

EDIT- Perhaps being the keyword.

may i also suggest that we appoint a Royal Confetti Maker, as the young princess seems to be running through that stuff rather fast nowadays

ADD-ON:

*kneels*

i am but at your command, my queen. if you wish for my head, you merely have to ask. all that i am is for the sake of this queendom.

Yay! A herald!

Um...what does a herald do aside from anouncing poeple?

EDIT: Yay, I'm also at the "Alchemists" level!

I think we should keep the word "pure" reserved only for talking about royal blood...

-EDIT-

Take care of the confetti, Herald Udon!!!

But technically, dear, you're not royal blood yourself, as you're adopted.

Hoo, boy. This changes things, doesn't it?

Of course we know that NOW. But at the time he was a newcomer to this Queendom, and thus subject to suspicion, and a background check.

my dear queen, let me take you away from these bickering children whining about fealty and such nonsense and let me remind you of your duty of constructing a successful queendom for your people as you have been selected by god to do. I do warn you, as Elizabeth I has done, trust none but thyself.

A background check?!!! Did the queen approve of that?!

*Takes a bow*

Your wish is my command, m'lady.

*Leaves and returns with a huge bag of confetti*

I also got some party baloons and noise makers. thought they'd be fun.

*covers eyes* Mom, let's no bring THAT up... we're complicated enough as is!

-EDIT-

BACKGROUND CHECK?!!!!!!!!!!! What in the name of King Richard the LionHeart is that for?!!?

yes but such duties are not for you to complete upon your own, chacellor. those duties are that of the guards, at the very least you should have announced your intentions to me before undertake such a task.
