====> Royal V: ride on dolphinmum

==> Be Regius
After a quick exchange of pleasantries you decide that the sea carriage is too much hassle and your servants can bother with it and your possessions, you'd rather ride on the back of your Moirail's lusus and get faster where you need to be


==> Be Ranije
You fasten a bigger riding chair on your lusus and help your Dear Moirail on her back, then climb on, too
She starts the long journey back to the Main Palace

====> Regius: Dude... she is kinda hot, but a little young. She's better than Vrigia at least. You gotta have a real quadrant with this girl. None of that platonic bs

====> Ranije: Put up a good word for Kalyan so her punishment is diminished

===> Be Regius
You are still feeling miffed at this random voice in your head
You can't help but talk out loud

Regius: she's older than me!
Regius: but I don't like her like that

===> Be Ranije
Huh?
You stare at your Dear Moirail Regius who's gone pink in the ears, you cannot see his face as you are riding lower on dolphinmum
You shrug off his comment as Typical Regius Behaviour
You also suspect Regius has temporarily forgotten about Kalyan's insubordination
You will only attempt to mediate for her if he remembers
Knowing your moirail, he won't

====> Regius: Dude, what? There is no better badge of honor than having someone older than you in a flushed or ashen quadrant. Its like, swag 101

====> Ranije: Arrive to the main palace

===> Be Regius
You're flipping the fuck out so hard dolphinmum has to slow down to avoid having you fall to the ocean

===> Be Ranije
Your Dear Moirail Regius seems too busy flipping the fuck out so you take it upon yourself to signal servants over
They help you delicately dismount Regius and escord you both into the Palace
As Regius is guided to G'lbgolyb, you stay back and coordinate the delivery of the rest of his belongings
Your own palace is nearby, but you should probably remind Choire to send over the leftovers of heraltest show to feed your Dear Moirail's lusus

====> Regius: Ok, whatever. I guess your shameglobes haven't dropped yet. Do something kingly. Show me what you've got

====> Ranije: Remind Choire of her duty

===> Be Regius
===> Commune with G'lbgolyb
You kneel down and place your hand on her beak, your eyes close as you feel her speak to you
She is hungry
===> Throw a kingly tantrum
You quickly break off the communication and address the servant trolls

Regius: why hasn't she been fed?
Regius: feed her RIGHT NOW OR SO HELP ME
Regius: YOU WILL FEED HER YOUR FLESH

The trolls scurry off who knows where

===> Be Ranije
Servant trolls throw themselves at your feet
G'lbgolyb hasn't been fed
You sigh deeply, trying to keep your composture
Those two girls will be the death of you

Now.

===> Be Ranije
===> Shooshpap Regius
===> Wait for delivery

====> Sing a song to pass the time

===> Be Ranije
You've never really been a musically inclined troll, but you are well aware your ancestor was an accomplished trollharp player
It's always been a dream of yours, to learn how to play it
Still you never really found the motivation

As you were lost in thought, shooshpapping Regius, the guards announced Choire's arrival

She did a low curtsey and then performed a short interpretative dance that looks kind of like her shows summarized
At the end ten corpses shot out of her syllandex and fell to the ground at her feet

You rolled your eyes at her antics

===> Be Regius
Regius got shaken out of his stupor by the spatter of inferior troll blood upon his kingly visage
He flipped further the fuck out

===> Ranije: Feed G'lbgolyb
You take some trolls and throw them into your Dear Moirail Regius' Dear Lusus
Choire helps you
G'lbgolyb gobbles them up happily

====> Entire Group: Plan tomorrow's affairs

===>Be Regius
You are done with this shit
You leave the girls to take a very much needed shower
Lowblood blood is gross and probably riddled with pest

===> Be Ranije
No surprise here, Dear Moirail Regius is never present in strategic meetings
You proceed to explain how the protest will go
Kalyan and yourself will arrive relatively early and stay at the Instigator Building so you can keep an eye on the protest
You will only get involved if it becomes a serious matter
You ask Choire not to attend because this is meant to be a serious event. If trolls see her they will think it is all just a set up

===> Be Choire
You kinda wished you could spend some time with Kalyan, but if the Royal Moirail asks you to not get involved...you can't precisely say no
It's no secret you are despised by the lower classes and you are seen as a blood traitor
After all, your victims are fellow lowbloods
The way they are chosen isn't entirely fair but... hey, it's a job
You get the prisioners chosen to get executed and turn their death into a show
It brings you as much hate as it brings you admiration

====> Group: Check on the middle protest current state

===> Be Ranije
Regius seems bored out of his mind, Choire is brooding silently
You feel a voice inside your head that makes you feel the slightest bit weary
You beckon a slave and ask them to bring information about the protest

He takes about 20 minutes to come back running and collapse at your feet

Slave: thErE's bEEn a riot
Slave: somE trolls havE diEd

Your two colleagues jump to their feet startled

You stare at them

Ranije: S̷t̷a̷y̷ ̷h̷e̷r̷e̷! ̷I̷ ̷w̷i̷l̷l̷ ̷i̷n̷v̷e̷s̷t̷i̷g̷a̷t̷e̷

You address the slave cowering at your feet

Ranije: S̷u̷m̷m̷o̷n̷ ̷m̷y̷ ̷f̷i̷n̷e̷s̷t̷ ̷c̷a̷v̷a̷l̷r̷e̷a̷p̷e̷r̷s̷ ̷a̷n̷d̷ ̷r̷u̷f̷f̷i̷a̷n̷n̷i̷h̷i̷l̷a̷t̷o̷r̷s̷

====> Regius: Bond with the new pretty lady
====> Choire: That kid seems boring, get out of there

===> Be Choire
You see Regius fisting his Royal Cloak in his little webbed prongs and biting into it while muffling a scream of rage

Well, time to get out of here

TU: ♪ THE D▲YS ARE DULL ♫
TU: ♪ THE NIGHTS ▲RE LONG ♫
TU: ♪ GUESS IT'S BETTER TO S▲Y ♫
TU: ♪ GOODBYE TO YOU ♫

You then take off running before Little Lord Brat notices the shade you just threw his way

===> Be Regius
You loosen your fangs' hold of your Royal Cloak to stare at the retreating yellow blood
What a weird troll

====> Regius: Explore palace

There's not really much to explore. You know the palace like your webbed hands, after all, you grew up here
You decide to take a royal visit to the kitchens because you're feeling rather peckish

====> Regius: Order a meal befitting of royalty

Yes, of course
Your entree is kelp retrieved from the lair of a venomous sea monster, seasoned with ground diamonds and gold flakes
It's alright, you'd had better
The main dish is taking a while to prepare though...

====> Regius: Receive protest news

The servant that bears the news of your Dear Moirail's passing is swiftly executed for playing a bad prank
It's not until the servants kneel at your feet that you realize they are not joking
Why? How could this happen?
You refuse to believe it
The protest was supposed to be monitored closely by security
You will punish someone
Someone has to die for what they did to Dear Moirail and you will bring the full force of your rage at the Instigators if needed

====> Regius: Send an army to the protest site

That's done already
You're having a hard time holding the tears back, but you have to manage
She wouldn't want you to cry like a stupid wiggler
You should probably go with them, but you're not feeling up to the task
Along with the soldier there is a messenger who carries a letter addressed to Grand Highblood In Training Kalyan
She is to oversee the completion of justice and avenge Ranije
