You can stop this from being released, can't you? I refuse to be defamed in such a manner!

[... threatening to kill you, dissolving your empire and leaving you economically weak wasn't enough? This is where you draw the line?]

This is a travesty! The rest of the world will think my Boss is.... weird!

[... they already think he's weird, Brit...]

[countryofassholes]

Do something.

[sob]

[veepofchess]

I'm afraid this is in the hands of someone with greater power than my own.

[countryofassholes]

[150+ years of struggling to make herself the greatest world power this planet has ever seen... and this is how it ends.]

... this never would have happened if you'd continued the war campaign. [Sullen? You bet your ass.]

[veepofchess]

There's more important things than wars and pride.

[countryofassholes]

And apparently personal dignity. If you were the Emperor of Earth, nobody would have the audacity to put you in... [she struggles for a minute] thigh-high stockings!

[Thigh high stockings!!]

[veepofchess]

If you must know, that particular event went flawlessly. Because I made it happen. [How modest. The Emperor can wear stockings if he likes.]

[countryofassholes]

[THE EMPEROR CANNOT WEAR STOCKINGS IF HE LIKES. THINK OF YOUR COUNTRY.]

If you consider leaving more turmoil in the wake of your rule than I've experienced in over 100 years "flawless."

[... wait. This is Lelouch. He probably does. DAMMIT SHE CAN'T WIN.]

[veepofchess]

[And the Knights of Rounds don't look ridiculous?]

You're in good hands. The world that I created had no place for a demon like myself in it. Nunnally and Zero will treat you well.

[countryofassholes]

[... I plead the fifth. ... which doesn't exist in our world. CRAP.]

Don't. [She hates the feeling those thoughts evoke. The knowledge of the fact that people such as Lelouch exist. He was powerful, cunning yet chose suicide for the greater good. It goes against everything she believed in since the christening of Ricardo von Britannia. And it... hurts.] I would have done better with a "demon" like yourself leading me.

Now I'm weak and pitiable. It's irritating. [... but she can't deny the part about Nunally. She really does love Nunally. ;w;]

[veepofchess]

There are different kinds of strength. The time has come for you to learn a new one.

[countryofassholes]

[Of course he would challenge her. Immediately her pride as an adapter- as someone who survives all things by changing to meet the situation- rises up and she scowls.]

... you're so annoying. [Which is pretty much an admission of defeat.] And we're off topic.

[veepofchess]

[He'll leave his point be there then.]

You're welcome.

Yes, I believe you were objecting to a costume I wore but for a few hours.

[andnowisee]

[She giggles.]

I don't know, I don't think it looks bad on him.

[countryofassholes]

... isn't that worse? [Nunnally please don't encourage this sob]

[andnowisee]

How so?

[Hey, she never got to see Luluko, let her have this.]

[countryofassholes]

[... please don't bring up that nickname. Britannia might just outright bury her head in the ground. Luluko indeed.]

If he looks more at home in such clothes, it's more... [pitiable? awkward? questionable?] ... odd, than if he did not. One doesn't really expect a man [and she uses the word lightly] to wear those kinds of clothes so well.

[andnowisee]

It is my brother. Surly you realize that there is a reason that Milly liked doing those sort of things to him.

[countryofassholes]

[Why would Milly enjoy dressing a man up as a woman? Britannia thinks about it.

And thinks some more.

And thinks-] ... forgive my ignorance, Empress, but I think that concept is beyond me. [To make him freak out? But he apparently likes doing it so that's not possible. Perhaps she's a dominatrix and enjoys demeaning the object of her affection. If so, that's an even scarier world that Britannia doesn't want to consider. I mean sure, she cross-dresses, but that's because a long time ago women were not permitted the privileges and respect men were. It made sense for her to adopt a male facade if she wanted to keep standing next to her people on the frontlines.

This is illogical!!!]

[andnowisee]

[Nunnally just goes with the idea that it's Milly Ashford and leaves it at that. Because honestly, that's the only answer she's ever really come up with.]

I fear the only answer I can give you is that it's Milly. Even as a friend, I believe the only person who truly understands the things that she does is herself.

[countryofassholes]

She sounds troublesome. [A pause, then another sigh.] But I suppose you seem entertained by her antics, so I won't pursue it.

[andnowisee]

I'm certain my brother believed that to be the case.

[She pauses for a moment to consider.]

It allowed us to forget the world at large for a few moments.

[countryofassholes]

Why would you wish to forget about the world?

[Answer: you.]

[britannicide]

What...the actual hell--?!

[Please tell him that's not what he thinks it is.

Not a good icon for his face right now. There is no good icon for his face right now.]

[countryofassholes]

Aptly put. Please, just as succinctly, explain.

[That is exactly what he thinks it is. If she were more open to exploiting this for possible hilarity, she'd also mention how he seems to be wearing a dress with stockings. Alas, this isn't comedy- it's damage control.]
