Shoka) Hey, you can tell me! It's not like it's anything that will put your reputation on the line? Right?
(Xander) Ugh....Fine.... *tells Shoka the stories of Levian and Camilla doing it, Xander, Leon, and Elise walking in on it, Xander giving Elise the talk, Elise drawing R-34 Art, and showing it to Garon*
Iguru wakes up the next day and checks the mail slipped under his door. There was a letter from Shoka. He tore it open immediately and sighed in relief after reading it. Soldier) Sir, the Queen requests your presence in the town market. Briefing about yesterday's battle to the citizens. Iguru) Tell her I'm on my way. (Oh! Any interest in continuing the EqG RP?)
Iguru) The door is open, Your Highness! I'm fine. I'm about to head to the market with the Queen to brief the public about yesterday. (http://www.everypony.com/threads/proxy-and-levis-one-on-one-take-two.16655/page-10)
Iguru) Even better. I got one from Shoka! She says she's okay. That's relief enough. He takes a look at his clock. Iguru) The briefing starts soon. We should head on down, your highness.
Queen Mikoto) Citizens of Hoshido, as you know, one of out most important agricultural provinces was lost in a battle yesterday. The circumstances of which are... Alarming, to say the least. Son, would you care to explain?
(Ryoma) Yes, mother. -ahem- It would seem the Nohrians owed yesterday's victory to their commanders' cunning usage of dragons and sabotage, which we were not prepared for. And now that they know we want that territory back, they will likely take extreme precautions to keep us out of that territory. This was confirmed not too long ago today, when our scouts in the area bordering the territory have already reported a major climb in the population of Crocodilian reptiles in the river marking the border between the territory and Hoshido, and the burning of the bridges leading from the territory to Hoshido. Back to you, mother.
Mikoto) Furthermore, because of the dragons, we are enacting a strict curfew until the threat is neutralized. No citizens shall be out in the streets after 11:00 PM, and if you are found, you will be escorted to your home or the nearest shelter, whichever is closest.
Iguru) We ARE planning to retaliate. But we cannot discuss it here, for fear of spies and informants.
Shoka was starry eyed looking at the massive waterfall. Shoka) Wow! I never thought I'd see it this close before! How long is the hike up?
(Xander) Oh, It's nothing you can't handle. Elise, I might have to give a piggyback ride after a while, though. (Elise) -pouty face-
Shoka) I hope you don't mind, but I smuggled my journal with me when I was captured. My brother used to take me on nature hikes and I would draw anything I found interesting. I'm not scheming anything, I swear.
