5 ~ A Well Played Move [Filtered to the Victoria II | Unhackable]

[prince_mentir]

Well, this is certainly unexpected.  Can't say I thought I'd be visiting Erealia of all places any time soon.

Anyone well acquainted with the area?  Or would this be everyone's first time there?

You weren't, by any chance, struck with the urge to send the Victoria's crew and myself a gift of five hundred lunch boxes,

I've been there a few times, obviously.

[prince_mentir]

Oh? So did you enjoy all the times you visited Erealia?

[karmauberalles]

It's not one of my favorite destinations.

[prince_mentir]

I would ask the reason, but I suppose this is one of those issues better left unsaid?

Although, you have me wondering now. In the times you visited Erealia, was it as captain of the Victoria or before?

[karmauberalles]

It depends on whether or not you want to hear about it.

I was there once before captaining this ship, and I've been there multiple times since.

[prince_mentir]

I have to admit that I am rather curious, and if you're offering, I'd be more than happy to receive an elaboration.

[karmauberalles]

Let's just say that the royal family can be too damned sensitive at times.

[prince_mentir]

That certainly sounds credible. If I'm not mistaken, royalty is often accustomed to pampered treatment, and they expect their guests to heed their every, fleeting whim. I suppose your sound advice for reading up on etiquette is from personal experience, then.

[karmauberalles]

Certainly not; they seem to have a habit of overhearing offhand comments and taking them completely out of context, requiring an embarrassing amount of explanation that the speakers in question were talking about some other arrogant, pompous imbecile.

[prince_mentir]

I see. And I assume even after everything was smoothed over, there were still wounded feelings?

[karmauberalles]

Of course. You can't expect an entitled brat like that to let things go, after all.
