[reluctant_king]

Dear Mundane,

I do appreciate your interest in me and I did when you first expressed it, but now is definitely not the time to be thinking of taking me to a game. I have lost my sister, my crown, my kingdom, the respect and faith of my people, and now I must hide in the shadows to help protect my family from that madman.

And it is now of all times you want to send me off to some new world where I have to fight to return home? You are insane. I refuse. I don't care if you think it will "motivate" me. I won't rest until I find a way home if you do this. I need to see this through.

I am the rightful King. I may not want that crown, but I won't allow anyone with selfish intentions to wear it. I know I may not be a good King, I doubt myself enough for everyone, but I will not allow it's power and my people to be used as some pieces in some madman's game. Him and that traitor will not get away with this and I'm not leaving until matters are settled at home. Push that thought out of your mind. Now.

Signed,

King Elias Acorn

Eee, Elias

[waypastcool]

Whoa, whoa, wait. Did you just say "Acorn"?

[Now this is interesting. Veeery interesting.]

Re: Eee, Elias

[reluctant_king]

Yes I did...

[Give him a moment.]

Sonic?

[waypastcool]

Yep, that's me!

[He smirks. Maybe this guy's some distant relative of Sally's. It'd explain the name.]

[reluctant_king]

You seem...much younger than the Sonic I know.

Where and when are you from?

[Oh Sonic. Wait till you learn the truth.]

[waypastcool]

Well, me and the Freedom Fighters just trashed Robuttnik's Doomsday Project. As for where... Mobius. Where else?

[reluctant_king]

I see...

Then you must be a younger version of the Sonic I know. Makes about as much sense as anything else here.

[futuretense]

King Acorn? [ He scratches his head, trying to think back. ] You're the father of Sally Acorn?

[reluctant_king]

What?! [He quickly shakes his head.] No! I'm Sally Acorn's brother.

[futuretense]

[ Silver makes a face of concern and mutters to himself. ] I was afraid of that. The Acorn line can't lose their Kingdom. ...It has to be the fault of that traitor, I'm sure of it.

Is there anything I can do to help?

[reluctant_king]

I wish.

Though I cannot do anything against the will of the people. It is their will that the Wizard now has my crown.

This is something I must do.

What is this about a traitor you spoke of?

[futuretense]

There's a traitor within the Freedom Fighters that have been trying to dismantle the monarchy. That's all I know.

But you can't let them succeed. If it's a matter the will of the people, well, then we'll just have to change their minds back to the way it was before!

[reluctant_king]

...A traitor trying to dismantle the monarchy? It has to be Geoffrey St. John. It was his doing that Ixis Naugus took my crown. There may be more to his treachery than we thought...

I will change the minds of the people and show them all the evil Ixis and Geoffrey truly are.
