Hello, residents of Amani! My name is Rose and I'm [ hic ] taking it upon myself to be the news source no one asked for!

[ How many mojitos has this woman had? Probably too many, considering they're only supposed to be allowed one. It's fine. It's fine? Yeah, it's fine. Her hair is much shorter than some might remember and she doesn't look like she's slept for days but it's fine. ]

Now, there aren't a lot of us here. But, boy howdy, do we make up for it with some exciting antics! One of the simulation's hot spots happens to be the main hub where new people arrive and anything can happen because of it. In fact, look-! Over there! A proposal is taking place! A... weird one, where they're both kneeling. Huh. [ A pause as she keeps the camera focused on those two guys just hanging out on the floor for a moment. ]

Maybe it's a tradition where they're from. Who am I to say! Anyway,  mazel tov to the hopefully happy couple and their future. Moving right along to Room 69 - nice, by the way, I see what you did there - where apparently food is available and...

[ The sound of fist making contact with face cuts Rose off before she sloppily swivels the camera around to capture the scene of Byleth decking Niles in the face. ]

It just keeps getting better! Woo, fight fight fight! [ Sorry, Niles and Byleth both. She's only here to encourage bad behavior, as per usual. After a moment, the camera turns back on Rose whose smiling wide. ]

See? Exciting. Come on down to the main hub sometime where it's now happy hour every hour, you can plan your nuptials, and view a fistfight for entertainment over lunch!

[ The blond gives a wink before the feed cuts off. ]

[cinderhulk]

Congratulations.

May your mate be worthy.

[fatefulprince]

No-!!! It's not like that! I-It was a misunderstanding--!!

[cinderhulk]

What misunderstanding is there?

I would bring you the gift of your enemy's skull if it were an option. I will have to be more creative.

the next morning, womp womp

[hasitsthorns]

[ Okay, so- Hm.

She's so bad at apologies, honestly, but she wants to try. For his sake. Also because, y'know, she kind of fucking told everyone that he was engaged when he actually wasn't. ]

Hey, Corrin. [ Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh. ] Sorry about, uhm. All that. The broadcast. I hope it didn't, like, mess up your guys' actual relationship or anything.

LMAOOO YESSSSS

[fatefulprince]

Rose! No, no ... it's fine. Nothing ruined. Haha. Trust me, it's okay. [ _{it would take a lot more than that to ruin a relationship between a lord and his retainer!} ]

How was your night? I hope your head doesn't hurt too much today, you certainly seemed to be enjoying yourself on the broadcast video. [ _{he laughs and grins. he's also not going to mention the niles incident because Holy Shit that is just too much to unpack right now.} ]

[hasitsthorns]

Okay, well, that's good at least. You guys seem pretty close considering I thought it was a proposal and I'd feel bad if I McFucked that up.

[ Asking about her night is- Hm. It almost makes her feel worse, in a way, because he's being so kind after she pulled that stupid stunt. ]

It definitely was a night, that's for sure. And yeah, I- My alcohol tolerance isn't what it used to be? But that's my fault. Not an excuse, just... Something to keep in mind if I hit main hub happy hour again.

[zephyrsvow]

[ WHAT, NO?????

...I'm crying his brain just shut down and imploded, give him some time. ]

[fatefulprince]

Kaze...!? What do we do--?! Everyone's going to think we're engaged!!

[zephyrsvow]

I—

We tell them we're not engaged!

[ A+ plan ]

[fatefulprince]

OKAY! ... Okay! That works. PHEW! After all, we don't have rings! We're safe. I think.

[ _{Corrin just. slumps back in his seat with a HUGE SIGH. UGH. ]}

[bestswordmaster]

Corrin's getting...married? Ugh.

[Shit. Apparently, Felix didn't feel bad enough having taken the man's virginity as a total stranger, now he's done it mere weeks before Corrin's boyfriend showed up and proposed to him.

...whatever. Nothing he can do about it now. Except never mention that night or think about it ever again.

Then he frowns at Rose.]

Can't you make the picture stay still? I wanted to watch the professor fight.

[No other questions asked, apparently. If Byleth is punching someone, Felix trusts his judgment.]

Did that sign say there's stew? Tell me if there's any left.

the next day, oops.

[hasitsthorns]

[ Unfortunately, Felix will get radio silence from Rose since once she'd met up with Seteth... Well, that was kind of the only thing on her mind for the evening. She was also on him for the evening but, like, details. ]

So, uh. Unless the guy is offering breakfast, pretty sure the stew is gone by now. [ Woops. ] But I do have a recording of the fight so I can give you some stills, if you want.

Also, Corrin may not be getting married? I have to figure that out. I might have jumped the gun but, in my defense, it sure looked like a proposal.

video; un:tactician

[goldenscheme]

[ Oh, hell, he leaves everyone alone for like one day and suddenly there's a fight??? Wait a second, though. His money was absolutely on Felix starting a fight. But Byleth? If that's what's going on, then there's probably a reason for it. ]

Please tell me you caught the beginning of whatever that fight is about.

[ Claude is absolutely the type to encourage bullshit, but he's not the type to come get involved in it unless he has to. He'll convince someone else to get involved if it comes to it, but get involved himself? Enhhhh, well, if it was anyone besides Byleth, probably not. He's more likely to with the professor involved, and absolutely not because he has ~feelings~ about him. That can't be it. Perish the thought. ]

video, the next day!!

[hasitsthorns]

[ Welcome to the jungle, Claude. They've got fun and games. If that's what they're calling fistfights these days, anyway.

But, ring ring. She feels bad about leaving him on read so he's getting a call the next day. ]

Sorry for the late response. You may already know by now but- [ A stretch and a yawn. ] -all I heard was Byleth tell the dude that he "knows what he did" after the big blond Dorito came over and tried to break it up by pulling Byleth off the guy.

[goldenscheme]

Dorito...?

[ Blond...Dorito...

He has no clue in the whole world what a Dorito is. But he knows one blond who might have pulled Byleth off someone. Surely no one but Dimitri would dare.

Anyway, Claude is nosy enough that he did hear most of this. ]

Anyway, I did find out that his Kingliness stepped in there. Byleth must have had a reason, but I'm dying to know what it was.

[ He will eventually just ask Byleth. But first, GOSSIP, apparently. ]

What I didn't hear is how all that ended.

[hasitsthorns]

Yeah, uh- It's a kind of food where I'm from. Shaped like a triangle. [ She makes the motion with her fingers in the video. ] Because, like, damn- Have you seen that dude's shoulder to waist ratio? Insane.

[ Oh, right- How it ended. ]

Uh, well- After blondie pulled Byleth off the guy, he kept trying to goad Byleth into hurting him more. Obviously, a huge masochist. [ Just her two cents, okok. ] Byleth went back for seconds but then he was carted off again by the large dude and that was really it.
