ooc; okay, so I figured the easiest way for me to do this was to set up the post and then set up two different threads: one for canon-alignment shifted Peony, one for AUDark!Peony, so...yes. :|b
I should be asking you that. You didn't fall and hit your head or something, did you? Keep that up, and I'll have to start calling this guy Gailardia instead.
That reminds me, I've been thinking of proposing an increase in our budget for technological development, but I still need someone to oversee the project. I figure out of all the candidates, there's probably only one who really stands out.
[You are clearly the best Emperor Peony. Not that he realizes you are not, in fact, his Emperor. Seriously he wants to hug Peony but contents himself with just looking SUPER EXCITED.]
I had no idea you were considering something like this. What did you have in mind for project?
[Robots and airships and cars and new ways of lighting and long range radio and more efficient data storage devices...]
Most of theoretical research is tied up in a new energy source. I think mechanically we can help with that--and when a source is found, we'll need to develop engines and means of storing and conducting that energy.
I don't know, what would you suggest? I'm sick of Malkuth being behind the times. We have one of the best fontech experts at our disposal, it's about time we started taking advantage of that.
I don't know with that guy. I'd like to think our friendship and history makes some kind of difference, but you know how he is about Jade. He sees anyone that gets in between him and Jade as an enemy, and sometimes that even includes me - or you for that matter, I bet.
Exactly. But, if you want to try talking to him, I wouldn't object. The most important thing is you're involved. You're the future, and I'm sure you have more than enough bright ideas that you can do this with or without Saphir.
[a beat] Hell, if you're lucky I'll send you to an island of scantily clad girls. Try to contain yourself. You wouldn't want to shame Malkuth with your lechery.

I think that'd be more than enough confusion for everyone. I'm fine.

[he smiles earnestly at Guy]
What do you say? Are you up for it?
no subject
Seriously?! I mean, really, Your Majesty? Of course. I would be honored!
[Really he's almost bouncing.]

I knew you were the right one for the job. Hell, with you in charge, I'm sure even Sheridan will be scrambling to keep up with us.

There you go, we have our first project!

You want Dist to be on the project? I think that's probably a good idea if he agrees to it.

Thank you, but I'm still an amateur. Did you want Dist involved?
