1st Conquest//Voice+Action

VOICE

Bwahahahah! What is this? A new land, a new people for me to conquer! Amusing. If there are any worthy opponents in this culture-less place, let him come forth to challenge the King!

But I am a busy man, so you had better not keep me waiting.

ACTION

[A very large, very boisterous man trampled down the street. He was looking for a place to sufficiently sate his kingly-hunger]

These are eateries? Proposterous! They barely have enough food stuffs to feed me and my hetairoi! Shameful!

...what's a hetairoi?

[Issei doesn't speak any Greek, you weird giant man. He stopped where he was, eyeing Rider with mostly confusion.]

[lol-waver.livejournal.com]

'Companions'!

[a huge grin and a hard pat on the back]

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

[Ow. That hurt.]

Did any of your companions actually accompany you? If not, then there's no reason to complain at the restaurants' size.

[lol-waver.livejournal.com]

It is the principle of the matter, boy!

[MANRY GRIN]

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

You could complain, but really, Prospero isn't that large a city. It wasn't meant to feed an army.

[Not that he actually knows those are his companions. It's a figure of speech.[

[lol-waver.livejournal.com]

Every city needs to be prepared to house the king and his troops.

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

What if it doesn't have the funds?

[lol-waver.livejournal.com]

If they wish to have the protection of the Capital they have no choice.

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

...I suppose you're the king of something, then.

[lol-waver.livejournal.com]

I am the king of Greece and Asian! And soon the entire world! I am the King of Conquerors and the defeater of the mighty Persian Empire! I am Iksander of Macedon!

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

Well that's certainly impressive.

[It maybe even justifies his lack of volume control.]

I suppose I, err, shouldn't be disrespectful.

[lol-waver.livejournal.com]

You suppose correctly, boy!

[Another hearty laugh and slap on the back]

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

Owwww. Ugh, I can't take that twice in a row, can't you be gentler about that? -And my name is Issei rather than 'boy'.

[Respect is a good idea, but Issei loses track of that when he's in pain.]

[lol-waver.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...'Issei.' An interesting name...

[thoughtful nod]

Very well. I shall allow you to be my vassal.

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

...excuse me?

[lol-waver.livejournal.com]

You seem to have a level head on those shoulders of yours! You could be useful, and I am willing to bestow such an honor!

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

Wh-what... what would being a vassal entail?

[lol-waver.livejournal.com]

Serving me as your King, of course.

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

Let's define 'serving' with specific things I would have to do before I agree to anything because I really could get someone to help me if this goes in a bad direction and I don't have much experience being a servant anyway - the point is that I have no idea what I'm agreeing to if I agree!

[lol-waver.livejournal.com]

Bwahahahaha! You need not worry, m'boy! I would never treat my vassals with anything but respect! All you have to do is make sure I get what I want, and we won't have any problems.

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

...This is a terrible idea.

[But when someone two meters tall with who knows how many pounds of muscle on you tells you to be his vassal, you say yes.]

I-I, um, suppose?

[lol-waver.livejournal.com]

Wonderful! Your first job is to find a decent place for me to get food and drink. Lots of drink.

[Issei may or may not know that Xander here is famous for getting routy drunk and killing his best friends...maybe...]

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

The best place for drink, and lots of drink, would be the bar. It's not too far off - um, can I just give directions? ...No, I'd better lead you.

[What Issei knows about Alexander here: really really good at military conquest, took over a huge empire, spread culture, Greek. That's about it.]

[lol-waver.livejournal.com]

[Well, a Macedonian isn't a Macedonian unless he gets plastered drunk and challenges a few people to the death...]

Hm, this 'bar' sounds an excellent choice! Very well then, Issei!

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

[Wondering if this is really what his life has come to, Issei starts heading off in the direction of the bar. Luckily - unluckily? Something? - the bar isn't too far away.]

This is the bar. The best place for large quantities of alcohol to be found in the city, Your Majesty.
