[There is the tap of the quill, before she scrawling in immaculate handwriting;]


Greetings. I would, again, like to extend my most sincere gratitude in allowing myself and my daughter to find hospitality in this strange new place. While I admit that I was very much dubious of both the working of this world and perhaps your initial intent, know that my thanks very much ring true. I hope the future serves you well.

[And a turning of the page before she writes yet again!]

My lady, I write to you requesting the pleasure of your company this afternoon. Apologies if this note finds you in the midst of a preoccupied hour.

[Good morning, residents of Paradisa. Have a pleasant, yet domineering voice filling your journals. It is the sort of voice that is solid with presence and demands your attention, even in spite of its seemingly casual subject.]

Strange how there is such a grandiose castle as well as a flourishing town, yet there have been no record of a single true ruler or heir to said land. As I am sure you can gather from my tone, such a thing is an impossibility where I am from.

It is unthinkable to have a castle with no dedication to it, in the sense that a person is designated to make sure everyone around are doing their fair share. Though, surprisingly enough, it is quite the achievement that there is much-- [Hmm.] social agreement for lack of a governing force. Ah, aside from the magics of the castle itself.

Though, if there is... some semblance of order for which any of you would like my advisory skills... by all means, implore me. I've quite the experience under my belt. I'd hate for it to go to waste, considering how much like home this is.

[An awkward pause.] Again, barring the magics of the castle itself.

Fair share? In this place? That's a bloody laugh. But hey, I'm sure the Boy Scout Brigade will welcome that kind of thinking with open arms. They've been down on members lately.

[bearish]

[Wait. Give her a moment to decipher what you said because-- what is this slang? And why?]

We've a brigade policing the actions of the other residents? I've heard nothing about such a thing, save a few renegades.

[onlyanapple]

[It's always fun playing with the residents from earlier time periods. Oh yes]

It was some pop culture sarcasm for you. There used to be a Peace Patrol, but they threw their cards in a few months ago.

/dictated!

[cricketycricket]

Ah, hello again. How're you settling in?

Re: /dictated!

[bearish]

Relatively well, I must say. [You know, aside from the whole loss thing.]

[cricketycricket]

I'm quite glad to hear it. I don't suppose there's anything I could do to be of assistance?

[craggyfaced]

This is little place for people of our thinking here.

[bearish]

["Our thinking"... Oh, wonderful!]

I am beginning to realize that, to my admitted dismay. [Pause.] Might I ask the land from which you hail?

[craggyfaced]

The Dominion of Embarr. [A pause of his own] It is likely you've never heard of it.

Dictated forever

[imalwaysright]

This is like home to you? [Magic, castles... Oh!]

You're royalty? That's a new one.

[bearish]

That is accurate. I am the Queen of DunBroch-- which, sadly, does not seem to be a well heard of name within these walls.

[imalwaysright]

Sorry to disappoint, but I haven't heard of it either. Where is it?

[wintercat]

[And written back! Even if Cat's handwriting is not quite as immaculate. Damn the scars on her hands.]

The pleasure would be mine. [She's a little surprised, but not terribly. It has almost been like encountering someone from home.] What plans did you have, Your Grace?

<3

[bearish]

I'd very much like to keep the correspondence between a kindred spirit. Usually I've done so with simple letters, but considering the fact we are in such quarters, might I suggest conversations over a drink, perhaps?

[wintercat]

Of course. I would offer to host myself, but my daughter and her direwolf both share my quarters. Arya would be no trouble [...probably.], but her animal is not fond of strangers.

[takethat]

I've been wondering and kind of worrying about this for months, myself. You've hit the nail on the head. I'm just waiting for everything to fall apart one of these days.

[bearish]

Certainly there is a contingency plan for such an occurrence?

[takethat]

Not that I'm aware of, no. What we really need is a judicial system...

[doublethefun]

[and there's the familiar sound of a quill scratching against paper as she writes right back. The writing is a bit ornate and well, old-fashioned.]

Thou art very welcome, 'though 'twas hardly in need of thanks. After all, we all arrive in much the same manner. [i.e. in a state of confusion]

[bearish]

[She's going to wonder how you are even doing that, Luna. She is trying not to be rude, but in spite of her magical beliefs, the whole pony thing is weird! But she will accept.]

I must also extend an apology for allowing my confusion to offend, if that were the case at any point in time.

[doublethefun]

[it's magic! Literally.]

I am well aware of the peculiarity mine appearance presents. [to put it lightly] Suffice it to say that if I were to take offense at every instance of disbelief, I would have little time to spare for anything else I might wish to accomplish.

Of course, mine own reactions regarding the discovery of the existence of humans may have tempered mine responses somewhat.

[yup, humans are the weirdos here]

[He didn't... have much of a choice. He just happened to be in the wrong right place at the right time.

That, and he didn't expect to hear from her again, or even a thanks.]

I take it you and the little princess are settling in?

dictated!

[transferedfate]

[oh geez something about the way this lady talks makes Ringo want to sit up straighter]

Yeah, I guess the castle itself is kind of like its own government.

/pushes sokka down the stairs

[bearish]

You refer the building itself rather than the inhabitants as a whole?

he'll just cry gently on every step

[transferedfate]

Well... yeah. I mean, the castle is the only one who sets up rules that everyone has to follow, right?
