[ America frowns at the video for a second. She's still getting used to this sort of thing. There are more important things to speak of, of course, too. America is just, well, the following: ]

So...I don't know about anyone else, but I'm really, really [and she adds another one because it's not clear enough, right? just as she falls back on the bed she's sitting on ] really bored.

Kamala was telling me about these stories she has from back in her world. I guess it's the world I'm in now, too, though, but I haven't heard a lot of stories in my time. I just need sometime to check these stories out. [ Totally matter of fact and a little more cheerful. ] When I get back, of course. Don't know if I'm gonna start calling it my world, though.

[ She smiles again and sounds more cheerful again. ] I wanna hear about your stories. Your fairy tales and legends. Or whatever you feel like talking about.

[ooc: by all means, feel free to thread-jack and share with each other, or tell stories together. ]

Well, people shouldn't in charge just because of bloodlines, anyway. Should they?

What is the shogun doing?

[revengeisalie]

[ Rin blinks. ] You think so? [ That is honestly not a thought that has ever really occurred to Rin. So much in her time and place is bound up in bloodlines; both the Emperor's and the shogun's title are hereditary, as well as the titles of the lower-ranking samurai. Hell, she herself is something of an heiress, to a sword school. ]

Well, the shogun does all the real government work. The Emperor's duties are more ceremonial these days.

*I have no idea if MCU will change this, but she is in the comics

[starlingroad]

Yeah. What if they're not good at it?

[ Considering she's a princess*, it's a bold statement of her to make. But to America, does that really mean she's going to be a good leader? Nah. ]

So, sounds like the shogun is already in control, then.
