dark is the new black

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

[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?

What are you looking at me for? You're the one in charge of this thing. Throw out a proposal and we'll see how quickly I can get it approved.

[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.

[Peony claps Guy on the back]

There you go, we have our first project!
explains: (Keterburg chic)

[personal profile] explains 2011-08-21 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
What scope did you want this project to have? Budget and team-wise?

[This is too easy but he doesn't caaaaare. Fontech!]

[identity profile] imperiator.livejournal.com 2011-08-21 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
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.
explains: (Elementary my dear Anise)

[personal profile] explains 2011-08-21 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
[His mind of course goes to Dist when Peony mentions the best fontech expert.]

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

[identity profile] imperiator.livejournal.com 2011-08-21 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
For such a genius, you're pretty stupid. I'm talking about you. You shouldn't sell yourself short.
explains: (Who? Me?)

[personal profile] explains 2011-08-21 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Surprised, a little unsure.]

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

[identity profile] imperiator.livejournal.com 2011-08-21 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
Everyone's an amateur at some point. Do you want Saphir involved?
explains: (This smile covers a lot)

[personal profile] explains 2011-08-21 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
He is one of the world's leading experts on fonic technology. Despite his eccentricities, he'd be an asset.

[identity profile] imperiator.livejournal.com 2011-08-21 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
I'll let you convince him then. I don't think he got over being imprisoned.
explains: (Bitches and whores)

[personal profile] explains 2011-08-21 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Really? I know he's not happy about it, but you think he resents it that much?

[identity profile] imperiator.livejournal.com 2011-08-21 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
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.
explains: (Kids these days)

[personal profile] explains 2011-08-21 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure he ever really noticed me specifically. It was always Jade.

[identity profile] imperiator.livejournal.com 2011-08-21 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
He's like that. But if he thinks you're replacing him as far as Jade's concerned, with your superior abilities and expertise in fontech, who knows.
explains: (What? In public Jade?)

[personal profile] explains 2011-08-21 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
Haha... That's not a very nice thought, Your Majesty.

[identity profile] imperiator.livejournal.com 2011-08-21 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
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.
explains: (Who? Me?)

[personal profile] explains 2011-08-21 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
[That's. A lot of praise. He's really not sure how to take it from Peony. Should he be worried?]

...I didn't do something to annoy you, did I Your Majesty?

[identity profile] imperiator.livejournal.com 2011-08-21 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, I can be sincere in my praise sometimes.

[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.
explains: (Now listen here)

[personal profile] explains 2011-08-21 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Now he's just getting mixed signals.]

Don't send me to your dream vacation, sir.

[identity profile] imperiator.livejournal.com 2011-08-21 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I wish. I'll just have to live vicariously through you. Don't squeal too much in delight, I know you want to~

[another beat, and then he smiles sincerely]

You'll take charge of this project? It's important to me to better our country, and I think this is a great way to start.
explains: (Facepalm)

[personal profile] explains 2011-08-21 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Just his icon. But then he looks up.]

Of course. I said I would. It's an honor, and it really would be a lot of fun.

[identity profile] imperiator.livejournal.com 2011-08-21 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
I knew you were the perfect fit!

So, besides that, how are you doing?
explains: (So awkward)

[personal profile] explains 2011-08-21 07:45 am (UTC)(link)
[A tilt of his head, an awkward smile.]

I'm fine, Your Majesty. And you?
