[Video] The Rhyme is a lie

[blastiafreak]

[The communicator flickers on to focus on Rita, who looks tired and a bit spaced-out. All the excitement of coming to the City catching up with her, perhaps?]

Hey, did someone start growing a flower garden in here or something? All I can smell are roses, and they're giving me a headache.

[She sleepily rubs at her eyes then pauses, mildly confused

[While Natalia blames herself for even talking about it]

Oh- it's the kingdom of Kimlasca. We live alongside the empire of Malkuth on Auldrant- it's such a lovely kingdom. The citizens are all so kind to me. I do love them.

[smiles]

I certainly wish I could take you.

[Auldrant? That sounds vaguely familiar, but Rita's talked to so many people over the past week that she can't remember who said it. Forgetting that, she's glad that this topic lifts Natalia's spirits so quickly.]

They must be happy to have you for their ruler.

I think I'd like to see it too. All these different worlds...It would be amazing to see even a small portion of them.

[She folds her hands against her chest, absolutely beaming]

I'd take you to all of Kimlasca's finest locations and restaurants! I personally love the cheese-

[It's hard not to be won over by that. The cheer is infectious and Rita finds herself smiling, too.]

A big kingdom would have the best food, wouldn't it? Are there any good dessert places around?

action;

[imperialwill]

Yes- ice cream and cakes and all sorts of things! Do you like sweets, Rita?

action;

[blastiafreak]

Yeah, I can't get enough of them. Pudding, parfaits--I'd eat them all the time if I could!

action;

[imperialwill]

I see! If you'd like, I can take you to the bakery next to the restaurant. Whenever you're well, of course.

action; gee, good thing no cake curses will happen after this or anything~

[blastiafreak]

All right! So even the City has some good places to eat, after all.

action; awww DID THEY EAT TOGETHER?

[imperialwill]

Yes- perhaps you'd like a complete tour?

action; ...IF THEY DIDN'T, IT'S NOT TOO LATE! Rita's got leftover cake still!

[blastiafreak]

That would be pretty helpful, actually. I've done what reading I can, but this place is bigger than any other city I've known, even the capital, and I don't know where to start.

action; CAKE DATE!!!

[imperialwill]

Very well, then! In a few days time, I shall take you on a tour of the City. It'll take all day and a lot of walking, but I'm sure it'll be delightful.

action; YAY~

[blastiafreak]

[Wait, what. Rita doesn't think she's quite ready to die yet, especially not on a tour.]

Uh, maybe we should split it up into two days. We won't get a proper look at everything otherwise!

action;

[imperialwill]

Very well- that may be the best course of action. Do you have two days to spare?

action;

[blastiafreak]

Good, that should be enough time. I haven't made any other plans, so as long as you're free...but it'll probably depend on us not being cursed.

action;

[imperialwill]

That's certainly true. Then we shall see in time, yes?

action;

[blastiafreak]

Right. That's about all we can do in this place.
