#madam fantomet

[citizensofeggtonarchived]

Fantomet would glare at Tangle upon hearing them speak and with the rather annoying sound of hearing the rapping of the riffraff's tail against the floor, yet she didn't even seem to think twice about how the other's tail changed shape. "It's Madam Fantomet to you and only speak when spoken too," the fennec said before returning her attention to Vix. "As I was say-" Suddenly she stopped talking upon seeing the look on Vix's face.

"I believe I made myself crystal clear that this was my guest and to treat her with RESPECT," Vix said, putting extra emphasis on the word respect just she wasn't being completely clear with her stepmother. "I am aware my father always took your council and I will as well, but you will NOT undermine my decisions. As I said, if you truly have a concern with my choice then call a meeting with me and the council, understood?" The fennec asked, allowing her magic to steep out which caused the air to feel as if it was thicker than normal.

"...Crystal," Fantomet said, knowing very well that trying to strong arm Vix was an impossible task, especially when she made up her mind on something. "On to another matter. Could you at least inform the guard after you've dealt with an attacker? I nearly tripped over them seeing as they were left in the middle of the hall." The fennec continued to do her best to ignore the fact that Tangle was still in the room.

"Ah, I thought I forgot about something. Typically Kong will notify a clean up crew, though he is currently busy with other matter. Please forgive the sudden request, though may I trust you to summon someone to take them away?" Vix wasn't used to having to stay for clean up as she was extremely busy and often let Kong take care of something as minor as that. The fennec supposed most of her attention was on giving Tangle a tour of the castle.

"Very well, though do try to remember next time," Fantomet said before turning to leave, though not before giving Tangle one last glare. With that the fennec left the room and took a lot of tension with her.

Once Fantomet had left the room Vix was quick to turn her attention back to Tangle. "I offer my sincerest apologizes for my stepmother. It seems having my father's ear for so many years has made her forget that she isn't in charge, though I assure you I will not allow her to speak to you in such a manner again." The fennec could say she even felt embarrassed for the way her stepmother acted, yet none would know seeing how she keeps her demeanor calm at all times. "If there is anything I can do to make it up to your then please, let me know."

She knew all to well that the world was a cruel place. That it could snatch what you loved away in the blink of an eye. But Eggman was just a different kind of monster. He couldn't be reasoned with, he had no remorse, and he couldn't be stopped. He would simply keep doing what he was doing till there was nothing left. To think Belle was created by such a horrid man, still baffled her. But she didn't know what these people were capable of--- but she wanted them to know what they were up against.

She wasn't to worried about the device, she knew Tails probably built a fail safe to prevent tampering. It made sense to her at least, and he already had the long talk about not letting it out of her sight. Still she did smile at Vix and wouldn't have minded meeting her sister! She was pretty fascinated by this world so far, and was naturally curious about it and the people within.

" Can't be worse then tryin' to keep up with Tails... and i do try! Thankfully Sonic usually keeps him speakin' common! haha "

She did find it amusing how Sonic did it and the brotherly bickering those two had. It made her long for that kind of relationship with her own brother. But Zack and her relationship was still very strained...

" do I? ah i get it from Uncle... he's always had these bad jokes i guess it rubbed off! Sonic likes it though, can't really be all bad if the Hero of Mobius digs it! "

There conversation was cut off rather abruptly by the door swinging open and Tangle placed her hands behind her back. She could already tell this wasn't gonna be a fun conversation. The way the other spoke, and being called a riff raff! boy was she having some flash backs to high school! this was kind of girl Tangle would have gotten a detention for pummeling! still she bit her tongue, she knew when to keep her trap shut!

" Hi... I'm Tangle... "

Her eye twitched slightly, the urge was strong to pummel her! so strong her tail had formed a large hand and was rapping its fingers on the floor!

" Its a... pl...pleasure Miss...Ma'am... Madam... lady person..."

"Oh, I wasn't aware you didn't need food, though I'm glad it is still made to your tastes." Kit was more than a bit surprised to hear the Surge didn't require the need to eat which raised a few more questions in her mind, though they would be somewhat personal so best not to ask. The Queen did wonder if that was common among Mobians or it was unique to the tenrec.

"I can see why you're surprised Friedrich is married, though I can say he softens up quite a bit around her. Of course she is rather stern much like him so I can see why they're attracted to one another." Kit would best describe his wife as Friedrich, though maybe a bit scarier. "Of course it isn't often I see her since she takes care of the kids." The Queen couldn't even recall the last time she saw Friedrich's wife.

Fantomet wasn't taking the fact that now both were ignoring her very well as even with the veil on her face one could tell her eye was twitching by the way it moved where her eyes were. Thus they all ate without much incident with the fennec stood up. "Well, it was nice catching up, though I must return back to the castle. Much to do." She'd then leave without another word.

Kit was a bit surprised at how swiftly her mother departed as she didn't even get a chance to wish her well. "I guess my step-mother has much to do. Well, that doesn't mean we can't have a good time, right?" The fennec asked offering a smile to Surge. It seems the Queen couldn't even bring herself to bad mouth Fantomet even when she wasn't there.

{{ L }} "That's fair." Seemed unfair to have such a heavy burden placed on Kit's shoulder, personal Surge would let the bastard die, but that was mostly due to her negative experiences with her own father and hatred of monarchs.

"Not like I NEED food, but it taste nice so fuck it, might as well enjoy it. Wait, that fucker has kids? Heh, seemed like too much of a stick in the mud to stick his dick in some bitch, good for him."

Oh, poor, poor Fantomet. Surge still wasn't ready to announce or even acknowledge the other's existence. She would have to wait her turn.

[cxffeeshxp]

{{ L }} "Madam Fantomet? Motherfuckers really got some weird ass names 'round here. Nah, fuck that. Don't want to know about her. Kit... the dorky Kit, said I should tell you to join us." Surge huffs, hands shoved into her pockets. Kitsunami quietly observing Friedrich and soldiers.

"Apparently you keep Mommy Dearest in check, so best someone keeps her in check before she gets checked." Threatening to assualt a royal probably wasn't the best idea, but it wasn't like this was a first for Surge. Kit knew what she was getting into by getting so close to the other wordly tenrec.

[citizensofeggtonarchived]

Vix was quick to take notice how Tangle seemed to be struggling with the subject of Eggman, perhaps a personal reason so best not to ask about it, at least for now. "Well, I truly wish I could promise you such a thing, though the world is a cruel and unforgiving place. The only thing I can promise is to keep everyone I can safe to the best of my ability." The fennec would leave it at that for now as while her statement was a bit grim it was the truth at the end of the day. The High Queen still couldn't help but wonder just what kind of person Eggman given the lemur's reaction. Perhaps she should consider sending in Twee and her team to investigate rather than some average soldiers if he was as big of a threat as he seems to be. Though she'd take care of that in private.

"Well, I look forward to when we'll be able to have an exchange of our fighting styles." Vix herself was skilled in many different forms, though had been trained since birth in order to defend herself against most threats. "Oh, I'll make sure they only perform a simple scan of the device and nothing more, at least without your consent should a more pressing problem arise with it." The fennec did have doubts there was too much wrong with it as it still functioned, just took Tangle to the wrong place, though if there was a problem then she'd call her sister to look at it before anyone else.

"I'll have to introduce you some time, though I'll make sure she doesn't derail into the topic of her work as she can be a bit too enthusiastic about it sometimes." Vix could admire that, though there were times where Kit could restrain herself just a bit, yet always found it hard to say no to her little sister. The fennec chuckled a bit at the joke as it was rather humorous to her along with the second joke earning Tangle another bit of chuckling. "I must say, you have the same kind of humor as my father. I'm sure you two would have a good time sharing jokes with each other." The High Queen knew most found her father's sense of humor rather dull, though it always got a laugh or chuckle from her. "Yes, Flora has a long and rich history here. Even some of our oldest scholars haven't read everything in the royal library." It was a rather large collection that even the most dedicated haven't finished. Her attention would shift upon hearing the library doors open rather harshly to which another fennec could be seen walking towards them.

"Vix," she said as she stopped right in front of the two. "I was surprised to hear that this intruder wasn't thrown in a cell by you over turning my order. Care to explain why you allow this, riffraff, to freely walk the halls of our castle?" The fennec asked, seeming to make an effort to ignore the fact that Tangle was standing right there. "What would your father think about allowing such an irresponsible action to take place?"

Lovely, this is the last thing Vix wished to deal with while giving a tour to her guest. "There was no reason seeing as personally cleared my guest of any suspicion with the help of a truth stone." The fennec had kept it out of view of the lemur when questioning her, though that was to insure no foul play could happen. "I would also watch your tongue as she is a guest of mine so you will treat her with respect. As for father, he put me in charge knowing I wouldn't make any rash or foolish decisions. If you truly have any concerns about my choice then you are free to hold a meeting with me and the council about it."

Once her Uncle probably would have loved to see other worlds, or places! She liked to think she got her pension for adventure from him after all. But these days? He spent his days meditating and had to call her to get his groceries. He was pretty old now that she considered it, but she didn't like to think of him that way. She still saw him as the cunning old codger who use to bonk her on the head! Still it was a nice thought at least!

She got herself to calm down about Eggman, she guessed she could get passionate about it. But after the Zombot Virus it was hard for her to think of Eggman as anything less then a real monster, she found herself back at the Window looking out at the fighters and using the moment to calm down. Focus, and get her shaking hands to stop as she focused on the big ape in the distance.

" ... Look, i just dun wanna see anymore folks get hurt that's all. "

This topic was one she thought best left alone for now. Was alot she could say but perhaps at another time. Perhaps with Tails there to back her up, but those memories were ones she didn't remember to fondly. Flashes of being infected flittered through her head and for a moment it looked like she might even break down. But the moment faded as she focused on other topics.

" Hehe! oh yea! I bet he'd love it! and maybe i can, depends on when this thing recharges! I wouldn't mind really, maybe i'll learn a thing or two! "

" Well... I mean i dun mind if ya look, but probably shouldn't poke around at it less we gotta. Tails is smartest guy i know maybe the smartest Mobian period. I trust his tech to get me home... unless its busted i dun wanna risk breakin' it ya know? "

Yea Tails was sure a smart guy, she hadn't known him to long. But she was in her twentys and he was younger then her, maybe 16? Truthfully she didn't know his age. He never talked about it. But he owned his own corporation, had his own labs, and had been fighting Eggman since he was knee high to a grass hopper. He was making crazy gizmos back then! he'd only gotten smarter according to Sonic, so yea she trusted him.

" Ah your Sis reminds me of my little brother. He was always a big nerd as a kid, couldn't make heads or tails of his techno babble. Use to nod my head and pretend i know what he was on about... i should introduce him to Tails some day! bet those two have alot to talk about--- or nerd out over! "

Listening to the fairy tail about the stretchy snake was interesting, she never found her tail to be all that interesting. It was just part of her and she viewed it as just that, something mundane. But she guessed it was pretty wild, and there was only one tail like hers! But she couldn't help but show it off a little bit!

" Well it certainly comes in Handy! when i'm in a pinch! "

The joke was terrible and she wasn't apologizing!

" Still took alot to learn to control ita s a kid. But i am kind of attached to it! "

She was more then a little started at the sudden appearance of the Assassin. She hadn't even sensed him which, she wasn't as keen as Whisper but still. Had they been hidden by magic? She had alot of question even if Vix handled it. But she snapped her jaws closed and simple opted to leave those for later. So people were out to get her? made sense she as a queen---did Blaze deal with this sort of problem she wondered?

She followed Vix through the door into the Library and did a little spin to look at all the books and shelves! Reminded her of Jewels old home, and there study. Only like 20x's the size of that, or even 100x's! She was pretty taken with wonder!

" My friend could live a lifetime in here and never read half these books! and she loves library's! "

[citizensofeggtonarchived]

"I know, though I'm still going to do my best." Kit couldn't simply sit by when she was had the talent and skills to possibly come up with a cure for her father. It did have a heavy toll on the fennec being given such a hard task along with running the kingdom while her sister is acting High Queen, though was still managing to get by.

"I'm glad you were given enough food. Friedrich was always good guessing how much one could eat, though I suppose that's what happens when you have as many kids as him." Kit could say she's never met them, though he talks about them from time to time. "I do hope you enjoy the food and if you wish for more simply ask." The fennec would make sure Surge wouldn't be leaving without getting full.

Fantomet was quick to realize how she was pushed out of the conversation as it seems her attempts to stir drama were finally stopped in it's tracks. Could the fennec try and pick it back up? Of course, though directly starting something wasn't her method. She normally played off other's statements. "Well, do enjoy it. I'm sure you must be getting back to your world soon, yes?"

{{ L }} "... Must be nice." Surge, let slip. "Well, if it's incurable, don't fret if he does kick the bucket. People die after all." Though Surge wasn't sure her or Kit could, least not by the normal means, but that wasn't something she thought about often. Fantomet once again was ignored by the tenrec.

Once the chief arrived, Surge's attention shifted from the new topic to her meal, which was more than she expected, but she could handle it. "Nice."

[citizensofeggtonarchived]

"Oh, um, I actually have a fantastic relationship with my father so I don't intend to let him go that easy." It seemed Surge was the one who struck Kit with a heavy blow this time, though she was well aware she meant nothing by it unlike her step-mother. "Maybe we could dial it back to the topic of the portal system, yes?" The Queen's not so subtle way of wishing to change the subject at this point in time.

"My, and people say I'm heartless. Not even I would wish someone to give up on their own father though I suppose some people have no standards at all." Fantomet seemed keen to stay on the subject despite how Kit was trying to shift the conversation once more. Truly this woman was trying her best to cause problems.

Why must Kit's step-mother insist on making everything worse? It's as though the woman couldn't go even a day without causing drama. It was as if though it were her entertainment. Thankfully the tension was somewhat interrupted with the chief coming in, welling a tray with several plates of food. "Oh, that smells lovely. Thank you so much," the Queen said with some new found energy as her plate of food was served. Both Kit and Fantomet were having roasted turk with mash potatoes. The chief would then put give Surge her plate with three burgers, each have triple patties.

{{ L }} "Gives your father counsel? That a fancy way of sayin' she's just a good fuck? 'Bout the only thin' that mouth can do, other than talk sum' BULLSHIT." Definitely on Kit forgetting just how freely Surge spoke, no matter who she was speaking too.

Surge could address what Fantomet said, but clearly that wouldn't be as fun as ignoring the taller bitch. "Huh, so the skank expects you to do all the work in savin' the old man? Heh, I say let him kick the can, if that bitch is anythin' to go off of your parents ain't shit and can kick rocks. Less you got a good relationship wit' him but... I doubt it. Father's ain't shit."

[citizensofeggtonarchived]

Oh dear, Kit could tell there was a small bit of tension in the air, now feeling even worse about having asked Surge to come despite knowing her dislike of most royals. The Queen would just have to break the ice. "So, me and my stepmother were just going over all the steps we're taking to establish new allies from different worlds." The fennec was sure that'd be a good starting point.

"I believe you mean what Vix is doing while you stay in the safety of the castle, though I believe that's how it's always been. Vix does all the work so you don't have to put any effort into running the kingdom," Fantomet said with a smirk followed by taking another sip of her tea. It seemed the older fennec was ready to jump at the chance to belittle Kit.

"Oh, yes, I suppose my work on a portal hub is nothing compare to what Vix does." Kit knew what her stepmother was doing, yet it was true that her elder sister was doing the harder of the task seeing as they had no clue what threats were in other worlds. Doesn't change the fact the fennec was allowing her stepmother to walk all over her. "Of course we shouldn't count Twee out as I've heard she's helped many worlds with their threats." The Queen knew how her younger sister was a bit too excited for battle.

{{ L }} Had it been anyone else they would have bowed and gave a fuck about Fantomet's status.... Surge wasn't anyone.

"Uh huh."

Surge waves off the other, hands in her pockets, eye contact not made as she took her spot seat nice to Kit. She caught the brief exchange and noted Kit shift in demeanor upon her arrival. Clearly this bitch didn't know how to treat Kit like a mother should, not that Surge would know having had no mother that she knew of.

[citizensofeggtonarchived]

Well, Friedrich supposed that was a fair statement as they weren't from this world, though his instincts told him that there was most likely another reason behind it. The gamba wasn't expecting the correction, though saw no reason not to comply with the request. With that he went to inform the chief of the orders and continue his tasks.

After several minutes of twist, turns, and a number of stairs the guard led Surge to where Fantomet and Kit were. The two sitting at a decently sized table which had three other chairs that were empty.

"Well, it must be easy to simply sit around while Vix goes out to make treaties with other worlds," Fantomet said, followed by taking another sip of her drink. It would seem Surge came in the middle of the conversation.

"With all due respect, Honorable Stepmother, you seem to have been misinformed. I've had to establish a proper currency exchange, visitor passes, and a hub portal system while keeping up on my royal duties and finding a cure for father." Kit seemed to be at her wits end, her happy go lucky demeanor seeming to be on the verge of breaking. Then the Queen noticed Surge coming over to the table.

"Oh, Surge, I'm so glad you decided to join us. Please, have a seat next to me," Kit said as she motioned to the chair next to her own as her happy self returned in an instant. The Queen was thankful Surge showed up as she was close to losing her cool. "Dearest Stepmother, this is my guest Surge. She's from what they call a 'Zone' by the name of Mobius."

Fantomet was a bit surprised that someone showed up as while Kit did mention a guest of hers might attend it sounded like the chances were low. "Fantomet, though to you, it's Madam Fantomet." The stepmother was going to make her status crystal clear, though was clearly unaware of Surge's abrasive nature.

{{ L }} "Yeah, he aware. Ain't stoppin' the fact he rather stay outta site, still skeptical of all of y'all, I am too." Skepticism that is hard to do away with, not with all that have dealt with.

"It's just Surge, I ain't wit' that formal bullshit, keep it for the royals and shit." Surge would correct before following the canine guard assigned to escorting her.

She hoped she didn't regret agreeing to this.

[citizensofeggtonarchived]

Oh dear, Kit knew Surge was an abrasive person, though clearly she hadn't seen just how willing the other was to freely speak their mind, regardless of it was, though it seemed to be only in response to her step-mother's comments. "O-Oh, um, my step-mother offered my father counsel and she is a skilled diplomat, though with my sister has acting High Queen her focus is more on aiding my Vix with advice should she request it." The fennec would just calmly defuse the situation. Not like it could get any worse.

Fantomet was more than irritated at Surge's comment as most don't have the nerve to disrespect her in such a way, though for once her hands were tired due to the fact she was Kit's guest and from another world. The last thing she should do was get on Vix's bad side by causing a problem with acts of violence. However she to could voice her more abrasive opinions. "Now you know what I bring, I'd like to know what it is you do. Are you some hired help or perhaps just a plaything for Kit to fool around with?"

It got worse, it got so much worse. Maybe branching off the question about her father could divert this rather intense dispute. "Oh, I'm just trying to find a cure for an other wise incurable tumor to prevent my father's slow and painful demise." The Queen was quick to realize she was way to blunt with her wording as even Fantomet's attention was on her.

{{ L }} "...Uh huh."

Any other person would hold their tongue in the face of royalty, even when said royalty was being a condescending bitch, but Surge wasn't any person. "Makin' a portal hub ain't nothing to be shrugged off, so.... what's the tall skank workin' on? Heard her talkin' shit but wouldn't be surprised if she ain't do a fuckin' thing herself." Which a scoff, Surge propped her shoes up on the table. "Yo, what's this 'bout helpin' yo old man?" She asks, her gaze never leaving Kit even as she rudely comments about Fantomet.

[citizensofeggtonarchived]

Vix would listen to the lemur explain the situation which seemed to be a standard case of portal miscalculation, a common occurrence that happens here as well. "Well, I would be more than happy to offer any assistance in figuring out what went wrong. We have many skilled portal experts in the land of Flora so I'm sure we can discover what when wrong with your portal travel. In the mean time I will arrange a place for you to stay," The fennec said was sure that they didn't have any place to stay seeing as they didn't seem to be aware of where they were so she would do her best to offer any help she could.

"I suppose introductions are in order. I am Vix Darling, acting High Queen of Flora," Vix said, offering a small bow of her head as she gave her name and title. "I must say, it is lucky you didn't end up in avian territory. They aren't as kind to unexpected visitors." The fennec was well aware how the current royal of the avian's were rather hostile to those who don't make a proper request to travel though their mountains. "Though let us return to the castle for now." The High Queen's staff would glow a dim golden color for a moment before the portal from before opened up once again. What she wasn't expecting were several guards to come out along with a rather large lion wearing the clothing of a monk.

"I do hope there is a reason for this unannounced summon seeing as I have everything completely under control." Vix was sure they've been keeping an eye on the situation from the castle so failed to see why they came out of the portal at all. "It had better be a good reason as well." The fennec wasn't in the mood to hear any excuses.

"Forgive me your Highness, though Madam Fantomet requested us to come and arrest the invader," The lion spoke, though seeing as Vix didn't see a point he held up a hands for the guards to remain idle. "I do have my orders, though you clearly have high authority than her so what do you wish to do here?" He was going to listen to the High Queen before anything else.

"Go back to the castle and tell my stepmother she has no reason to worry. She is no invader, it was a simple case of portal miscalculations and nothing more and will be our guest until she can return home. Should she have any concerns tell her to bring them to me directly first." Vix doubt that her stepmother was worried more so just abusing her power, though she was still married to her father and she would play nice. With that the guards went back though the portal.

"I do hope you'll forgive my stepmother for such a hasty action. We've been having a small issue with proper portal management from visitors that come from other worlds." Vix hoped this didn't leave a bad impression on the lemur. "If there is anything I can do to make it up to you then please, let me know."

She didn't mind the walk after all she was a country girl. She grew up far away from the big cities. She relished those long walks in the woods and spent her days training herself mind body and---ok mostly just body! Mightys training had been going well, least she thought so, she was never sure if she understood half of what he told her but she did it all the same. Yet she was still confused, She should have ended up close to where ever Carol was but, she had feeling something was off. Tails was always warning her that these jumps could go bad, its why he did all that calibration stuff.

Her thought broke mid way as some form of energy ripped open a gateway of some kind. Somewhat like the new warp rings, or eggs weird portals. Sure enough someone stepped through, and while other people would have been on guard or assumed the worst! Tangle was not them and she saw zero reasons to assume anything! People were all good in her book---till they weren't. Till then she'd assume the best in people! Like Uncle always said! If you assume the worst, you'll manifest your fear. So stay positive! and smile! a lesson she got bonked into her head one two many times!

" OH Uhh... howdy! "

She said with a wave of her hand! in the most country girl way she could have!

" Flora? ...Country huh... well fiddle sticks..."

" Huh, guess i ended up in the wrong country? or something? sorry i dun know much about this techno stuff! i was tryin' to go see a friend... and i ended up here. Guess i missed the mark... "

[citizensofeggtonarchived]

"Oh, my step-mother just as an 'interesting' way to show she cares. I just try not to cause any tension between us. I mean, she is still my step-mother after all. Besides, I think it better to win people over with kindness." Kit believed as long as she was nice enough she could win everyone over and what good could come about being hostile.

"If I may interject, this is one subject you're wasting your breath on. Her Majesty refuses to see the bad side in people. She is both infuriating and endearing in the regard," Friedrich said as he entered the room which he was now able to do after hearing Fantomet had finally left. He too had tried to convince Kit the flaws of that dreadful woman, though his words have failed to reach her as of yet. "I am surprised you managed to get her to leave so swiftly. Madam Fantomet has a talent for getting under people's skin." The gamba was glad there was someone to act as a buffer.

"Well, in my experience you often win people over with kindness than rudeness, though I suppose my step-mother must've respected Surge's direct nature." At this point one could assume Kit was just foolish or simply acting stupid about why Fantomet had left so quickly. The fennec making it far to clear she was too nice for her own good.

{{ L }} "Don't be stupid, shortie. That skank left because she wasn't gettin' the attention she so desperately desired. You willin'ly give it to her. I'm not sure why you let yo ass get pushed around so much by that bitch. Do you love bein' a fuckin' doormat?" Surge's tone more sincere than usual. There was no reason Kit just let herself get pushed around so much by Fantomet, not with everything on her plate.

Fantomet clearly enjoyed putting Kit down.

"You got to be more assertive and not such a pussy, now I don't expect you to have the balls I do but can expect you to tell that bitch to choke." Kit my have said her relationship was better with her father but... Surge wasn't sure the father was any better given how much of a bitch Fantomet was.

[citizensofeggtonarchived]

Friedrich wasn't sure what to make of that statement, though to each their own. The gamba was sure Fantomet was going to have a hard time trying to belittle Queen Kit with Surge there which he was thankful for since he can't attend himself. "I'll make sure the chief prepares a couple in case one isn't enough." He was unsure how much the tenrec ate.

Friedrich then watched Kit propelled himself up to the height of the ceiling before flying off. "He is aware he can freely walk the halls, correct? He is free to travel how he wish's, just thought I'd mention it." The gamba wasn't going to say the vulpine wasn't allow to travel the castle the way he was, though it seemed tiring to him. A small beeping sound could be heard coming from him as he shut off a device on his wrist. "Seems I'm a bit behind so I must take my leave. You, please escort Miss Surge to where Queen Kit and Madam Fantomet are," he said, pointing to a canine guard walking by who simply nodded. They motions Surge to follow before starting to walk the opposite way of the two.

{{ L }} "Well, money dont matter to us. We broke." And Surge was fast enough she could steal samn near anything she wanted anyway, or overload an ATM, if those were a thing in this world, so if she wanted money, it was no problem.

"Hmph, a burger... or anythin' meaty. I ain't that picky." Surge shrugs. "What about you, Kit?"

"...I am fine, food is not needed. I'd like to explore the castle more, tho." Without warning, the small vulpine propelled themselves toward the ceiling just before zipping away down the hall. Not many seemed to look up a so Kit would continue to use the ceiling as a method to hide himself.

[citizensofeggtonarchived]

"It's not so much that, it's more so no one dares to cross her since she is is married to the King, even if she's only the third wife. Those who are brave enough she can usually bribe with a hefty amount of money, though if she can't control you by fear or with money then there isn't much she can do. Provided you aren't a threat that is." Friedrich couldn't say that happened often as everyone knew what would happen if you were a threat to the Kings wife.

"However I can't spare much time. Still much to do." Friedrich hated all this work as it was only meant to keep him busy and away from Fantomet. "I'll have a guard lead you to where Madam Fantomet and Queen Kit are, though first what will you be having for lunch so it can be prepared." The gamba was mainly talking to Surge as he was only informed she would be attending, though would be ready for Kit's order as well if he goes too.

{{ L }} "Tch, yeah. I can do that shit, ain't like I don't say what I want anyway." Rarely did the tenrec ever have a censor Kit knew how his sister operated by now. And soon so would this Fantomet bitch. Ugh, why had Surge agreed to do this shit. Still could understand why she even let the Queen sucker her into spending so much time with her. .

"From the sound of it, Fantomet has an issue with speaking before she thinks if the fear of her words getting out can shut her up."

"Ah, I believe she must've misspoken by mistake, though that is common when she is on edge and Madam Fantomet always puts Queen Kit on edge." Friedrich was sure it wouldn't be much of a problem if Queen Kit would stand up for herself, though that isn't likely to happen anytime soon. "Even though I wish to attend she's made it so I have far too many tasks to do such a thing." The gamba had to admit the woman was crafty that way.

"I can offer you advice if you wish for her to keep herself in check." Friedrich may not know Surge at all, though from what he's been told by the guards and Queen Kit she'd be the best person to keep Madam Fantomet in some sort of line. "Honestly, make your distaste for her words clear and how you'd be more than willing to let everyone know what she says. She puts great effort into maintaining her repetition and will avoid any damage to it. I'm sure you aren't one to be bribed to remain quiet and I doubt she'd take to using force as you are Queen Kit's guest and from another world for that matter. If anything there's a chance you can get away with saying whatever you want to her, at least within reason. Just try not to get too out of hand." The gamba didn't want the tenrec to get too crazy with what she said.

{{ L }} "Madam Fantomet? Motherfuckers really got some weird ass names 'round here. Nah, fuck that. Don't want to know about her. Kit... the dorky Kit, said I should tell you to join us." Surge huffs, hands shoved into her pockets. Kitsunami quietly observing Friedrich and soldiers.

"Apparently you keep Mommy Dearest in check, so best someone keeps her in check before she gets checked." Threatening to assualt a royal probably wasn't the best idea, but it wasn't like this was a first for Surge. Kit knew what she was getting into by getting so close to the other wordly tenrec.

Friedrich was in the middle of instructing a handful of soldiers. "Double check any back entrances, make sure everyone who isn't a guard has proper identification, and keep everyone clear of the west wing until further notice," the gamba said which earned him salutes from the men before they rushed off. He then turned to Surge and Kit before either of them even announced themselves.

"Queen Kit managed to inform me that you may have some questions in regards to Madam Fantomet. I know you like to move quickly so I will answer them as plain and fast as possible." Friedrich was in a rush himself as he still have to get orders to the kitchen, make sure everyone was at their proper posts, and be at his post. Madam Fantomet seems to make sure he isn't anywhere near her or Kit which he had expected.

{{ L }} "Ugh, fine." Watching the other awkwardly walk off Surge couldn't help arch a brow at the other. Such a strange woman.

Once Kit was far enough away, Surge's Kit would float down from the ceiling.

"So... Are you going to this to meet her stepmother? Doesn't seem like Kit wants to go." Kit comments following the tenrec.

"It'll be a fuckin' pain but if the bitch pisses me off she'll regret it. Come on, I've got to go meet. Friedrich." All of this a bother to surge, but she would attempt to play nice.
