My Lady Mundane,

We have been here before, have we not? 

[there's a faint smirk] And yet, you persist. Well, there is merit in that I suppose. Though if we're really going about this again, I suggest you hold yourself with a little bit more decorum about it.

I don't care what my privateers do, getting drunk and posting with me is not appreciated. I deserve a little more dignity then that.

[Squinting at...

...Is that who he thinks...? More squinting...]

Well, fuck a duck.

[commandsthewind]

[Staring at you, sir.]

Excuse me?

[fuckinghateadrenaline]

[Stare all you want. Stuart cares none.]

You're actually her, right? Queen Elizabeth I? Elizabeth Tudor?

[Staaaaring right on back.]

I saw the portraits when I went to the Tower of London on a school trip.

[commandsthewind]

... I know of no other bearing my name in England to hold my position, though I assume from your addressing me as 'I' means there is another after me.

Unless you are talking of my grandmother, Elizabeth of York. But if not, then yes, I am Elizabeth Tudor, daughter of Henry Tudor and Anne Boleyn, Queen of England, Ireland and France.

[You know, you're lucky she's used to commoners staring at her, though they usually have the decency to bow.]

... Yes, the Tower. I don't know why my portraits would be there, it's just a fortress after all. [and she's made a point to never return to that place, ever.]

[fuckinghateadrenaline]

Yeah, I'm from the future. Your future. Several hundred years in your future.

Current throne-sitter is Queen Elizabeth II. Elizabeth Windsor.

[A pause.]

And the Tower of London is a Visitor's Centre now.

[commandsthewind]

... Several hundred years and the first expression that comes to mind upon seeing me is what you just said? My, my, the world has progressed. [She smirks a little and looks away.]

'Windsor'. [putting that to memory.]

Why would anyone want to visit such a place? [she almost shudders from that. It's awful, and it always will be awful to her. Because she spent so long waiting to die there.] Outside of... war and some other uses, it is not a pleasant place at all.

[fuckinghateadrenaline]

Oh, we shoved some sparkly things in there, removed the dead bodies and cleaned the place up, hung some tapestries and stuff.

Plus, it's the most secure place to store the Crown Jewels. Who'd want to try and break into one of the most secure Prisons in British history?

[commandsthewind]

I guess it would be, if it not houses those who are condemned any longer.

[pause]

And someone who wanted to die, clearly.

[fuckinghateadrenaline]

Oh, yeah, we abolished the death sentance.

[commandsthewind]

[staring, so much staring.]

Why on earth would you do that?

[some people were far too dangerous to live as far as she was concerned.]

[fuckinghateadrenaline]

Human Rights or some bollocks like that. I'm not a barrister.

[commandsthewind]

[Whut nao?]

I see. I suppose it would ensure some measure of safety I suppose.
