Hey, anyone feel like talking into a rock is the start of some sort of prank?

I've always been confused by how sucky rulers manage to get so many people to let them be in power. But yeah, I'll consider myself lucky. Our king is cool.

[suspecteverything]

"Let them" would be the key problem in that statement. Unless your sucky ruler, as you call it, is that bad merely because of incompetence, all of the other ones usually have enough fire power or control to pose too much of a threat for people to do anything to stop them.

It's just hard to imagine getting in a position like that. If I ever tried, not that I would, I feel like I'd be shot so fast.

Politics isn't really my thing, though...

[suspecteverything]

Because you're not that coldblooded. Those that are would shoot anyone who gave them even a vague premonition that they might turn. And that's after they kill a few people just for petty things to set the tone that they aren't someone to mess with. I doubt you could do that even to a stranger. No chance would you be able to do it to family.

Guess that's true enough. I can't get into that mindset. It's kinda out there for me.

You happen to be good with technology?

[suspecteverything]

It's not any easier to understand when you've seen it all your life either.

Depends what, but generally, yeah. I'm competent.

Ever fix stuff like motorcycles?

[suspecteverything]

I've only ever seen a few of them. Definitely haven't fixed one. If I had access to my link I could probably figure it out. Without that, the best I could do is use my experience with ships and try some trial and error.

[Which would probably lead to results if the technology wasn't too far behind what Jules knows.]
