[There is no sunrise today. The only light comes from Camp's buildings, and it seems flashlights are still banned.

On the doors to the Mess Hall and the library are other notes:

It hoards.]

[Camp is in permanent night-time mode! Characters who usually can't go out during daylight hours can now venture forth AT ALL TIMES, WOWWWW. Those who

[There is a set of eyes shining with green light, and they are coming in your direction. From their distance off the ground, whatever they belong to must be as large as a person.]

[What do you do?]

(ooc: open to jumping by anyone!)

The real king is away fighting a war--his brother was regrettably necessary to keep the wolves at bay.

[fistingthing]

Mm, I have heard of similar situations in Thedas' past, during the Exalted Marches.

[redemption_fail]

You come from a place with kingdoms then?

[fistingthing]

Kingdoms, yes, and empires, and city-states. I understand that some do not, and I must admit, I find their methods of governance confusing. The closest I can think of to this idea of 'democracy' is Ferelden, where the land is owned not by the Banns and Teyrns, or the crown, but by the farmholders, and the at the Landsmeet the nobles in theory represent the wishes of the landowners within the breadth of their designated area, and vote on laws and issues. But even there, the King has the final say, assuming the Bannorn does not intend to rise up against him.

[Voting--how novel.]

Someone I know would approve of the 'democracy' they have in the current time. Except he still believes in the king.

[fistingthing]

Mm. I know a few who would feel the same. I do not understand it, myself. Oh, it is a fine idea perhaps, to give all a say in the governance of their homeland, but in practicality, how does it even work?

[redemption_fail]

Ideally, only the best leaders are elected . . . Realistically, that's not going to be the case, is it?

[fistingthing]

Given how easily the average mind is swayed by a pretty face and a glib tongue? Distinctly not.

[redemption_fail]

So it is merely a popularity contest. Ruling by birthright isn't that much better.

[Someone's gone and read some English history . . . It's a miracle that the system of monarchy has lasted for so long.]

[FUCK FUCK GET A SHOT LOADED]

Oh damn it all-

[...wait]

Fenris?

[fistingthing]

Shaun. Thank you for not shooting me, this time.

[sharpasafawkes]

God, you almost had me worried for a moment!

[fistingthing]

And perhaps you think that I was entirely sanguine, knowing that you might attempt to kill me once again? It is hardly my fault that you humans do not have eyes like an elf's.

[sharpasafawkes]

No, but a footpad doesn't go sneaking up on his friends and family just because he's used to doing it, now does he? He tends to give a little warning. Not your fault that you've got eyes like a few of the creatures about, but you could give a fella a little notice, yeah?

[fistingthing]

Oh, certainly. I'll simply call ahead of myself the next time, shall I? As though that is something which could not be imitated.

-bah. I didn't come here to argue with you.
