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. ]

[ _{As the network screens illuminate and ring out with the bellowing sound of Rosie's enthusiastic drunken voice, Corrin can't help but divert his attention to the screen out of curiosity to observe what she may be broadcasting.} ]

Hm...? What's going on?

[fatefulprince]

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAA--!?!?!!??!??!!?

[ _{APOLOGIES TO ANY EARS IN THE VICINITY WHO HEARD HIM SCREAM BUT: HOLY FUCKING SHIT} ]

[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. ]}

[cinderhulk]

Congratulations.

May your mate be worthy.

[fatefulprince]

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

[zephyrsvow]

Yes...

[ ...though, now that the idea is in his head, he's not going to stop imagining it.

Oh no. ]

I'll try to be more careful of my actions in the future, if this is going to be the result.

[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.

[fatefulprince]

[ _{there's an audible THUNK as Corrin faceplants the table. his voice is muffled as he WHINES. like a child.} ]

Why does the afterlife suck!? Why does it suck SO bad!?? It sucks, Kaze! It sucks!! I'd rather go home and eat dirt than spend another day in this weird place!!

[fatefulprince]

TH-- T-THAT'S QUITE ALRIGHT THANK YOU VERY MUCH! NO SKULLS NEEDED HERE!!

[ _{BREATHE, CORRIN.} ]

I-I promise you! He's not my fiancé! He's my royal retainer -- he protects me from harm because I'm a prince! I-It's his duty!

[cinderhulk]

I could still find you a skull if you wish. It is a wonderful gift to look down at your dead foe and be satisfied in your victory.

[people love skulls, she's pretty sure]

I see. That does actually explain quite a bit. Still, can a retainer not also love his prince?

[fatefulprince]

I'd really, really, really rather not have a skull! Anywhere! Ever! I-I like things when they are alive!!

[ _{HE IS THE BIGGEST PACIFIST ON PLANET EARTH AND SKULLS ARE THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT HE WANTS AS A GIFT!!!!!} ]

M-Maybe they could!? But Kaze and I aren't in love!

[cinderhulk]

...Oh. I see.

[that is so disappointing but okay you do you]

Then I suppose this is simply hot air coming from some woman. A very unfortunate announcement that amounted to little.

Well, at least Byleth had a good time.

[zephyrsvow]

I do share the sentiment of wanting to go home as well, milord. But, I'd rather you not eat dirt, as that can be rather dangerous.

Also, please don't hurt yourself...

[ He's probably still relatively close by for obvious reasons. ]

[fatefulprince]

[ _{DON'T.......... REMIND HIM.................} ]

G-Good... ti--...Mmmmhmm... Uh huh... G-- Good t- t--time... .... ....

[ _{and for the second time tonight, he faceplants the table.} ]

[cinderhulk]

What are you wilting about now? Look at that form! What a fine victory.
