Quest 331

[Voice Post]

Why, do you know--I do think this is the very first time all four of us have been together in the same place like this! Isn't that the oddest thing? Daddy's been through once or twice before, and of course Mother's come to call, and lately it's been Alexander, more often than not, but I really don't think that in all this time it's ever been--

Perhaps it's simply that this was the first we'd ever gotten an invitation?

Well, perhaps so, but that doesn't quite explain why Daddy turned up late, does it?

Now, hold on just one minute there--

She does have a point, dear. Where did you get off to?

I went for my morning stroll past the lake! Imagine my surprise when I came home to an empty castle and Gerwain wagging a finger at me like I'd been caught with my hand in the cookie jar!

--Again.

--Again.

[Laughter.] Kids!

Well, what matters is that we're all here now. Rosella, dear, you're looking so well--and so tall! Come now, let's use our time wisely. I'm sure we all want to meet everyone we can, while we have the chance.

Oh, yes, of course! Er--let me just switch this off, then, and--oh, that's right, what I was going to say is, we'll all be at the Blue Light this evening, and of course everyone is invited to come and bring their visitors as well!

[OOC: Today, for a limited time only, the entire Royal Family of Daventry is here for your threading disposal! Because nothing says a happy ending like a family reunion. COME AT THEM, I SAY.]

[boogiewoogiebugleboy]

I'm glad you're getting to see your family.

[primrosella]

And adding more all the while, I should think! Hello, Blue!

[boogiewoogiebugleboy]

You'll save a dance for me, right?

[primrosella]

Don't I always?

--Why, I ought to see if there's a fiddle about, if you're in the mood to play as well as dance. Perhaps Daddy will see fit to join you!

[boogiewoogiebugleboy]

We'll have to see how it works out, but I think I would like that.

[anunluckypenny]

Your whole family's here? That's incredible! I don't think we've had this much royalty in the City since... ever.

[primrosella]

Oh, they are, isn't it just lovely! You know Alexander already, I think--he remembers you, at least, though I don't know if he ever introduced himself when he was speaking with you--but then Mother and Daddy are here, too, and I'm sure they'd be just delighted to see you!

[anunluckypenny]

I don't think I've ever talked to an Alexander who said he was Alexander, but I'm sure I'd recognize him. You guys will be there all evening? I'll definitely try to sneak out to meet them.

Um. Do they expect bowing or anything? Is there a dress code?

[whisperedhome]

Bowing? Oh, certainly not, and you look fine, dear.

[LOOK WHO'S PEERING IN OVER ROSELLA'S SHOULDER NOW.]

And you are?

[anunluckypenny]

[GASP. A queen! Penny knew she should've taken the time to curl her hair this morning.]

I'm Penny, ma--er, your majesty?

[Video]

[amansgottadowhat]

Ah, hello, Rosella! How are you this fine day?

[Video]

[catnapped]

Er--hullo, sorry, she's a bit, um, occupied right now, so I've got hold of the magic mirror for the moment. Can I pass on a message, or...?

[amansgottadowhat]

Magic mirror?

[Video]

[amansgottadowhat]

Ah, yes, of course.

You may tell her that her favorite hero is back for a visit.

And who might I be speaking to that has something of Rosella's?

[Video]

[catnapped]

Of course, I'll see to it at once.

Ah, I'm--Alexander. Prince Alexander, that is, of Daventry. Rosella is my sister.

[Video]

[amansgottadowhat]

My thanks.

Well then, hello there! A pleasure to meet you, to be sure. Rosella's told me so much about you! [No she hasn't.]

[OoC: I would bet no money against "Rosella's put her family against Hammer so that she can ignore him."]

[misterblackbird]

So everyone's arrived at the same time for a visit in the City--at last. That is a delight.

[grahamonomics]

You there! Hullo, who's that? Yes, I'm talking to someone on the magic mirror. Just think how much more convenient it'd be if ours was this size? Be more worried about setting it down and misplacing it somewhere than--oh, drat, I think it's still going.

HELLO, ARE YOU STILL THERE?

sup

[wandbreaker]

Sir, he's here to steal your daughter.

[Mic drop Edmund out]

well here we go then

[grahamonomics]

He what?

[whisperedhome]

He what?!

[catnapped]

Steal who?

[primrosella]

EDMUND!

[misterblackbird]

Yes, I'm still here. Are you navigating the Network well enough?

My name is Cain Hargreaves, sir. I believe we may have spoken once before, though it's been some time. Certainly, Rosella has told me quite a lot about you. It's a pleasure to speak with you.

[whisperedhome]

Graham, do stop that. Here, let me--

Hello, Cain, it's Rosella's mother. I believe we've spoken once or twice before; it's lovely to hear from you again. Have you been well?
