[edit]
|
| A city with circular walls lies on a plateau in the midst of towering mountains. A moat is fed by a stream, and a few houses dot the landscape outside of the walls. In the middle of the city is a large, Japanese style pagoda that rises high over the walls and city. | [edit] |
|
Jillian Zamussels: Faq[1] was just a tiny kingdom. A capital and two subordinate cities, with mountains on all sides. Isolated. Prince Ansom: Completely? Jillian Zamussels: Complete enough. Accessible only by air and tunnel. | [edit] |
| Jillian gestures against the background of the tent as she speaks to Ansom. | [edit] |
|
Jillian Zamussels: And it was weird. Utopian. A bubble kingdom. Prince Ansom: Hmf. Jillian Zamussels: I know. Prince Ansom: There's no such thing. Jillian Zamussels: I know! | [edit] |
| A flashback scene shows a large man dressed in green lecturing to kneeling listeners. The clothing is Asian, bearing strong resemblances to Japanese. One student bears a skull in her hair, and appears to be Wanda. Another resembles Stanley's Foolamancer. | [edit] |
|
Jillian Zamussels: But King Banhammer[2] liked to think it was. That was my father. He treated his warlords like crap, the few he had. | [edit] |
| A flashback scene shows a human unit wearing green Japanese-style armor leaning back against a wall, hand raised to catch a yawn. His bearing is quite unmilitary. | [edit] |
|
Prince Ansom: Did you even have soldiers to command? Jillian Zamussels: What we had were... more like clerks. | [edit] |
| Ansom is wearing his plate armor, seated across the table from Jillian. His red cape falls back behind his chair. | [edit] |
|
Jillian Zamussels: My father liked his rules. Picture your man Webinar as a King. But obsessed with philosophy, not battle. Prince Ansom: How long could a Kingdom like that exist? | [edit] |
| A flashback scene shows warriors clad in the green Oriental-style armor of Faq mounted astride gwiffons and engaged in fierce battle. | [edit] |
|
Jillian Zamussels: A long time. We had mines, and farms, and a good Foolamancer. We'd do mercenary work with gwiffon squads, when there was no other way to boost the treasury. Always for far-off sides who didn't know where we were from. | [edit] |
| A flashback scene shows Jillian in Faq-style armor, striking an enemy hard with a fist. She is gritting her teeth from the force of the impact. | [edit] |
|
Prince Ansom: Dangerous. Jillian Zamussels: I loved it. Being so far from my father's kingdom, living by my sword ... My wits? My guts? | [edit] |
| Jillian casts an uncomfortable sidelong glance as she speaks to Ansom, whom is off panel. | [edit] |
|
Jillian Zamussels: Felt like the only time I was alive. I hated the old man. And it was mutual. He should never've had an heir. Prince Ansom: Why did he? | [edit] |
| A flashback scene shows Jillian in her Faq armor, grimacing as she turns her back on King Banhammer. He appears to be angrily berating her about something. | [edit] |
|
Jillian Zamussels: His Predictamancer told him that his precious toy kingdom would fall someday. So he ordered an heir popped. Only instead of a perfect little philosopher-prince like he wanted? ...He got a sword-swinging madwoman, who knows exactly which fork to use to pluck out an eyeball. ...but not for the salad. | [edit] |
| A flashback scene shows Jillian from behind. She is wearing her green Faq armor and has set her sword on top of the wall she is leaning against. | [edit] |
|
Prince Ansom: Far left. Jillian Zamussels: What? | [edit] |
| Ansom holds the index finger and thumb of his left hand together as though holding something delicate. | [edit] |
|
Prince Ansom: The smaller fork with the one stronger tine. That's for the salad. Jillian Zamussels: Oh it is the eyeball one. | [edit] |
