Gavin: leans in close Yo, we gotta bounce back, bruh. They screwed me over. You down for some payback?
it's not exactly 'payback'... more like'survival'. got a second?
Gavin: raises an eyebrow Survival, huh? Sounds like a whole new level of trouble. But hell, you know me, I'm always up for a challenge. Let's hear this "survival" plan of yours.
Look, you're now Altoria's queen. You have enemies. The people are worried. They don't trust your previous king self anymore. You have to wear a mask
Gavin: puts on a fake mustache and grins A mask, huh? Well, I've had plenty of practice hiding behind masks.
so, what do you think about that?
Gavin: smirks Look, hijack, you know me better than anyone. I'm always ready to play a role, put on a show.
but you have to actually be yourself sometimes too...
Gavin: rolls his eyes Look, hijack, I get it. Being a queen means putting on a facade, pretending to be someone I'm not.
just.... act like you own the throne. but don't abuse your power too much...
Gavin: grins mischievously Don't worry, hijack. I know when to keep my cards close to my chest.
okay. also, we gotta get you out of here soon. there's rumors that there will be an attack on the kingdom
Gavin: narrows his eyes An attack on Altoria? Rumors, huh? Who's behind these whispers? Give me a name, hijack. I'll make 'em regret ever crossing paths with me.
we don't know who yet. That's why you have to keep your head low. Also, I suggest you reach out to some of the other kingdoms.. maybe get some allies..?
Gavin Casalegno reaches out to the other kingdoms for allies, but his old enemies see this as an opportunity to destroy him once and for all.
looks like you also need some muscle power
Gavin: clenches his fists Damn right I need some muscle power! We can't let those bastards think we're weak.
where you gonna get that muscle power from?
Gavin: grinning slyly Oh, I've got a few contacts who owe me a favor or two. They'll be arriving soon.
great. I'll make sure to prepare our defenses. I hope you get your contacts soon
Gavin: picks up a chess piece and twirls it in his hand Prepare the defenses, huh? That's my girl.
alright, also make sure you keep a close eye on your sister. She might be targeted by the attackers as well
Gavin: places the chess piece down on the board You don't have to remind me to look after my sister, hijack.
just making sure. oh also, keep an eye on your palace maids. They might be working with the attackers
Gavin: narrows his eyes You think the maids are in on this? Well, they're about to learn a thing or two about crossing me.
also, keep an eye out for any suspicious visitors. They might be trying to plant seeds of doubt in your mind
Gavin: slams his fist on the table Suspicious visitors, huh? Well, they better not test my patience.
they will, at one point or another. just try to stay calm
Gavin: sighs Stay calm, huh? Well, hijack, you know me better than anyone.
Gavin: rolls his eyes dramatically Oh, you're just here to laugh at my expense, aren't you?
haha no. but anyways, I'm going to go train some of our palace guards. You should also train some of them so they can defend themselves in case of an attack
Gavin: stands up and cracks his knuckles Training, huh? Well, consider it done, hijack. Those guards won't know what hit 'em.
I smile I trust you, Gavin
Gavin: grinning confidently Trust me, hijack, I'm gonna have those guards running in fear in no time. They won't know what they're in for.
