My Dear Player,

I do believe it would be best for you to stop visiting that website. The authors there clearly have no understanding of French Government in the 17th Century nor my role within that structure. As such, it paints me in an entirely negative light without paying heed to the nuances that exist.

I am not a "villain". I simply want what is best for France and I have growing concerns that the King is taking too much advisement from the Musketeers rather than from me. After all, as First Minister, such matters fall under my jurisdiction and I have a better understanding of France's place within the political world than they do.

As to your concerns, I think it would be best if you simply left all worrying to me. Things in general tend to run more smoothly when I am in charge. If you fail to do so, please remember that I have ways to encourage your cooperation. I do not enjoy relying on such methods, however they do happen to be ever so useful.

Sincerely,

Cardinal Armand Richelieu

One bad decision deserves another, I suppose, but why would you choose me? I've got--

I'm not--you ought to look elsewhere, there was only one series so far.

What? Do not say that you think it is my fault that you've been avoiding your responsibilities in writing my memoirs and attending to my affairs?

I think not.

If you could not hear me, you should have endeavored to listen better. I trust I am clear on this issue? Bien.

[ As always this one's mundane is pining for more castmates. As always the duke is really not particularly interested. ]

As... always the company you would have me keep is peculiar, if I may say. Especially since you rather appear to lack the time to... entertain them. [ He clicks his tongue, and flashes a lopsided grin at nobody in particular. ] I have other engagements I would much rather keep, and I doubt you'll be able to procure them. Why not spend the year with more... fruitful endeavours, eh? [ A brief smile. ] Well, I'd best take my leave and pretend I've... given food for thought.

[ Because that worked so well the first fifty times. ]

Are you... proposing a solution to my inquiry, or arranging a punishment for having made it? Far be it from me to offend, but you... have a way of making it difficult to tell, at times.

Surely you cannot be serious. I did think better of you, but perhaps that was a mistake.

...I've made the best of some fiendishly difficult situations, as you're well aware - but ma chérie, how do you propose to get us out of this one?

Being limited by your hands is going to be rather bothersome. And you've left things unfinished - tch. Sloppy work.

Why, Miss Mundane, why would you... pine for these familiar faces, if the sheer number of new acquaintances to be made is so... much more intriguing? [ He shakes his head. ] Not nostalgia on my behalf, I should hope, now, why... don't you leave that to our dear musketeers while I look for better company, hm?
airshipswank: (you don't say | what anachronism?)
[personal profile] airshipswank
That picture still, Miss Mundane? Your concerns are more than unfounded, I guarantee it.

[ But that won't do, will it? No, he already thought as much... ]

Look around and take your pick from the stock, if you think me in such... desperate need of allies.

I should be angry at you, right? I should be insulted. Really, largely insulted because you like me because I'm-- what'd you say? "Dumb" and "cute like a puppy." Seriously? That's rude.

But I guess I can overlook it since this place seems awesome and almost everyone's there already! Where's Porthos, though? And what do you mean, you might not do my application? You created me; you better follow through!

As amusing as it is to see you struggle with my, ah...how did you put it? Branching out?

I'd prefer you leave me well enough alone, unless your efforts happen to dredge up any of my comrades. One can hardly lead the musketeers when there are no musketeers to lead.

I do appreciate an outing, of course, but you really must allow me to return with haste. I'm certain that my husband will be concerned if I'm kidnapped, and he is under a great deal of pressure these days, after all.

Besides, he needs me. And would it be too arrogant to say that France itself may very well need me in the coming days?

And now you grow bored and... expect me to entertain you? Even though... your plan barely even provides me with means to entertain myself. [ Buckingham clicks his tongue. ] Or should you have me take up gardening?

...Oh now, don't tell me that joke was yours to make? I am ever so sorry, inspiration... must be dreadfully hard to come by these days. For you.

Flattering as it is that you spent a great deal of time admiring me in text and pictures, I think we both know I have far more pressing matters to tend to.

Grand larceny does not commit itself, after all.

You think that you're clever, girl?

This is almost as senseless as apologizing to a horse.
