Heeeeeey there my good people! I have an announcement.

I want to get to know you all better, mingle a little, you know? So I'm having a party at my place! Everyone is invited!

There will be all the wine you can drink and music. I couldn't get a cow on short notice, and people were giving me funny looks when I started asking around, so for the feast, we uh, just have to settle for less at the moment.



Oh yeah! Gershom, I have a special gift for you.

Count me in, almost all the parties I've ever been invited to in my life have been stuffy bullshit where I wasn't allowed to do anything I'd regret later.

Doesn't sound like you've ever had a proper feast then, huh?

This won't be any Great Dionysia but maybe, well, eventually I'll be able to work up to that!

I get the sweet, sweet joy of Misrule, but that's only three days out of the year.

Otherwise, well. It's kind of hard to escape the fact that everyone's watching you and your family to swoop down on the first social fuckup you make for their own benefit.

Only three? Great Dionysia is a six day holiday! You're missing out if this Misrule is a good holiday.

Hmm, overbearing family it sounds like? Or disliked nobles?

Try "cog in the eternal machinations of cutthroat court politics".

My mom can be a bit much sometimes.

[Not a shitty parent per se, but definitely on the strict side. ]

I can't say we're particularly liked or disliked among the other houses, but as long as someone thinks they've got something they can get out of it, why not cash in?

[ Oh a princess! ]

Didn't know I was speaking to genuine royalty, milady! I sympathize though. My own mother was a mortal princess. Never did get to meet her but I met my aunt and my cousin, king of Thebes. Not a cool dude at all. Mixed bag with the whole royalty thing.

[bloodyroses]

It's cool, I don't really talk about it much here since I seriously doubt my title has any sway in a place where no one's even heard of your kingdom.

Besides, the whole royalty thing is a fucking joke.
