Hello out there. The name's Euge--wait. [ He doesn't know how often Rapunzel tunes into this thing, but he'd better play it safe. If she catches wind of what he's doing, she'll get curious. And if she gets curious, the surprise'll be ruined.

He clears his throat. ] Lance. The name's Lance. 

Now, I'm here today because I've found myself in a bit of a pickle. You see, I need some speakers. I'd buy them myself, of course, but I'm a liiittle short on funds right now. Which is why I was hoping someone out there could help a guy out.

I only need them for a night, and I swear you'll get them back in one piece or my name isn't...whatever it is I said before.

So, how about it? Do we have a deal?

[She believes him uncritically.] Hmm... I'll grant that it's certainly unique, but I hope they thought it through. Children can be terribly cruel about that sort of thing if they don't know any better.

I've never heard of Corona before, but those names seem rather English or American to my ears! [He'd said kingdom.] So where you're from is a monarchy?

[princeadjacent]

[ He hums in agreement when she mentions children being cruel, but doesn't say much else on the topic. It hits a little close to his actual backstory, and while he's not exactly avoiding talking about the Real Eugene Fitzherbert: A Memoir, he also doesn't see the need to get too real and bring down the mood. ]

Yeah, it's a monarchy. Pretty much everywhere is these days, or...where I'm from, I guess?

I'm gonna be honest, I still have some trouble wrapping my head around how this place works, Vis a vis people coming from different times and worlds, apparently.

To be honest, it's very complex, and it's probably for the best if you don't worry about it too much. It seems like something out of a storybook, but understanding the particular about how it works won't do much to help us, I don't think.

So it's an active monarchy, where the sovereign makes the rules? We technically have an emperor and a royal family, but they're largely ceremonial these days and all of the real governing power is in the Diet.
