homeless for now

[thetyrant]

And now that you have me here, what do you intend to do with me? I won't be mewling like certain fools about the things left unfinished in Albion -- I know that time stops in my absence. But as I seem to be here for the foreseeable future, I want to know what you intend.

Allow me to make this clear: there will be nothing I do not consent to.

But I may be persuaded to a great many things, now that I do not have a country to defend.

[So basically you're taking this as a vacation and you're happy with it.]

More or less.

[/cackle]

Mm, I've heard of that sound from the others here in this space. You are not as frightening, nor trollish, as you think you are.

Comments

[hissorcerer]

You think that now. But I assure you, they are capable of atrocities the likes of which you've scarcely dreamed.

[thetyrant]

You don't know how dark I can dream.

[hissorcerer]

Clearly. Though as you're new at this, I'll allow you a while to judge for yourself.

[thetyrant]

That's the only way a king should be judging.

Allow me to introduce myself. King Logan, of Albion. [He puts an arm across his stomach, as if to bow, but only inclines his head.]

[hissorcerer]

Hallwil Phropt. A pleasure to meet you.

[If Logan is expecting anything more than an insincere smile from this troll, he has another thing coming to him.]

[thetyrant]

[He's used to being hated. He doesn't even notice.]

Likewise.

[hissorcerer]

[It's not so much hatred as it is blatant disregard for authority. Because really, what's the best thing to do after you've met a prince? Fuck him. Repeatedly.]

In any case, you'd be served better by disregarding that "consent" nonsense. They don't pay it much heed.

[thetyrant]

There are ways to enforce it, in certain situations.

[hissorcerer]

Such idealism. It's refreshing, in a way.

[thetyrant]

Not idealism. Observation of my fellows.

[sharnsgreatestinquisitive]

I think they like collecting. They're like magpies with the attention spans of kittens.

[thetyrant]

I'd say that's accurate, from what I've seen so far.

[sharnsgreatestinquisitive]

I've been here for months now and I've been promised a game. The duck duck goose one? I don't remember. It would have allowed me to share my adventures and brilliance with other people all over the planes. Do I get it?

No. I'm sitting around kicking my heels and watching the others get face time.

Why? Because the attention span has wandered off to something else shinier. [Is insulted.]

If you're lucky, you'll probably get that, from what I hear.

[thetyrant]

[He just listens, silently forming his opinions of this person. They are not positive, but he looks perfectly neutral.]

This one has made no promises, as of yet.

[sharnsgreatestinquisitive]

Don't listen to them, if they do.

[Pish tosh. He's perfectly wonderful and everyone loves him.]

[thetyrant]

I'll bear it in mind.

[decrees]

I suggest avoiding any of their "games." They certainly have a way of finding your worst nightmares and making them real.

[...Logan that was a Pokemon, not the Crawler, will you calm down?]

CACKLING SO MUCH I CAN'T

[thetyrant]

[His mind goes directly to the same place -- the Crawler. The darkness.]

I see.

And...this? [Gesturing between himself and...himself.] Is meeting oneself a common thing?

LET'S FACE IT, THERE CAN NEVER BE ENOUGH LOGANS <3

[decrees]

[Well to be fair, it totally looked like one of the Children in the dark. ...And then Reaver caught it and in the daylight... well...]

I'm not sure. I've never met another version of myself. My... ah, mundane has several alternatives of other characters, however. Duplicates appear to be a relatively common thing.

and he totally would lose his shit at a pokemon in the dark that is perfect

[thetyrant]

I'm told they very much enjoy making our lives painful.

His luck is terrible.

[decrees]

[Seriously, he keeps showing up in cities that get attacked. :| ]

Indeed they do. I've been taken from Albion and placed within a criminal organization that operates in a world known as "Johto." There is no escape until the world decides to send me back.

[...]

...And Reaver's there.

[AS IF THINGS COULDN'T GET ANY WORSE...]

[thetyrant]

[The smallest sympathetic wince.]

And our sister [or brother but for some reason mun really only hears about princesses being played?], the revolutionary? Or her fellow radicals?

[decrees]

[Oh don't worry, she's always a girl in this mun's head.]

Thankfully she hasn't been dragged to this world. I've heard that Page will be showing up shortly, however. Reaver's... butler is also there.

[Is that what Barry is? They seem a bit too familiar for that...]

[thetyrant]

[Tone utterly dry:] He has a butler? [Logan tries very hard to ignore Reaver as much as possible; he's just very good at bringing in the desperately-needed gold.]

[decrees]

He does. From what I've seen he seems... decent.

[Oh Logan, you have no idea. You're going to regret saying that.]

[thetyrant]

Mm. I'd expect any associate of Reaver's to be no trouble, at the least.

...i was literally considering picking up logan this morning omfg

[whitescientist]

from royalty to apparent royalty i can tell you it probably aint gonna equate to a holiday

its more like a kidnappin to be fair an dont get me started on the games mental or otherwwise

[He carries himself like a prince, at least. But boy does he sound whiny.]

[thetyrant]

So they tell me.

Can never have enough Logans!

[teach_me_to_be_a_hero]

You've been kidnapped...again?

[thetyrant]

[eyebrow.] Is it not the first time?

[teach_me_to_be_a_hero]

Well I'm assuming different point in your timeline, different mun? I've seen quite a few of you around.

[thetyrant]

So I have seen. This mun claims never to have heard of... [Pause while he decides how to put this, words always careful and measured.] Another version of myself among these games.

[teach_me_to_be_a_hero]

I saw one quite a while back that had a brother instead of a sister. It was quite strange.

[thetyrant]

[Eyebrow.] I can only imagine what a terror you would have been as a boy.

[Was that...a joke? Possibly even affection? Who can ever really tell with Logan.]

[teach_me_to_be_a_hero]

[Slight eyebrow as well.] Wasn't I already a terror?

[With their relationship in tatters, who can ever really tell?]

[thetyrant]

And more. But boys are bigger and more rambunctious. Then again, I suppose I'd have been able to hit you back.

[teach_me_to_be_a_hero]

Perhaps you could of. I'm not entirely sure how Jasper or Walter would have reacted to that, regardless of if I was a boy or not.

[thetyrant]

It can't have been as bad as they did when you were a girl.

[Is it possible that he is slightly almost smiling?]

[teach_me_to_be_a_hero]

They weren't that bad. Well Jasper always was in a state when I was busy climbing trees or playing in dirt after being dressed.

[Nostalgia FTW.]

[thetyrant]

I remember. Mother indulged you.
