01 ♪ video/action ♪ wake up sleepyhead!
[The feed shows a nice view of absolutely nothing. There is, however, the sound of someone spitting. Very lovely. He just woke up with a mouthful of dead rotting leaves. His day is off to a great freaking start, that's what.]
Ugh, nasty! Ow--... ow... ow. [Don't let the nonchalance fool you. He's realizing he's alive. Taking in a deep breath, and letting it out.
He's alive.
... And also FREEZING COLD. But wait until he finds a way home! This is impossible, but maybe-- just maybe--]
Hahah... jeez, it's c-c-cold. Am I in K-Keterburg or something?
-- Hey, what's...
[And here's when he brushes the journal off. Hello, there's a half-naked redhead getting up close and personal, and turning it upside down, and then shaking it out a bit. What is this strange and mystifying technology? It sure as hell isn't his journal.]
Weird.
[Feeling something tickle his shoulder, he reaches over to brush it off. And then he notices the wings, red with gold tips just like his hair. He has wings. This is not a drill. Luke drops the journal in favor of screaming like the grown man he isn't.]
W-what the hell is going on!?
[NO LUKE DON'T PULL ON THOSE--] —OW! [Yeah, that hurt more than anything else in his life. Now he's curled up over his knees again, trying not to cry. He almost blacked out there.]
G-guess they're real...

Not at all! Jade is with me right now. But you're certainly welcome to join Gailardia in keeping that from happening on his walks.
video;
... You get him to walk your rappigs here, too?
He just can't say no, huh.
video;
[In other words, Peony can be persuasive when he needs to be.]
video;
... I'm supposed to have a usual routine?
video;
video;
[He didn't plan that far. He expected to die before finishing.]

A tour would be great. If Jade isn't interested, though, that's fine. I can ask someone.
video;
[His enthusiasm is in part to keep keep Luke talking so he's sure the red-head's not freezing to death.]
video;
Y-you really don't have to do that, Your Majesty...
video;
[Don't worry Luke, he's just putting words in your mouth. It's a joke, but let's see what you do.]
video;
T-that's not it at all! It's just-- you must be busy and... besides, you're the Emperor...
[Seeing him this flustered must be totally worth it.]
video;
[It's always worth it, and how he missed it.]
video;
[And he realizes he can't tell an emperor what to do.]
...
Forget it.
video;
Did someone reach you yet?
