"Your name is not MOOOON, oKAAAY????"

What kind of music do each of your personas listen to, and which one of the Sonic characters do your personas acts similar to? Answer truthfully and genuinely.

Say, hypothetically, SEGA came out with a total remaster for Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 in one collection. What new features would you want it to add, what would you want them to fix, and what would you want the models to look like?

Lianhua was only feet from the pair, but he could've heard the giggles of men from miles away. While they chuckled over newly printed papers, the old ones laid to the side. Those spoke of a different act than the one that they murmured of; 'disinheritance', it read. Squatting, the boy takes a glance downward to the words, taking that old missive and crafting a bird from its paper.

AVAILABLE EMPLOYMENT FOR THE PALACE SERVANTRY KRUSAE ZWY KONGZEM Issued by the CASTLE CUSTODIAN On the 15th day of Wzuvar ag Byvca of 528 E.S. The role of an attendant is often heavily overlooked. But make no mistake; it is due in part to the work of the servantry that a royal court remain functioning. It is the duty of all servants anywhere to maintain the halls of the palace they serve, and Kastell Lesanov should be no different. With the completed construction of our monarchs’ royal seat, seeing these positions filled are more important than ever. The Court Custodian, alongside their additional duties, is responsible for assigning and maintaining the Esrova Servantry. This includes the conduction of candidate interviews, internal management of its operations and duties, and the appointment of worthy individuals to the Servantry aggregate. Whoever should wish to serve the Crown in this manner shall be paid a yearly salary of 15 mina, including bonuses corresponding to the work they are assigned to do. Room and board shall also be provided to those who do not already have. Anyone interested should send word directly to the Court Custodian. WHAT IS TO BE EXPECTED The Crown favors above all a servant that is diligent and active in their work. However, regarding all open positions, the Crown is seeking those with knowledge in alchemy, astronomy, and medicine, as well as those who have a talent in smithing, tailoring, education and caretaking. Whatever talent you might have will be evaluated by the Court Custodian, and from there, you shall be assigned the position that fits you most.

THE HAUCHMETVAS OF PRINZENAS EMMA ISSUED BY ON THIS 18TH DAY OF JOMA AG UMUND OF 503 E.S. ✧──────────────⊱🜂⊰──────────────✧ OF THE MANY JOYS AND GIFTS that one can experience in a lifetime, none can truly be as delicate and wonderful as the passage of one’s youth. It brings the Crown no greater joy than to invite its denizens to witness the youngest of the Royal Household undertake this journey. Maturing to grasp the concept of her destiny and a greater understanding of our people and the gravity of her position, the title of Princess Royal shall be bestowed upon PRINCESS EMMA ANASTASYA. The Crown has, with help of the general populace, friends, citizens, and allies alike, helped mold our princess into the woman she has so gracefully become. She, in her expressed teachings and tutoring, has studied the stars and constellations to select for this event the perfect date: specifically the night with which the Moon matches her zodiac, and it and the surrounding stars find themselves in a perfect placement for this fateful occasion. Thus, in honor of her decision, the ball’s theme has been named “Glimmering Cosmos”, and guests are urged to dress accordingly, clad in gilded, star-studded outfits. A grand feast in addition to entertainment will be offered to the guests, alongside arcane performances and song. ✧──────────────⊱🜂⊰──────────────✧ Her Royal Majesty, AMAYA OF VENZIA, Queen-Consort of Hanseti and Ruska, Princess-Consort of Bihar, Dules, Lahy, Muldav, Solvesborg, Slesvik and Ulgaard, Duchess-Consort of Carnatia and Vanaheim, Margravine-Consort of Korstadt, Rothswald, and Vasiland, Countess-Consort of Alban, Alimar, Baranya, Graiswald, Karikhov, Karovia, Kaunas, Kavat, Kovachgrad, Kvasz, Markev, Nenzing, Torun, Toruv, Valdev, and Werdenburg, Viscountess-Consort of Varna, Baroness-Consort of Esenstadt, Kraken’s Watch, Kralta, Krepost, Lorentz, Rytsburg, Thurant, Venzia and Astfield, Lady of the Westfolk, et cetera Her Royal Highness, EMMA ANASTASYA, Princess of Haenseti-Ruska, Duchess of Karlsburg

I do not own ANY of the artwork. The original artists are credited. [John Martin c. 1841] MY UNFOUNDED ACCUSATIONS have required me to refrain from my pen and confine myself to the boundaries of Merryweather. But I can not be imprisoned, and I cannot be silenced. I suppose that many would have preferred just that—just another silenced woman, as it were. I inquire the citizens of Aaun, who supposedly yearn to be “free of political burden and secure peace,” how safe do you truly feel? All those that the crown deemed as outlaws have eluded their clutches thrice. Firstly, Ottomar von Augusten, a vampyric creature and recognized terrorist. Then, it was the Queen Mother and myself. When those entrusted with keeping those they arrest are unable to even prevent their escape, can you still harbor faith in their capability, in the face of an impending threat of war? Your crown alone cannot assure your safety, especially when the most imminent threat festers within the heart of your kingdom, orchestrating its demise. I refrained from uttering their name outright, but I shall do so now. If they can act so boldly, I, too, will proceed without fear. The Margraviate of Stassion has continuously fostered intentions to bring your kingdom to ruin. If ever was there an act so impudent, a testament to everything I last said, it was their boldness at court just days past. By constructing a narrative that elevates their fallen comrade to a martyr, they create a conflict that benefits them, regardless of the outcome. Firstly, in the event that the Kingdom of Aaun and its Heartlander allies heed the plea contained in their hastily composed missive, rife with grammatical lapses, Aaun shall place itself in a conflict it cannot prevail in without aid. Those who rally by them will rally under the banner of “self-defense”. Aaun lacks military might; what it possesses are decentralized militias raised by their vassals. In the case of Stassion, these militias’ loyalty often lean toward the lords of their vassal territories, whom they regard as their true sovereigns, more so than the sovereign of their own nation. Should the Kingdom of Aaun lose this conflict, the lords of Stassion shall not be far behind, close at hand to take up the mantle and reclaim the kingdom they lost so recklessly half a century ago—a goal they have pursued since that bygone fall. Secondly, if Aaun remains dormant and disregards the pleas of these Stassion men, they will see it as a grievous injustice. They will allege their King and his council have failed to protect the well-being of their kingdom’s denizens. This perceived injustice will incite a rebellion, for if the people cannot find protection in the Crown, they shall be compelled to seek their own means of defense. The events of the Harvest Revolution shall echo themselves once more, and Aaun, by failing to learn the lessons of the past, shall have crafted their own heaven and hell on this very realm—the age of the Usurper upon us once again. Thankfully, despite both these outcomes, if there is one thing Stassions are remembered for, it is not winning wars. When the realm hears the drums of war, will the people of Aaun gather arms for a man who contributed naught to their kingdom, nor to them, but only to the will of the house that ruled him in life? Will they stand united for a lord who thinks only of the legacy of his fallen lineage over their welfare? Will they be sure that their own King even wears his crown—or have the Stassions taken that as well? For the same King they serve, who is too young to even hold a voice of his own or represent the wishes of his people, sentenced his own mother and blood to imprisonment. And if blood is not safe—something so dear and sacred as House Dresnay proclaims—what, then, shall be done to the people of Aaun? Your days dwindle, men of Stassion. The world has borne witness. The world knows your true nature. You hurl only jeers in my presence because you know what will become of you should you dare strike first. You know what will come for you. Fear courses through you, and I sense it. I heard how a man of Stassion challenged the King's courage before his entire court. I heard how the men of Stassion fled when he answered. If you wish to speak of balls, here we stand—solve the issue yourselves like the men you claim to be, instead of fleeing behind the safety of your masters. You are right; what honor is there in butchering innocents? Only Iblees benefits from the senseless deaths of Canonist men. Is the loss of innocent life not the reason you call for action? Does the death of Louis Dresnay actually mean anything to your people? If you are so certain the King of Haense has no courage, here is your chance to show the world that you do. To the Margrave of Stassion, the Prince of Nothing, if you have been receiving my gifts, I pray you use them to put an end to your own prolonged life, as well as your lineage who has drained the energy of the realm for far too long. I WATCH, AND I WAIT. HER HIGHNESS, Aleksandra of Vidaus, Princess of Merryweather and the Rhine, Landgravine of Alstreim, Baroness of Corwinsburg, Lady of Blackwater

JUST AS SHE THOUGHT her days at the desk over and done, ALEKSANDRA OF VIDAUS found herself taking up her pen once more...

A SOLUTION TO THE BEAVER DAM [The view of the river Lahy, sketched by Princess Emma] WRITTEN BY THE ON THIS 10TH DAY OF JULA AG PIOV OF 501 E.S. ✧──────────────⊱🜂⊰──────────────✧ A PROBLEM LEFT UNCHECKED only begets further problems, a truth recognized by all. While the harsh winter still persists, raging in our capital, the LAHY STRAT has remained clogged for far too long, keeping the water flow backed up. While some might see this issue as trivial, its unseen effects promise to produce far greater issues for our capital if left unaddressed. Due to the beavers that have made the river their home, half of the entire river has dried completely, from Mondstadt to Malkovya, leaving all native river life in that area dead and dried up in its wake. Mondstadt’s water wheel has stopped indefinitely, impending its ability to mill grain for the Crownlands—whose farming is already hindered by the nikirala. Furthermore, it is preventing water from flowing into Malkovya’s territory and into Hyspia’s waterfall. As long as that dam remains, and the lakewater begins to dry, Hyspia too shall find their wildlife affected. The nature around us cannot be ignored; doing so will only harm us. Valdev is the heart and the rivers that surround it are its arteries. And without the arteries, the heart cannot live. I implore the emboldened and the passionate to join me in ridding the city of this environmental threat. Together, we can rehabilitate the beavers while restoring the waterflow to our kingdom, thereby creating a beneficial outcome for all involved. Should you find yourself interested, reach out to yours truly. ✧──────────────⊱🜂⊰──────────────✧ Her Royal Highness, EMMA ANASTASYA, Princess of Hanseti-Ruska, Duchess of Karlsburg Her Royal Majesty, AMAYA OF VENZIA, Queen-Consort of Hanseti and Ruska, Princess-Consort of Bihar, Dules, Lahy, Muldav, Solvesborg, Slesvik and Ulgaard, Duchess-Consort of Carnatia and Vanaheim, Margravine-Consort of Korstadt, Rothswald, and Vasiland, Countess-Consort of Alban, Alimar, Baranya, Graiswald, Karikhov, Karovia, Kaunas, Kavat, Kovachgrad, Kvasz, Markev, Nenzing, Torun, Toruv, Valdev, and Werdenburg, Viscountess-Consort of Varna, Baroness-Consort of Esenstadt, Kraken’s Watch, Kralta, Krepost, Lorentz, Rytsburg, Thurant, Venzia and Astfield, Lady of the Westfolk, et cetera

I do not own ANY of the artwork. The original artists are credited. [Artemisia Gentileschi c. 1623-1625] I WRITE FORMALLY TO ANNOUNCE my resignation from Lady Chamberlain of the Clementine Court. With a heavy heart burdened by the weight of unfinished affairs, I depart, yet bear no remorse in my wake. I have, in service of this nation, undertaken deeds surpassing my many predecessors over half a century, thereby creating a foundational structure that shall foster both order and practicality. I wish naught but earnest success unto all the enlightened members among the court, who aspire to guide our noble assembly towards yet another golden era of prosperity. Yet—if I permit for this affliction to fester unchecked, we shall find ourselves without a kingdom to prosper. I need not utter names, for the ones whom my words are directed are well aware of who they are; the shadow of recognition falls upon you all. Your recent accusations, though delivered with fervor, are void of substance and misconstrued. I make no attempt to malign your character, for your actions serve as the canvas with which your character is painted, visible to all who observe. Your resurgence, nearly half a century following the disappearance of your lineage, can only be attributed to your keen eye for opportunity. Your pathetic ambition only revolves around what your forefather so flagrantly lost, and your methods are akin to that of a parasite. A parasite that clings to the very fabric of this kingdom until it is absorbed into your dominion. I have watched and known of your true intentions since your reappearance in Petra, where you proclaim yourselves as royalty, reclaiming a kingdom that was stripped from your grasp and dissolved from your incompetency to rule. And now, your hubris outshines the jewels on your false crown—perched upon the foundations of a kingdom already constructed for your benefit. It is through the downfall of your family’s realm that this one persists, and thus, the legacy endures. No empire was built in a day, but your progeny taught the world that it could be lost in one. For a house whose elevation transpired through the mere numbers of guards you bring, I beseech you, where were these steadfast sentinels in the face of tragedy? Where were they when the King, whom you swore to shield, found himself ensnared within the watery confines of the palace? Where were they when the very heart of the realm was sieged, leaving both commoners and nobles destitute of their homes? And where, indeed, was this house? While every other peer extended their helping hand, your kinsfolk reveled. Unperturbed within your walls. Deaf to the kingdom’s anguished cries — Preoccupied with hunts and frivolity. Yet now, you claim you speak in His Majesty’s best interest, with smiling faces that conceal the evil that lurks within. This house stands as a testament to its own interest, driven by self-serving motives. What you label as ‘threats’ against your consort were in truth the opportunity to partake in the noble duty of contribution; a task that graces those estates aspiring to nurture not only themselves but the kingdom they have pledged themselves to. Do you not demand that your contribution serve your own interests only? This only became glaringly apparent on the day you arrived at the gates of Merryweather with your gaggle of troops, brandishing threats. Threats that echoed your intent to force your way into my home should you not be granted entry. I suppose you believe the reins of this realm rest firmly in your hands, as all hasten to appease you. Continuing this facade of feigned concern for our kingdom proves futile. The world’s watchful gaze now looks down upon you through the very heart of your deception. I implore the people of this realm, the council, and the king to open their eyes to the undeniable truth. We witness your persistence and insistence on this image of authority, one that calls back to your long-lost kingdom, as though we still dwell within your fallen realm. Perhaps it is time to cast aside your lies and reveal your true nature to the world, for I find it unbearable to live in a nation where your lineage persists in drawing breath. I must thank you for your vital role as a pitiful conclusion in the annals of history, a final remark at the end of another man's legacy. Two distinct paths are laid out before you, as I shall convey to you personally. UNTIL THEN, [St. Jerome and St. Catherine of Alexandria, anonymous ; ca. 1480-90] I PRAY YOUR ASCENSION TO THE SEVEN SKIES GOES UNDELAYED, HER HIGHNESS, Aleksandra of Vidaus, Princess of Merryweather and the Rhine, Landgravine of Alstreim, Baroness of Corwinsburg, Lady of Blackwater

TO ALL OUR KINSMEN IN ARMS Issued by THE CROWN On the 10th of Godfrey’s Triumph, 1943 A depiction of the flood, in traditional Whitespearian style. “And I am the Lord GOD without peer, and My works are the holy works, and My labor is the virtuous labor, and all the strength of the Virtue shall serve the righteous laborer.” (Virtue 4:9) THE DENIZENS OF WHITESPIRE must undoubtedly find themselves awash in fear and despair, their hearts torn asunder by the wailing of the creatures as waves descended on their homes and the panic that ensued in its wake. We were faced with a grievous tragedy, one that has etched its horror onto me and the rest of Whitespire’s citizens. I will never forget the noxious stench that clung to the twin pyres of the deceased as we burned them. I will never forget the innocent babes I held, forsaken within barrels and baskets, forsaken by desperate parents in an attempt for their salvation. Yet, amidst this tragedy and the countless casualties, a blessing did emerge. We bore witness, firsthand, the potential within the hearts of the people in Aaun when joined together as a united force. Upon forging a sacred bond with our fellow comrades, united in pursuit of a noble cause, our spirits have found solace. This encounter has taught us that true reverence does not lie in merely locking eyes with one another, but in fixing our gaze upon a shared horizon. Fellowship is born only when we stand as one, tethered to the same rope, clambering to a common peak. In our hour of need, we draped each other in protection, nourished our souls, and kindled the warmth of camaraderie beneath Merryweather’s embrace. Above all, we stood with one another, as a brother would for his kin. Our evacuation was quick, and those within our reach, we rescued with unwavering diligence. I beseech the people of Aaun to take heed of the impact wrought by their humble deeds, and to envision such endeavors tenfold, for the betterment of our kingdom. I invite you all to rid the streets of this incessant flooding together, hand in hand in unity and resolve. We gather inside the city, carve out a passageway in the walls and streets for the water to escape in the moats around the city, then begin rebuilding the damage caused by the flood. ✿ SIGNED, HER EXCELLENCY, Aleksandra of Vidaus, Princess of Merryweather and the Rhine, Landgravine of Alstreim, Baroness of Corwinsburg, Lady of Blackwater, Lady Chamberlain of Clementine Court

ON THE EXPECTATIONS OF THE ESTATES Issued by THE LADY CHAMBERLAIN On the 9th of Harren’s Folly, 1941 THE ACT OF ENNOBLEMENT, whatever the era or nation, is always an act of great privilege, holding the promise of loyalty and service to the Crown. However, through careful observation, I have seen great decadence enabled amongst our lords—some who, in times when the nation ought to be thriving with progress, have instead choked under the weight of their own indolence. And this cannot stand, for due to the laws of the past, contribution to the Crown is moreso encouraged than it is enforced. This is not the past. We live in different times under a different continent, where the standards ought to be raised higher so that we might see every one of our houses thrive. And what, I ask, is the worth of a house that fails to uphold their vows to the Crown in exchange for a life of decadence and indulgence? Thus, I pen this proposal to add the following amendments to our Great Charter, so that these needs might be met. I bring the following under the consideration of the Crown, and for the Royal Diet to deliberate: I. According to Section III of the Great Charter, a noble estate is “[...] afforded the sole authority to raise militia in the service of their own Estate”. However, due to the vagueness of this statute, the walls of our vassals remain heavily defended while the city of Whitespire itself lacks all military presence; especially at times when that city, the seat of the Crown, is left vulnerable to attack. Therefore, to centralize forces under the service of the Crown itself, let the militias of the Estates be in service to the Crown first and foremost, thereby connecting them to the Legion of Aaun. II. All of the nobility, the Estates and the Peerage alike, ought to be held to specific standards, the likes of which shall determine their standing and rank: Service to the military; including the involvement of noble houses in the Legion and the Knightly Orders, and strong presence when the kingdom is in need of a rally. Service to the government; whether that be serving on the privy or city council, or attendance at the Royal Diet. Service to the courts; including involvement in any of the Offices of the Clementine Court, or a council position within it. Service to the faith; including, but not limited to, service within the church or the Abbey of St. Jude. Finally, service to nation; which regards general involvement in events, court proceedings, and church masses. Each of these services should be expected to be fulfilled by at least one house member. Failure to meet these standards and by proxy, lack of contribution, would result in demotion or revocation of titleage and land under the jurisdiction of the Crown, foremost, or Royal Diet, as stated in Section II, Statute II. III. To ensure that these expectations are met, the authority of enforcing these standards should go to the Grand Peer, conducting occasional audits regarding each house’s performance. SIGNED, HER HIGHNESS, Aleksandra of Vidaus, Princess-Consort of Merryweather and the Rhine, Landgravine of Alstreim, Baroness of Corwinsburg, Lady of Blackwater, Lady Chamberlain of Aaun
