[on the very existence of his game]

[shadow_heirs]

Madame Mun,

I resent the implication that I'm not fully capable of finding my own mate, but thank you for the efforts you've put into all of this.

Most people get an ad made for them on eHarmony, you've taken the time to create a whole game revolving around the premise of finding me someone. Flattering, and I suppose it's an appropriately over-the-top solution for my royal dilemma, but...

If it's all the same to you, I'd rather we didn't.

I suppose it's not all the same to you, though. It never is.


His Royal Highness,
Prince Tristan of Dagaz

For what it's worth, mate? I'm with you.

[idolstolemylook]

I mean in a totally not with you at all sort of way. No offense, broody, but I'm spoken for.

[shadow_heirs]

[Have a righteously indignant royal stare, Spike]

I'm certain you must be mistaken.

I'm sure that some would find your affected Northern London accent charming, but you don't entirely seem royal consort material.

[idolstolemylook]

Mistaken that I'm spoken for? That's my business.

And I entirely agree. That was my point.

[shadow_heirs]

Mistaken that the you would be chosen as a suitable companion for myself, Lord Peroxide.

[idolstolemylook]

Didn't I just say I wouldn't be? We're on the same page, Your Ponciness.

[hackreality]

Sadists and meddlers, the lot of them, really. I imagine you agree, your Highnessness?

[shadow_heirs]

[Finally, someone with some sense.]

Sadistic. I can't imagine a better term for it myself.

[hackreality]

I mean, double for you, because while a lot of little girls dream to be a princess, I have to think being royalty kind of sucks IRL based on all the tabloid articles about Princess Kate.

[shadow_heirs]

IRL?

[oregoniandionysus]

Your family brought in that mathematician to help guide all us potential mates, right?

Sorry to say, she's not doing a very good job.

[shadow_heirs]

Casey?

Oh, she's mad as a hatter, sorry to say. Brilliant, but mad. Seems that's usually how it goes.

[oregoniandionysus]

You forgot 'not very helpful.' Although I don't know, maybe it's some meta thing. Keep us all in suspense until the Opportune Moment.

But hey, now I've got the man of the hour here himself, so I may as well ask the question that launched a thousand eHarmony accounts: what are you looking for in a mate?

[shadow_heirs]

[There is no hesitation:]

Kismet.
