3rd Royal Decree

[solarhussyalert]

Action: School

[Lym is at school, and completely overwhelmed, sure its only elementary school but there are so many people. You can see her in class trying to pay attention, unless you are trying to explain that democracy is the best system out there, you may get a fight there. Or at least nonparliamentary styled versions. Or you may find her being less than impressed in her other classes.]

Action: Downtown

[Lym is window shopping, looking around and letting out a breath]

Nothing looks right. Is everyone in this town supposed to dress like a Barrows?

Phone:

Um. This is Lymsleia and I was told that this talking thing would be a good solution. Is there anything not boring to do here? Anything at all?

Action: 747 Partridge Drive

[Lym is in the basement this evening, staring at the bust with the sun rune that she's thrown 3 table cloths, a blanket and anything else she can over it with an irritated look on her face]

One of the political families back home. They were kind of slimy and kind of involved with Armes. Though... I guess its better than courting Harmonia like the Godwins did. But still! They were kind of creepy!

[queentocratic.livejournal.com]

... You know the Godwins and Armes too. [...] Are you perhaps one of the Falenans Caesar mentioned?

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

I'm the Queen of Felena... Why?

[queentocratic.livejournal.com]

... Pardon? [Wait, what?]

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

I'm Lymsleia Felenas... Queen of the Queendom of Felenas... Why?

[queentocratic.livejournal.com]

But... you're a child. [Surprise, maybe some doubt. No, she heard that they did have a young queen before, but that wasn't exactly a compelling enough reason to believe her words on the spot.]

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

Do you WANT me to get the Sun rune out?! Its in my basement! And... I'm 12...

[queentocratic.livejournal.com]

[She chuckles.] Your Majesty, then. But really, don't take offense to it. You don't expect me to believe it every time someone says they're royalty, right? [She doesn't believe.]

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

I get the feeling you don't believe me now.

[She crosses her arms]

But whatever, I don't care. Its not like it matters here. Even if I do have a bunch of the Queen's knights here.

[queentocratic.livejournal.com]

[Odd child.] Even the Queen's Knights are here?

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

Some of them are, the prince is here too! You'd probably believe him though cause he actually WEARS his rune.

[queentocratic.livejournal.com]

[Huh.] You're pretty open to just telling information to others, aren't you?

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

What does it matter here? Everyone has a million and one dumb powers to throw around.

[queentocratic.livejournal.com]

[Hrm.] Wouldn't you say the same thing about runes where we're from?

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

[She shakes her head]

Not like I've seen here. I mean I've seen how scary a true rune is, but that's... Focused and not personal. Here... There are just a lot of messed up people.

[queentocratic.livejournal.com]

[...?] Define 'messed-up'?

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

When I first got here, the first day, for a week some weirdo was poisoning the milk and forcing people to drink it or they'd get turned into horrible killing machines. Then someone caused a bunch of zombies to show up. And that's just in the time I've been here which hasn't been long!

[...]

I'd say you're kidding, but I've heard that story enough times to believe it.

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

Why would I kid about something that's not funny? That's stupid!

[queentocratic.livejournal.com]

Meet as many people as I have and you'd be surprised at the number of ridiculous, and dangerous, stories they like to lie about.

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

I dunno, I was always taught that lying just made things harder.

[queentocratic.livejournal.com]

And it does. Your parents taught you well!

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

That and the senate. All the posturing and lying to ultimately accomplish nothing. It gives me headaches just thinking about it!

[queentocratic.livejournal.com]

[Huh.] Not one to hold back your opinion, are you? Never seen quite an honest kid before.

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

Why would I have to? Well here maybe, but back home if something is dumb and you're in charge, its best to say that. Right?

I mean I don't wanna be like the guy in charge of Harmonia and just leave everything up to other people while I'm all vanished and mysterious.
