Night 5

[royal_moonrise]

GREETINGS, LOYAL SUBJECTS!

Your princess bids you good day and is pleased to have acquired so many new, faithful subjects in a single day. We do hope that those of you who are used to two legs can manage with four.

As this place is among the stars, t'is the perfect kingdom for the Princess of the Night! However, the name is not fitting at all. Hm... We shall have to think of a new name.

IN GOOD TIME!

For now, we welcome you all to our kingdom! Do not hesitate to ask if there are any questions. We are also open to suggestions for names. We are entertaining the name "Lunaria"!

Aww, but I like 'Satellite of Love', your Majesty...

[beforethemoon]

I wouldn't go renaming the place just yet.

[sailorlaughter]

Oooh! How about "Princess Luna's Satellite of Awesome Party FUN!!!"?

[itsjustamike]

Um yeah, I got a quick question...

Do we have to pay tribute or anything? I don't really know how...magical unicorn kingdoms work and all. That was more my little sister.

[cleverkit]

But I've already sworn loyalty to a different ruler. I appreciate the offer, but I can't just betray that just because I'm suddenly a pony...

[worldinagrain]

We're nowhere near the moon.

(Rin seems to be taking the whole 'is a pony' thing in stride. Also, her cutie mark is a blotch of blue paint, with clouds in it.)

[icanhastail]

[And he's just going to exacerbate the situation.]

Lunavania? Lunestria? Lunaville? Take your pick!

[wefallinsilence]

[Ienzo's not really sure why the Satellite needs to be renamed, but Luna's speech catches his attention anyway, even if he's got nothing to say immediately. So have a bitty just sort of... quietly watching, Luna.]

[royal_moonrise]

GREETINGS! May we be of any assistance to thee?

[halfdarkened]

[He seems a bit put off, but his tone is respectful.]

I come from a small island. We didn't have any rulers, just a mayor. Before I came here, I'd worked with two kings.

I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but if my allegiance lies anywhere, it's to the king who's saved my life several times.

[royal_moonrise]

Lunestria has a pleasant ring to it.

[royal_moonrise]

But we are still among the stars!

[royal_moonrise]

Well... We suppose that is understandable. But then that makes thou our guest! Thou shalt receive the same respect and honor as one of our subjects!

[royal_moonrise]

Only if thou wish to!

[royal_moonrise]

While we rather like this idea, t'is a bit... long-winded.

[royal_moonrise]

Whyever not?

[royal_moonrise]

We feel it is a bit too plain.

[royal_moonrise]

[...sulks a little.] We... are trying to be a good ruler.

[beforethemoon]

Because this is probably temporary.

[halfdarkened]

And I'm sure you are in your world. It's good that you're willing to take everyone under your wing... Literally. But my heart is still a human's heart.

I hope you understand. [He lowers his head. Not quite a bow, but more as a courtesy.]

[royal_moonrise]

All the more reason to act!

[beforethemoon]

But we're not really your subjects.

[royal_moonrise]

Nonsense! Thou even look like one of our servants!

[royal_moonrise]

...we understand.

[itsjustamike]

Oh, good! Optional is always a nice option.
