Giving in and voicetesting sob

[thepowerof]

Lady Mundane, I do not understand. What is the purpose of this realm? For what reason must you test your voice?

... Ah, a thousand pardons. However I see no reason for you to test my voice, either. You already have the Man of Iron as a companion and I have other battles to fight. Back home. Battles for which I need my voice. I cannot spare it for such trivial matters as playing with dinner.

[Even if Thor really doesn't see what playing with rolls has to do with the voice]

Allow me to pass, and we shall speak on this another time.

I do not know the tale of Red Riding Hood. Is she a warrior of your realm?

[canfindrope]

...Sort of. Eventually? At least that's what they keep telling me...

[thepowerof]

I would like to hear of her! Do you know any of her songs? Or perhaps know of a mural painted in her honor?

[He has a red cape too, bro. It's like a tale of his would-be warrior sister.]

[canfindrope]

It's... supposed to be me. I guess. [Note the red cloak she nervously clutches about her.]

Apparently I start fighting the Queen; or something....

[thepowerof]

And these are stories of your future?

[He looks thoughtful, for a moment]

Is the Queen an oppressor? Someone evil, perhaps?

[canfindrope]

Regina. She killed the king; and she tried to cut out Snow's heart...

[thepowerof]

A being capable of such horrors is not fit in mind nor spirit to rule.

[He says so with conviction, as well as the faintest edge of anger]

A selfish heart set only on ruling knows not the true point of it.

[canfindrope]

I think she just doesn't like snow...

[thepowerof]

A ruler must put aside their own dislikes should they assume the throne. There is no place for petty disagreements when one has an entire kingdom to care for.

[This is one of his buttons. One thing that drags against him. For it's the very thing that had him cast out, sent to Earth and stripped of his weapon, his power. All to learn the very lesson this Queen seems to have never learned.

He weeps for her kingdom, and wonders how it suffers due to her selfishness.]

[canfindrope]

[Quite badly - or at least among the individuals that reach her ire; the rest seem... mostly ignored.]

I wish someone would tell her that...

[thepowerof]

Perhaps that is the act of which the future people sing. A feat worthy of song does not always have to be one of violence. [It's something he's had to learn]

[canfindrope]

Telling her? [She's pretty sure they chase her out of the kingdom at sword point after viciously killing and occasionally eating her guards, but...]
