@kntrlaw-
you truly are a stubborn man. do you shackle all the visitors who enter your kingdom like prisoners ?
@THESSTAGG "yes — usually in a more crude manner. you should be glad you're not in a cell as well. this is a standard procedure here — until you're cleared , you're to be kept like this."
/ cb , spec !
`` look who's trespassing now . looking for something ? ``
@petaldecay "yep , just thinking about all the ways I could hurt you. I have a book about torture methods with your name written / all / over it. wanna read it?" he bit out as his annoyance started to grow.
`` hm , such wounding words you speak . `` he gave a frown .. not a genuine one . rather playful if anything . `` what do I owe this uninvited visit ? were you just thinking of me / that / much ? ``
`` you can point that blade at me , but it isn't going to fix anything . ``
there was no hint of amusement in the king's eyes this time . he glanced at the blade then back to the other man. `` make me feel something ... how charitable of you . `` his brushed against the blade , feeling the cool material . he didn't push or pull it away , if anything he leaned into it slightly . `` if you'd like to make me feel , then by all means . pierce me . somebody , somewhere , will wilt for this sport of yours . `` he grins sharply . eryndor was well aware of his curses , even if one left him lost in the head .
@petaldecay "but it'll make me feel a whole lot better!" he smiled while poking the dagger against the other's chest. "and it'll make you feel something for once , so it'll be a win for / both / of us!"
`` you look surprised .. happy to see me ragnar ? ``
@petaldecay "I / have / guards — or well .. a form of them." they were specially trained to attack only threats. it got a bit tricky after they kept attacking him during him moments of random bouts of bloodlust. considering the other was a well known king .. ugh. "who just lets themselves into someone's room anyways? you're a king. you're literally trained in manners."
there was a moment of silence as eryndor considered the question . `` honestly , I feel like the important question is where are all your guards ? this place is basically easy to sneak into ... `` he tsked , head shaking in mock disappointment . `` such a depressing place you have . ``
@petaldecay " .. why the / fuck / are you in my room?" he looked around as if that would reveal some secret entrance the other king had used to get in. "I think it's quite obvious as to why I'm surprised right now!"
YOUR CROWN DOES MATTER. BUT NOT HERE.
@BEOWULFS the comment made him grit his teeth. impulsively , he wanted to retaliate against the claim. he wanted to fight back that his crown would always matter — that his should be placed above everyone else's. despite all of this , he remained deceptively calm. that was a mindset he could only display in the midst of battle — or when his queen permitted him to. he'd prefer to bite his tongue then to claim his own power only after being granted permission though. "apologies — I spoke out of turn."
i do not kneel for you—or your queen.
@dunami "how bold , coming from the person who has snuck into my kingdom." despite the wide smile on his face , the tone in his voice was piercing. "that's okay! it's so much more entertaining to deal with those who don't listen , don't you think?" he nodded as if to reply to his own question. "you don't need to kneel! you just need to obey."
alright, i’m not entirely sure what this is but i’m guessing it involves you somehow?

" MY KINGDOM WAS MADE FOR WAR.
YOU'LL HAVE TO DO BETTER THAN
THAT TO TAKE IT FROM ME." © DNI. INFO THREAD.
| while he's without true powers , he's been given ' boosts ' by the queen. he's her warrior — she can't allow him to die / too easily /. he's hard to kill , in the sense that his soul is tightly bound to his body. his heart could stop beating and he could still be moving. he himself can't heal , but she can heal him. his skin is hard to cut and his bloodlust increases as he fights. were the queen to die , he would only retain the physical attributes. ( strength , speed , endurance )
| he's naturally strong himself though – even without her increasing it. with his own strength he could take on hundreds , with hers its thousands. this isn't a limitless technique. he will eventually grow tired.
( this is unknown. he CANT grow tired. )
( he can't lose another child. )
| he has three children in total , two are alive. he doesn't speak of them much — pretends to not care about them. she makes him get rid of the things he cares about.
| he's a terrible person — an absolute red flag but like .. by necessity. if that makes sense.
| prefers close combat , but is skilled in long range too.
| he's genuinely going insane. his actions will display that.
| the only morals he has left revolve around children. he won't harm them or allow them to fight in wars. it's a hard rule he's set. he argues that the population will decline if they allow their younger generations to fall while fighting at war.
| will insult you in every possible way he can.
| stab first think later type of guy
| he's a terrible person .. but he's also a vegetarian .. ( meat is scarce in fimbulvetr. he'd prefer other people to be able to eat it. )
RAGNAR does not have his own free will. this makes him angry — makes him violent , makes him hate the world. he's powerful , has trained his whole life to be strong enough to take on hundreds — but despite this , one word from the queen could have him kneeling. she holds the power to command him — a power granted by his ancestors foolish mistakes.
( he won't admit it , but the queen terrifies him. being near her makes him tremble — something he won't show unless they're alone , and even then he does his best to hide it. she enjoys it. she could make him do anything — she / has / made him do so much. has made him kill mercilessly , dig the two scars down his own face — she made him kill one of his children as punishment for losing a war. he hates her — he hates his more for not being able to stop her. )
in order to retaliate , he became cruel before she could order him to. threw away his morals sooner than she could tell him to. she doesn't tell him to conquer lands anymore — he does it on his own. having his own will taken away from his is infuriating , so he took it back. if she wants the world , then he'll take it on his own terms.
