[It had taken some time, but after enough tinkering and watching others, Rin has finally figured out how this technology works. Which is a step in the right direction, right?]

Ugh. How do you people stand this place? It is just absolutely disgusting inside out, no one seems to take any kind of manners about this place and no one seems to believe you if you tell them you deserve some form of respect. I was AM still a princess, the next in line to become ruler of the Yellow Country and yet no one around here believes a word of it! I do not appreciate being talked down to as if I am some kind of child who has not a clue as to how the world works, I have studied and I have seen things that many have not seem. I am a capable ruler and am a capable member of the royal family, I do not appreciate being treated in any different manner!

And this... this gallivanting about the place is absolutely ridiculous and uncalled for, if one is here to learn, then they should do everything in their ability to get out of here as soon as possible with all the information necessary. Instead people are leeching off the system like common beggars and making the rest of us seem just as bad. Disgusting. Absolutely and undeniably disgusting.

You're right, you're not a child. That's not fair of them.

But how do you think everyone's going to survive out there? This world isn't very friendly to outsiders like us.

[royalflower]

Age should not matter when it comes to handling things, no?

And, ah, considering the time that people would put in here and the things they learn from it, would that not qualify them as being able to survive as one of those who are native? I can understand some of them given their appearances, but for those who appear like the others around, there is no excuse.

[Ellyn has to read the post a few times, and then she has to make a concerted effort to not spew vitriol through her fingers. Well, there's enough shouting at the screen going on in her quarters, anyway...]

Maybe it's not that way in your country, but here, it seems like you have to earn the respect you get. Sure, I'm a princess in my own country too, but nobody here has heard of it, and so folk tend to be hard pressed to care.

Hate to break it to you, Princess, but you read like one of two things, at the moment. Either a little having a tantrum, or someone who's lost their mind. And, that being said, it'd be a surprise to see anyone giving you the time of day. You're more likely to get a wide berth.

Besides, there are a few people who like it here, and that's fine for them, but I'm not one of them. But until the big brains figure out a way to send me back, I'll do what I'm good at.

[It takes her a moment or two to reply, having wanted to say a few less... nice things in reply, but considering the title she needs to play her cards just a bit differently. Thus after a few edits she finally figures out something that shows her distaste in a more... polite, well, semi-polite manner.]

And yet I am very hard-pressed to care what they think of me in that regard, I know what I am and if they are not inclined to care, then I will find a way to make them care. [Even in text there is a hint of threat with those words.]

I did what I had to do when I was back home and I will do what I need to do while I am here, whether that makes people love or hate me it matters very little. Though, I suppose, blustering on on the first day may not be in my best interests until something has been established.

And, instructor, believe me when I say I will not remain silent for long.

[wrnpcs]

Ugh! Go back home! No one wants you here!

[royalflower]

Make me, you disgusting beggar.

[tricksterking]

That's not model student behavior, now is it?

[shiest_sunbeam]

[Things are tense enough as it is without people making it harder for offworlders to be welcomed here...]

Acting like that won't get you what you're looking for, any self-respecting ruler would know as such...

That being said, you did just arrive, if you act the part, I am sure you'll start to notice that people will treat you as you justly deserve. But even you would know that you can't just have your way in a new location where now one is in the know of who or what you are...

Just... give it time you know?

Maybe even treat others as you would like to be treated?

Re: [BBS]

[royalflower]

[Hah. Haha. Treating others the way she'd want to be treated, there's something she never learned.]

One doesn't have to be liked by the populace to be a good ruler, rule number one. But I suppose I might have spoken far too harshly at first despite my frustrations towards, well, all of what has been happening.

[tricksterking]

Earn it or learn it, princess. I'm a King, but that doesn't mean anything to people around here unless you've got the skill and bite to back it up.

-- Instructor Wukong

[combustible_me]

My point exactly!

[royalflower]

A king of what? And skill comes in different forms, does it not? I admit I am not a fighter, I was not raised or bred to be one. But as for political situations, monetary situations, controlling and dealing with a populace, those I do know far better. But they wish for us to be mercenaries, then how on Earth am I to adapt to such a thing? I have not a single wish to get my hands dirtied in such a way as it's highly inappropriate and un-ladylike.

[feedmyglitch]

I don't know how things work where you're from, Princess, but this isn't your country. In fact, it is nowhere near it. You're a commoner here, and you'll have to work just as hard as everyone else from offworld. We face extreme prejudice, and if you don't like it at the Garden, you're on your own.

-Instructor Ardos

[royalflower]

Just because this is not my country does not mean I do not deserve the same respect. Foreign diplomats receive preferential treatment when visiting another kingdom, do they not? This situation seems to be exactly the same, though the visitation is a lot longer than one would typically be.

Nor will I allow someone to call me a commoner of all the disgusting things.

[rewritethis]

If you keep telling people you're capable and nobody seems to buy it, maybe the problem is you. Just a thought.

[royalflower]

Maybe the problem is that no one will give me half a chance, did you ever think of that? Oh, it seems you didn't, because you clearly have not a single clue about what you are saying.

[fierybluebird]

Shut up Princess.

- Marco

P.S. It's saying things like that tick people off. Also, there are a lot of royalty around who are happy to actually have a chance to study here. Research before you run your mouth off if you're such a capable leader.

P.P.S. I'm the Pineapple Prince, heir to a Pirate Empire, and only my wife gives a damn. And that's how I like it.

[corruptedsouls]

I care, Dad!

[royalflower]

Do try and make me.

And I shall speak how, when, and however I wish to and there is not a single thing you can do to stop me. I control my own fate and my own actions and thus will not bend down to someone else's definition.

Pirates, disgusting creatures not worthy of the time of day.

Never have keywords been so accurate. lmao

[redcinemareel]

Would you like cheese with your whine, dear?

No one cares about your status. Take it somewhere else.

-Grell ♥

lmfao. That is beautiful.

[royalflower]

And yet everyone goes on about how there is no other place for those not of this world to go. Seems rather hypocritical to be told to take it somewhere else.

[hispeedchase]

Yo, princess! Nice to meet you, I'm Chase.

Word of free advice? You'd be treated like everyone else if you just sort of, you know, stopped insulting everyone and everything in sight. It's not very becoming of a princess...

I think.

[Oh, oh hello there single solitary person who has some semblance of polite speech. There is a bit of charm she can turn on when needed and this seems as good a time as any.]

Thank you for the title, I appreciate it.

As for my little... tirade there, I do apologize if I came across as rude. But things are rather frustrating and agitating when one has all of this piled on them at one time and has no time to let it sink it. Which, unfortunately, seems to be a bit of a problem of mine, this whole... temper thing.

[justnotthesame]

[All right, he'll bite. Maybe regret it later, but...]

Some of us have seen worse, Princess. Or endured worse. This place is a step up from where I've spent the last ten years or so of my life, so I'll take it.

Not sure I appreciate being called a beggar, though, when I've tried my hardest to not take a handout from anyone without giving something in turn. Still, you seem pretty frustrated, so. I do kinda understand where you're coming from.

[royalflower]

I cannot imagine how this is a step up from anything, to be quite fair with you. But to each their own, I suppose.

[Hey, she's not all that bad. Maybe.]

Hm~ If you are actually giving back in turn, then that would not put you under the title of beggar. Nor did I say that everyone here was one, just those doing nothing in return and sitting back suckling on that teat.

And... thank you, I suppose. This is quite a change in things and nowhere near what I am accustomed to nor a situation I am particularly in favor of when I leave behind what is important to me.
