Who: The Queen(?) and you!
When: Day 1, throughout the day
Where: Anywhere she can find you!
What:

[someone wearing a trench coat, a baseball cap, thick coke-bottle glasses, and knee-high polka-dotted rainboots, approaches you. sketchy, right? also horrendous, i mean, you can't make this outfit look good.

maybe you were still getting a feel for the town, or you're getting a knock on your door at the inn, or maybe you're not even IN town when this person finds you! it's hard to make out who they are from their ridiculous disguise, but their enlarged eyes (thanks to the coke-bottle glasses) seem to familiarly reflect galaxies...]

Well, well. We—I have been looking forward to getting a proper one-on-one with you! The council was a struggle to escape, but I hope they'll let bygones be bygones when they've figured out my trick. It's not like this is the first time!

[she laughs—] Ahem! [—then outstretches her weird trench-coated arms in greeting]

...welcome!

((OOC: You're not obligated to tag this post, but maybe you want to get to know the Queen on a first name basis...? Anyway, I'll be tagging this post for a long while to come, so tag in late or keep tagging for weeks, whatever works for you!)

Darn, that's a good one.

Ha! I suppose we won't ever see pigs fly here now! A bit of a shame, but—no, no, no turning back now!

They'll just have to stay in our imaginations.

Alas! It sounds like you have a pretty overactive imagination, actually! Do you keep a lot of things in that head of yours?

I overflow with ideas.

You've convinced a lot of people to help you solve this little labyrinth problem. I can't help but think about all the wild promises you must have made to lure them all here.

My suggestion, Highness, is a demonstration. Proof that you have the power you claim to. Proof that you can keep these promises you've made.

[You're not getting much work out of him if he doesn't believe he's getting a reward, you know.]

[in his experience, chatty superiors tends to mean he's about to be screwed over 8(;;;]

Ah. Well, I, uh...I don't eat? I just like baking...

You are a gracious ruler.

[Kratos keeps his head inclined as he speaks, deferring to her words. He is not inclined to leaving impressions.]

I believe people are inclined to share the views of their leader. I look forward to serving you and your country.

Another person's imagination truly intrigues me, you know! After all, you gave life to the idea of flying pigs and their delicious wings. I never would have thought of that. Normally I save the deep thinking stuff for my younger sister, but I can't deny wondering about the imagination of everyone around me! Everyone, leading their own lives, having their own thoughts, concocting their own mental creations, and having their own dreams...

[pausing, woops, that is a bit of overrambling there, for once she catches that]

...say, does everyone's imagination catch your interest any?

[she grins and steps forward—not into his personal space or anything, but she's definitely willing to prove something if it means showing off]

A demonstration, huh? I'm glad someone's asked. What would you like for me to do? Raise the dead? Sprout an oranapple tree from beneath our feet? Create a dove out of some sand and that rock? Maybe instead you'd like to see me create a star? But, on second thought, it'd be a bit too hard during the day like this...

Perhaps you'd like to see something more impressive than anything I've provided, seeing as that's all baby stuff.

[definitely too eager]

You're kind! Very mellow, too! I'd say serious, but that's a dull word, you know? Something I associate with that dear sister of mine, haha!

[she tones it down a notch, from "excited yappy puppy" to... well, something not an excited yappy puppy, i can't analyze puppies, i wish i did that for a living]

I look forward to your hard work. And hopefully you look forward to staying in my country; it's not much, but it'll start growing as time progresses with your assistance. Maybe someday we'll remember the name of it... ha!

You don't eat? Whaaat?

I know I noticed something... hmm, "different" about you as I approached, but I didn't think "not eating" was part of it. That's sad!

I don't need to...? I'm not missing anything.

Hm, how do you mean?

[Not exactly the response he expected, but he likes it. In fact he's positively excited.]

Give someone else that power. Give me that power.

You have a sister?

'Queen', 'Dominique' or 'Eupheme'...I believe I'll stick with calling you 'Queen' for now, as that seems to be the closest thing you'll have to a nickname.

My name is Van Grants. It's a pleasure to be introduced, my Queen.

The name... ?

[Kratos seems frankly puzzled that an entire country could forget its own designation, but he... doesn't go any further. No reaso nto be rude.]

We can both hope for that, Your Majesty.

Does the way another person think outside the box intrigue you? You know... we all have minds and brains, but we're all wired to think differently! Isn't that amazing?

It can be, sometimes! People get very creative.
