[video!] Nice to meet you!

[overbiterestart]

Hello folks of Rakuen, if you don't know me by now my name is Jane Crocker. I think I have been doing a pretty swell job of avoiding a network post until now. The thing is here is that I made some cake and I think all of Rakuen should have some sort of treat for all of their hard work in classes and battle alike.

[She's made shit loads of things for just Fortitude, so why not all of Rakuen?]

It's being held at the Bakery in town if anyone wants some of it. [She used a whole three boxes of cake mix to make this and she's plum proud of it!]

I'll also be a round town if you want to go for a walk or something! So, see you guys later and enjoy the cake!

[The feed cuts; however, a private feed to Dirk still remains.]

Dirk, will you meet me in town please? Asap, if you don't mind.

Aw, shucks John. You didn't have to go and say all of that!

[She chuckles. Not nobility, but I am the heiress of a large baked goods company back where I'm from. Their loss is that they do not know the joy of making sweets!

An heiress! Of what, exactly?

I was an heir, myself. Of a kingdom. It's kind of hilarious in retrospect.

It's nothing to do with royalty. When I'm of age, I'm supposedly supposed to be taking over my families company. So it's kind of a Kingdom, but not really.


[She chuckles.]

So you'll be ruling it? I've no doubt you'd be a kind ruler.

action

[overbiterestart]

Oh, kind of! If that is what you wish to think of it like. I would be making the big decisions for my company, which is like making big decisions for the good of your kingdom.

[Blush.] Of course I would be kind. Are you kind?

[kingdomsgambit]

I do my best to be. My mother... was a malevolent ruler, and I wish to repair what she has broken.

[ sighs. ]

It is not going to be easy. But I have an idea I wish to implement when I am returned to my kingdom.

action

[overbiterestart]

It is very difficult to repair what someone else has broken.At some points, I believe I feel that someone with the weight you have on your shoulders would be stressed out.

[She nods.]

What will you do?

[ He shifts in his seat, looking excited. Elaborate hand gestures everywhere. ]

My tutor and dear friend, Rose, has taught me to think about the plight of my people, and I realized a lot of their problems stem from knights that abuse their exalted position, that chivalry is merely the virtue of possessing money and armor.

I proposed that after treaties have been made with Derse -- which they have, by the way -- that I will work on abolishing this view. Knights should use their sword against wicked people, not innocents. I shall establish a table of knights, the Knights of Spirograph, to help with this cause. With time and effort, I think our land would be so much better.

[Oh John you really are a cute one.]

Then I believe Miss Rose has done a wonderful job with you. You're concerned about your people, and your land- to protect them is a big feat John. I think you're going to be a wonderful ruler once this whole table of Knights is established.

Is Sir David in this table? He seems like a very kind Knight.
