Who: EVERYONE
Where: By the ocean~
When: Day 199, night

Hello everyone. Did you know that you can put your wishes into a little bit of light? Did you know sending those wishes flying is good fortune?

Please come join me and bring yourself good luck and good fortune. And to hear about what your good fortune is, ask me about it.

[B has set up a lot of paper lanterns a la Tangled for people to send flying into the night. It's very quiet and very peaceful but he's already lit up one lantern to send up into the sky over the water]

Let's light up the night.

[Moves to stand beside them]

Penny for your thoughts, Commander?

[deicider]

[That very abruptly draws Cardigan out of their thoughts. They give Intensity a mild, bemused look, torn between being intrigued and annoyed.]

Commander? That's news to me.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Raises an eyebrow at them.

Wait, did he fuck up the name. ... No, he. doesn't. think. so.

So---]

Is it now?

No more use for nicknames? That's a shame.

[deicider]

[Cardigan raises an eyebrow.]

That's a pretty cute nickname. Check back in a day or so and maybe 'Commander' will come around again. Until then you'll have to think of a different pet name for me.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Can do, but you have to tell me about the new you in the meantime.

Wouldn't want to miss the mark.

[deicider]

[Cardigan seems pleased by this, idly spinning the lantern in their hands as they observe Intensity.]

We should get to know each other mutually; let's take a walk. You can tell me about yourself first.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Offers an arm for Cardigan to take]

Is that generosity, I wonder. Or I am being sized up?

[deicider]

[Cardigan looks at his arm and seems to decide to be pleased about this, as well. They tuck their own arm around Intensity. They smirk up at him.]

I have to make sure you're worthy to name me.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Starts leading them away from the water's edge]

Well, then let's begin with basic introductions.

I'm the aspiring new King of Hell. The old regime has lasted a little too long, don't you think?

...

Or maybe you forgot all that. Either way.

[deicider]

II don't remember, but I did the reading.

How do you plan to rule Hell? Benevolently? Tyrannically?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Benevolent tyrant.

Why box myself in with one extreme or the other? I can do both.

[deicider]

[Cardigan seems delight by this answer.]

And what are your qualifications? Your experience?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I wrested my father's military weapons corporation from him when I was sixteen. And then converted it into a company that specialized in holograms and children card games.

So I know a thing or two about overthrowing a regime and changing the status quo.

Good enough?
