Canon is 'Gunka no Baltzar'

[twitchyprince]

This is as far as you have thought this through? That's a poor performance, mundane, a poor one. And I won't even mention that doing this, bringing me here, has been on your mind for months already. So stop blaming those friends of yours just for nudging you the last few steps.

But do you truly think this is sufficient? Let me tell you: It's not. This absurdity you decided to use as username and the way you labeled my icons are plain insulting! My brother may be amused by this, but I certainly am not! Speaking of which, you better hope I don't run into him here. Even if you say that it's unlikely, what reason do I have yet to trust those words?

As for now you better make this worth my while. I'm a busy man and will not hesitate to punish you dare you end up wasting my time!

Poor performances always pave the way for improvement, Your Highness. [Just sayin'.]

And at least your username's original, right? I mean, like, not just your name and one of your titles(and not even the good one!) [pointed look at the coughing fourth wall]

[twitchyprince]

The possibility for improvement still requires the existence of understanding and the acceptance of one's own fault, Major Baltzar! [Don't you start lecturing him again.]

It's hardly original when it's harboring an insult. Using just someone's name and title is perfectly fine!

[beraterbaltzar]

What, aren't you happy to have an account and get some fresh air? Forgive me for not seeing the problem here.

Sure, it's acceptable, but it doesn't say much about me! I could think of a better username than this! I bet you could, too! And you are a little twitchy sometimes.

[twitchyprince]

...tch. [Did he ever mention how much he hates when you just make sense like this?]

Fine. What kind of username would you have chosen for yourself, then? [Answer quickly. You just called him twitchy and he may decide that he did hear that after all.]

[beraterbaltzar]

[No, but he can see it in your eyes.]

Hm? Something cool or interesting or at least descriptive. Hated Soldier, maybe. I think you'd like Empty Idealist? Or something similar--I certainly won't deny being an idealist, though I'm sure I've proved "empty" to be false.

[twitchyprince]

[Darn you.]

Wayward Strategist seems fairly fitting as well, if you ask me. Though I will not disagree with the idealist either. But as it seems there is nothing we can do anymore about these titles we have been assigned with. Unfortunately...

[beraterbaltzar]

Hey, hey, I'm not wayward, I'm very reasonable! But that isn't bad, either.
Alright, you made me pick a name, now you do it, too, your highness! [Though he still thinks yours is pretty fitting.]

[twitchyprince]

Reasonable... On second glance, perhaps. But most of the time you tend to be rather unpredictable, Major Baltzar.

What...

Normally I would refuse to do this, but I guess fair is fair, so... Royal Instructor. [And he's surprising no one.]

[beraterbaltzar]

Heh. I guess it's not such a bad thing. Being unpredictable is pretty useful on a battlefield.

. . . . .Pffff--
[He could've at least gone for something cool like Second Prince!] Alright, again, this time let's try using our creativity! Our imagination!! [He's getting too comfortable around you.]

[twitchyprince]

You're not always on a battlefield, howev--WHO DO YOU THINK YOU'RE LAUGHING AT?! [He... Notices. And he doesn't like just how comfortable you've been getting.] If you think this is a laughing matter, then prove that your idea is better!

Which I doubt.

[beraterbaltzar]

N--n-no, Your Highness, I wasn't--fff--[Hey at least he usually respects your personal space.] H-huh? My idea? You mean being creative? Well, your title and such goes in the box labeled Display Name, right? So you should have fun with the username! Besides, you've only got 25 characters--your whole title would be something like. . .Zweiterprinz Lehrer Rainer August Winkelfeld--which probably won't fit in the name box, either, in retrospect, but you can't just put the standard information twice! Your username should say something about you, don't you think? Without being. . .obvious?

[twitchyprince]

What are you-- It's Ausbilder Prinz Rainer August Winkelfeld! And it fits into the box without any problems as I made my mundane prove just now! Go and see for yourself, Major Baltzar!

A username can say something about me without insulting me, which is something a mundane should respect. Calling me twitchy has little to do with respect, however. And yet I am bound to simply accept this little pun, regardless how infuriating it is!

[beraterbaltzar]

D-don't yell at me because my mun doesn't know our language and chose the wrong word!! [Don't I at least get a gold "you tried" star?] Your name comes up in the notifications and on the reply page, I don't need to go anywhere! I can see it!

I really think you're taking the username situation a little too serious--wait, what pun?

[twitchyprince]

Would you prefer if I took it out on your mun directly? [Fourth Wall? Yepp. Right over there. But only as long as he allows it to be there. And you can have a gold star from his mun, but not him. He's... Picky. At least ha made his point: His name is not too long.]

...I'm not going to explain it any further. But my mundane shall be aware of the fact that I do not approve of his decision. Next time he may consider getting my permission first!

[beraterbaltzar]

If you think it'll do something, go ahead. [I have a star! ★! I am pleased. And fourth wall destruction is very dangerous. You never know how close the muns are standing! And who will clean up all the rubble!?]

Next time?
. . .he's gonna play you as a kid? [Doesn't understand how there could be a next time otherwise.]

[twitchyprince]

WHA-NO!! IF HE EVER SO MUCH AS CONSIDERS THAT I WILL- I will... NO! [Congratulations, he at least forgot about going after your mun. Don't say you didn't plan that. No one will believe you...]

[beraterbaltzar]

[FLINCH. What's gotten into him!? Unintended, strategic mun-defense successful!? He totally planned that.] O-of course, Your Highness!? I apologize!? [Not sure what just happened. Kind of shaken because wow you got awfully loud awfully fast. . . .]

oh gosh I need to reread the relevant sections at least two more times…

[redhairedreindeer]

That does seem to be a poor choice of username, Prince August.

::For now, he will make no other comment; instead waiting to see how you respond to his presence. Although he does make a brief, pointed glance at his own username. Almost as if to say, It could be worse.::

[twitchyprince]

Von Liebknecht...

[Yes, that's a perfectly growled version of your name right there. He doesn't really know if running into you here is worse or better than coming across his brother. Because he knows for sure that you will tell his brother, thanks a lot!]

You are one to talk, as I can see.

[Yes, he sees your username just as well and does not fancy sharing a boat with you. But there's this thing about acting civil...]

[redhairedreindeer]

::If he sees your brother first, he may. Of course, he first needs to consider how your presence here will affect his plans. Naturally, this could change things in Baselland, especially as he cannot guide the changes there if he is here. However, it appears that as both of his primary opponents are here… This does change things.::

You would think the mundane would have paused to consider how anachronistic my username is, since he cares greatly for historical accuracy.

::Yes, please be civil. He'd rather not be dragged around by his collar again.::

[twitchyprince]

[You're aware that no one would mind if you just stopped plotting for a moment?]

Maybe his historical accuracy knows its limits as well.

[No guarantee for that, sorry.]

[redhairedreindeer]

::He would mind terribly, though.::

I could understand being flexible if we were at least talking within a decade or two, but the story being referred to wasn't written until 1939.

::This is why he likes your brother better. Less violent. Well, that, and consider the source of his funding.::

[twitchyprince]

[Too bad.]

You checked?

[Pff. Not the most convincing reason.]

[redhairedreindeer]

Of course. You mean to say that you wouldn't have?

[twitchyprince]

Probably. If I had found myself in that sort of situation and with the necessary time at hand to do the research. Not all of us are blessed with as much boredom as yourself, Von Liebknecht.
