While it's just lovely to make your acquaintance, shouldn't you be concerned about my similarity to that...how did you put it, 'other smartass magical scientist'? What an impressively coarse manner of speaking.

[there is a nearly tangible amount of sarcasm all over this post.]

No? Not even a bit of concern? Ah, to be young and energetic again. How wonderful. But let's try not to let ourselves sit idly for too long, shall we? I do have rather important things to be doing.

And no, 'babysitting Peony' is not one of them, but your concern for His Highness is noted.

So few people appreciate the value of hard work. [and being a mad scientist.] It's depressing, really.

I bet you cry yourself to sleep sometimes, [said with the slightest of smirks.] But speaking of work, just what does Emperor Peony plan on doing with two bags full of rappig toys?

[nekromanteia]

That's a secret matter likely concerning only the highest Malkuthian military officers.

[Pause.]

The less you know, the better off you are.

[an echoing sigh of 'goddamnit, peony.'] The rappigs might as well be heirs by this point. Maybe the one named after you will get to be emperor one day.

I can't begin to imagine a higher honor.

Emperor Jade the First!

And his likely successor, Emperor Oh No I Forgot This One's Name the First.

The very beginnings of a great dynasty.
