welcome to the mansion

[airlockedmods]

[The Champions wake up not in a bed, but alone on a plush, velvet seat. Some may recognize the backseat of a limousine, while some may not, but the windows are tinted black inside and out, and there's no chauffeur. All are wearing expensive formalwear, no matter what they thought they were wearing before.

The door opens by an unseen hand and reveals a gravel drive with a red carpet and a lavish fountain. Others are already there, and more limousines continue to pull up afterward. The front doors are locked, and overhead curls a large protective glass dome, keeping the cold void of space at bay, but hey, there's also an unparalleled view of the stars.]

Hey there, Champions, welcome to the IGS Fantasy Sweet. I'm PAL, your onboard maintenance system for this location. Your Overseer will arrive shortly. Please be patient.

[He lives to entertain. He usually dies to entertain, too, but that breaks the 4th wall.]

Ha, nice caveat, believe him to be. Leaves you some wiggle room.

No one is without flaw, not even a king. The best that we should hope for is to be one valued by those which we govern. Is that so terrible?

[motherfucking_ghost]

Like I said, beats getting your neck stretched out on the chopping block.

[scourgingstars]

I do hope to avoid that. I'm only the second in the line, so that would be a terrible omen for my brother's descendants.

[motherfucking_ghost]

What, no kiddos and heirs and princes and princesses of your own to take the crown?

[scourgingstars]

Regrettably, most of my time is spent traveling, so that's far from a luxury I'm able to afford.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Dude, everyone can afford to get down with someone. Well, not everyone can afford a kid, I guess, but that's not a problem for you, money-wise.

[scourgingstars]

I was not quite speaking in the monetary sense. Traveling is a hazardous thing to do where I am from, more so with a wife and children involved. And the alternative would be to leave them in Insomnia while I attend to matters elsewhere in the continent. Neither option sounds ideal to me, so I left that sort of life to my brother.

[motherfucking_ghost]

And you trust him and his to take care of things? Especially if you're gone a while, here.

[scourgingstars]

Of course I do. I presume this will be resolved quickly to whatever end, but should I be wrong I've no reason not to trust him with the country until I return. Izunia is my brother, and has ever been my dear friend.

[What could possibly go wrong?]
