hilarious (to mun) and annoying (to mickey) repetition

[takesyoubytheheart]

C'mon! How hard is it for people ta believe I'm a King?!

That's gotta be the third guy who didn't believe me when I told 'em!

Why can't a mouse be a king?

[ophiovacca]

Well~ most "mice" that I've seen aren't very good at speaking. [she circles around him, investigating him curiously.] ... or standing on two legs... or, I'd imagine, running a kingdom~

[takesyoubytheheart]

But there's a million different kinds a' people and things out there. I shouldn't be so hard ta believe.

[ophiovacca]

[awww. poor thing must get that a lot to be so sad about this. she kneels so that she can smile at him.]

How true~ it takes all kinds, I guess. Then again... you may be surprised by the things that people will belittle you for.

[takesyoubytheheart]

[N-Not sad! Just... peeved. *poutpout*]

I guess so... and I shouldn't let somethin' like this get ta me... but it happened so much in one day!

[ophiovacca]

That must be hard. Well, for what it's worth... I believe you. After all, I've seen far stranger things~

[takesyoubytheheart]

Aw, thanks! That really helps.

[ophiovacca]

[a fanged grin.]

I'm Regina, by the way... pleased to meet you.

[takesyoubytheheart]

Mickey Mouse! It's nice ta meet ya too.

[ophiovacca]

It's not every day that I get to meet royalty. Well-- ... [she thinks about that for a second, a hint of maroon touching her cheeks.] Maybe it is a little more often than I'd guessed. But-- well, but I hadn't expected to meet someone from a kingdom besides my own.

[takesyoubytheheart]

Well now that yer out here, ya never know who or what yer gunna meet.

[ophiovacca]

That's true! I've met a lot of the humans already, and a few things that looked like the humans, but they weren't at all.

[takesyoubytheheart]

That's why ya can't judge a book by it's cover.

[ophiovacca]

How wise~ you must be a great king. What's your kingdom like?

[takesyoubytheheart]

It's great! The Disney Kingdom is always full of kind and happy people, and we make sure ta make every day a good day.

[ophiovacca]

[something in her expression is legitimately surprised.]

Everyone is kind and happy...?

[takesyoubytheheart]

Everyone tries ta be that way. We all learn ta work together for the sake of our kingdom.

[ophiovacca]

... if only every kingdom worked that way. Well, I guess it's a moot point, now that the one I was hatched into is gone.

[chiefdoubletap]

I don't know. [ Wynn frowns. ] That seems like a rather species-ist attitude for people to have in this day and age.

What planet are you king of?

[takesyoubytheheart]

The Disney Kingdom! And time means nothin', respect should be in every age.

[chiefdoubletap]

Disney... I can't say I've heard of it. Are you a member of the Galactic Alliance?

But I agree -- such prejudices are why I'm glad I wasn't around when the old Empire was in power.

[takesyoubytheheart]

Um... considerin' I ain't ever heard of this Alliance, I'd have ta sa no.

[chiefdoubletap]

Oh, interesting... Once a decade or so, a planet turns up that's managed to avoid any previous scouts, but I never thought I'd meet one of their inhabitants for myself. And you're the King, you say? Ah - I'm interim Chief of State of the Galactic Alliance, Wynn Dorvan; a pleasure to meet you, sir!

[hahahailtotheking]

... Honestly, I'm more surprised by all the people who recognize me. After all master Yen Sid taught us about keepin' a low profile, havin' everyone and their mother know who I am is... kinda weird.

[takesyoubytheheart]

I'll say. Makes ya wonder if there's any point ta keepin' the 'other worlds' secret a secret anymore.

[hahahailtotheking]

At this point, I'm honestly havin' my doubts.

Still, I can't say I've met many who didn't think I could be king... of course, that might depend on what kinda game and what kinda people we're talkin' about.

[takesyoubytheheart]

So far, it's just been two trolls, and a giant alien duck. I'd say they have no imaginations.

[hahahailtotheking]

... Ha ha, can't say I've heard about the duck before, but trolls? Now those guys I'm familiar with, and I can't say I'm surprised they disbelieve us.

[takesyoubytheheart]

It's even worse, 'cause all of their swearin' keeps gettin' Minnie riled up...

[hahahailtotheking]

... Oh. Oh, ya mean ya got a Minnie with ya in yer game?

[bunnyperspective]

It isn't so much you're a mouse...

It's that you're Mickey Mouse.

[takesyoubytheheart]

[huffff.]

So?

[bunnyperspective]

Would you think you were a king if you met you?

[takesyoubytheheart]

[... Looks at above thread.]

Yes?

[madcuriosity]

I believe you're the king.

[takesyoubytheheart]

Aw, thanks!

[madcuriosity]

And a mouse can be a king! I've met all sorts of curious creatures so why couldn't a mouse be a king. Besides, in the Nutcracker it has a rat as a king!

[takesyoubytheheart]

That's the right idea! There's all kinds of amazin' and different things out there, so we should be able ta believe more things.

[... Wry little smile at the Nutcracker.]

... Funny enough, Alice, I've seen a version of me where I'm the Nutcracker.

[madcuriosity]

You weren't the rat king were you? You were the Nutcracker right? With Queen Minnie as Clara?

[takesyoubytheheart]

That's right! Shucks, my mun has seen two versions of the same idea - and both times, Minnie's Clara, and I'm the Nutcracker.

[He grins, unable to resist this tease. Keep in mind this is hilariously true.]

... And Donald is the Rat King in one of 'em.

[madcuriosity]

[She giggles.]

Poor Mr. Donald.

[takesyoubytheheart]

I'll say! The narrator even lied ta him in order ta make him keep playin' along. No one knows bad luck like Donald Duck.

[madcuriosity]

Poor Mr. Donald! How can he have such horrible luck?

[seasidememories]

How rude! I bet they're just jealous.

[takesyoubytheheart]

Ha ha, ya think so?

[philip_charming]

I've never seen why others find it so difficult to understand, your Majesty. 'How can a mouse be a king, why would you bend your knee to a mouse?'

Really, the only answer there could be is "It's King Mickey. How could I possibly not?"
