"something to consider, however somehow I doubt things will work out that neatly"
-you examine the mysterious room you found yourself in with interest-
"Anyways father, was their anything YOU wished to discuss?"

"Well, I was wondering what your planning on doing about the queen. She's given up her ring, so her greatest advantage is lost."
"I've been wondering that over myself. I'm not sure if I want to take the easy route and just kill her...or try to find some way to use her. If we kill her...taking over derse might be a good move and we might be able to use it to weaken the forces of the black king from a moral standpoint by cutting them off....or we could just destroy the entire place....but that could get messy itself. One of the other options I was considering was giving her to Jack to try and win him back over...then seat him on the throne to run derse in our place while we are busy with the land quests....he gets the power he seeks....we get a blow to the black king and subjugation of Derse.....hard to say what might be the best move though"
"Hmmm. Well, it's good to be keeping your mind open to the possibilities... But Jack is not someone you want in charge. He's got a more active aggressive aproach to things."
"then as long as Lucien doesn't try to stop me with his coligunus crush on her...I'll probably execute both her and Jack and then ask the white queen to take over derse, or I'll do it myself and just have to deal with the duel responsibilities. If we can't find a way to work with the black queen herself now that her cards have been shown...however I have the feeling she's the type where is we give her an inch she'll take a mile"
"you know, the Dersites have been set up so that they are able to be totally self-sufficient even without a leader? The Dersites might be a mess, but at least they have their tenacity. Prospitians would be lost without solid leadership... And yes, the queen would be certain to take advantage of whatever you might give her."
"hopefully that impression stays with me after we leave here then. Sounds like it would just be easiest to execute the two of them and either leave derse or ask the white queen to annex it"
"Maybe. Best to get as little involvement with those frog haters as possible." *your dad goes to consume the last of his meat*
-you finish your coffee and set it aside-
"Is there anything else you'd like to focus or anyone ale you think I should meet before we finish up? I was thinking of seeking an audience with the black King to size them up or my denizen to ask their opinion of my plan to turn them into a pistol"

"not sure if the royalty ever visit this place... and why not talk to your Denizen before your time?" *he sounds slightly sarcastic about the Denizen meeting*
-your only response is to cock an eyebrow-
"what? Its just... Most sprites don't like to think of their player meeting their Denizen until they're ready... even if it doesn't count here."
"very well, my interest in it isn't that strong anyways. I understand his reasons, or at least what I believe his reasons to be in what he did with the consorts....I just am not following them for the sake of my own progression which is what I think what he and the game wants anyways. I mostly just wanted to get a measure of him...but that can wait"
"thanks. that really helps to settle my scales." ... "you know, we could probably go shooting in this place. somethings telling me they have all manor of facilities available here."
"I do wonder....between my turquoise blooded accuracy and agility...and your natural inclination with a pistol as a prototyping....which of us has the better shot......"
"hey, i've gotten pretty good in no time at all. you've got to train your whole life as if a weapon is an extension of yourself. my weapons really are extensions of myself." *he sounds happy*
"Alright...I'm game then, lets test this out. Lead the way father"
*briefly unsure where to go, he heads out of the private booth* *Av is waiting near, casually motioning over to a back-room*
... "Thanks, I guess." *your sprite is a bit unsure of Av, but he's not questioning it*
... "Thanks, I guess." *your sprite is a bit unsure of Av, but he's not questioning it*
-You follow after him-
"that....being, he's a void player correct?"
"that....being, he's a void player correct?"
"Yea. And an incredibly powerful one at that." *entering the range, there seems to only be one other here using it at the moment. A large guy with- ... Oh, that's not a big smiling mouth, that is an eye... They are firing off a complex set of spells at a small moving target. They seem pretty good, but not very, at hitting it*
