Mission: Attempt to placate the King
>Say: Thou art deceived, O great Majesty. Thou receivest a gentle servant who kneels before the greatness of Thy Blood, the Glorious Worth of Thy Descent...
>Insult whoever this is (maybe spit at him a little): What, ho! Ravenspurgh? Sperg?! Thou art... the Raving-Sperg, the piss-gravel, the goatish keech, the lurching cullion by hagseed tears indrench'd... (you may write in other insults)
>Perhaps offer the king a gift, some entertainment or diversion to distract him from his madness and melancholy. What could that be? (write-in...)
e.g.
>a treasure? A jewel?
>some artifact? A sword?
>a fantastical beast?
>a military conquest, perhaps? A map of conquered territory
>a captive of a subjugated realm? (Oh please, let there be an enslaved barbarian queen...)
>the severed head of a traitor
>a song
>a joke
>a sorcery, a wonder
>an heir? A worthy successor?
>a prophecy
>something else...?
(You can choose as many gifts as you wish; you will be possessed of all. But you have a feeling that agreeing upon just one alone will see its worth greatly strengthened)
>Remain silent. You have a horrible feeling that you must be very brave to utter any words in this court. Turn to the King, slowly shake your head, open your hands, and show him honestly what you have: nothing
>Are there any beauteous court ladies nearby? Now is absolutely the right time to peek around, that will definitely help...?
>Ask: what is this Ravenspurn? Is this England? Who are you? Are you really the King? (panicked look) ... Is everything... on fire?
>You realise the true meaning behind the King's long, rambling soliloquy; perhaps you recognise of what he speaks. Write in what you think he means. Then, after worryingly contemplating how far the QM has truly fallen to l'autisme, draw your sword and kill the King right now.
(You have a feeling the accuracy of your proclamation becomes the temperament of your sword. Surely the game cannot end after just the first choice... right?)
>Do or say something else...?
(To recall a memory, you need only think a question...)
