twenty-seven detention slips

[delincuente]

So since when did we have, like, royalty?

[Alex has just found her masquerade invitation, skimmed it, and has been side-eying it for the last few minutes. Paradisa has always been the castle without a king or queen, so this makes pretty much no sense.]

Because this whole Fall King thing sounds super sketch.

Dictated forever

[huffythedragon]

You know that Princess Luna is here, right? The 'princess' part means she's royalty.

[delincuente]

Yeah, but I mean like, royalty that is from here. Like Paradisa royalty.

[huffythedragon]

Oh...well. Did the spiders in the forest have a royalty?

[delincuente]

I don't know. I mean it's not like I asked or anything.

[huffythedragon]

Maybe they'd reply to a journal filter...

[delincuente]

... Do you think the spiders have journals?

[huffythedragon]

I don't know. It's worth a try, right?

[delincuente]

Yeah. For someone else maybe. Why don't you ask?

[huffythedragon]

I promised I wouldn't talk to those guys.

[delincuente]

Promised who?

[huffythedragon]

Twilight and the other ponies.

[delincuente]

And how many of them are actually around now?

[huffythedragon]

Only two now, Twilight and Princess Luna.

[delincuente]

And who said you had to listen to them? If you want to talk to a spider, you should talk to a spider.

[huffythedragon]

But they're supposed to be dangerous.

The Invitation Also Mentioned A Summer King Didnt It
I Didnt Detect The Presence Of A Seasonal Ruler In The Last Three Months So Maybe It Isnt Meant To Be Taken So Literally

[delincuente]

[Alex attempts to imitate Kanaya's voice - it comes out very snooty and fake-British.]

Well then madame, how would you take it?

[rainbowed]

[Needless to say, Kanaya's really confused as to why Alex is mocking her. Isn't this the same sweet girl with interesting taste in music that one time?]

Why Are You Doing That
Also Currently Im Not Paying Much Attention To That Portion Of The Invitation As Much As Im Focusing On The Idea Of Upcoming Festivities In The Castle
A Masquerade Ball
Its Exciting Dont You Think

[delincuente]

[She's still doing the voice.]

Doing what, gov'nah?

[She has a good laugh about this, and then finally drops it.]

What, am I supposed to be excited about putting on a stupid mask just to dance with a bunch of people I don't know?

[rainbowed]

Why Are You Mocking The Way That I Talk
Are You Undergoing A Temporary Loss Alex

[delincuente]

Because it's hilarious. And I'm pretty sure I'm not on a loss? I mean, I've only gotten one of those before.

[wishmadeinfire]

Well, many of us here are royalty in our own worlds, but as far as I know, you are correct, there has never been mention of an official nobility class within Paradisa.

[delincuente]

Yeah, this is pretty much, like, out of-

[... "Us"?]

Wait, so are you like a king or something?

[wishmadeinfire]

Hmm? Oh, yes. In my world I am the king of my people. I have been for a number of years, as was my father before me.

[delincuente]

Huh. What world's that?

[wishmadeinfire]

A world called Shurano, though so far no one has heard of it. Well, that is not true. I think the little princess did, but... she was here so long ago it is hard to remember now. Certainly no one from my world is present at the moment besides myself.

[delincuente]

Hm. I know that feel, dude.

[wishmadeinfire]

Dude? Heh, been a time since I was referred to as such.

[delincuente]

Yeah, well I don't think it's part of the Ye Olde vocab.

[wishmadeinfire]

'Ye Olde'? Do you think I am so ancient as to speak in the old tongues?

[delincuente]

Depends on what the "old tongues" are. That sounds kind of gross.

[wishmadeinfire]

Well, it is not, though admittedly it could get... colorful in some of the books.

[delincuente]

You mean like Ye Olde swear words?

[wishmadeinfire]

Heh, yes, that is precisely what I mean. Especially in the journals of sailors and soldiers. Being... polite was not their forte in their private writings.

[delincuente]

Well, they don't call it a sailor's mouth for nothing.

[ino]

Yeah, I'm kind of wondering that myself. But there are other castles out there, so who knows ...

[delincuente]

[Oh hey, that's actually kind of interesting.]

Other castles? Dude, I totally missed something.

[ino]

They've been on the map since forever. And there was some sort of myth in a book in that mirror world about there being five "original" castles.

[delincuente]

Woah... Do the other ones have people in them?

[ino]

We don't know.

[delincuente]

So no one's actually seen them. We're just guessing that based on some old-ass myth.

[ino]

Well, the "five castles" thing is a story of some kind, we're not sure about that. But there are definitely other castles marked on the map, and we had a photo of a different castle signed by one of the First Gens awhile back.

[delincuente]

That totally doesn't seem shady at all.
