[There is a bird in a throne room here.

It's definitely a throne room - although most throne rooms don't have giant mushrooms growing and large crystals and plants next to the lights, there is a very nice throne in the middle of it. So it's a throne room.

It's probably a bird. Though most birds don't wear crowns or fancy robes. And most don't talk.]

His Royal Highness, the King!

[Trumpets play. It's not clear where from.]

Hello, I am the King.

[The King clears his throat.] This is a very strange thing. There are not usually computers on the Holiday Star. The King does not understand how this one got here. The King is very worried that scarier things than computers might suddenly appear.

But, it is nice to see people from far away. The King is very busy on the Holiday Star and cannot travel. The King would like to say hello to everybirdie.

...There aren't many birdies here, are there? Very strange. Very, very strange. The King would like to know why, if that is okay.

[The message ends soon after - apparently the King does not have any trouble operating a computer with wings.]

[Heart gave him a look, raising an eyebrow before snorting.] I am no human, I am more than a human.

You can call my people Roidmude.

[kingsofafeather]

The King is sorry! The King didn't mean to be insulting. You just looked very human. The King is very, very sorry.

[Aaaand he's sniffling already.]

[heartofthegroup]

Hmph, for a talking bird and a ruler, you have a lot to learn if you are going to protect your people.

[And Heart is slightly unimpressed at the moment.]

[kingsofafeather]

The King's birds are all perfectly safe. There are no troubles on the Holiday Star.

[For a multitude of reasons.]

[heartofthegroup]

Really? What's stopping someone from portaling over and shooting up the place?

[No that's not a threat. Just a question Heart was wondering. How does a bird protect its people?]

[kingsofafeather]

Portalling? There is one train that stops a the Holiday Star. No one has gotten there by other means.

[And that's the train of the dead, so. Not a train many people willingly board.]

[heartofthegroup]

[Heart held up a device that was provided to him.] This apparently allows me free access to your realm.

What's to say anyone else has one?

[kingsofafeather]

Oh! The King found one of those as well. The King had not considered that... but, his people should still be fine! It is very hard to hurt us.

[heartofthegroup]

Good.

Caring for your people is a sign of a leader then.

[kingsofafeather]

The King cares very much for his people. He would not allow anything bad to happen to them if he could stop it.

[heartofthegroup]

Very good. I'm glad to talk to you then.

[kingsofafeather]

The King would like to know your name.

[heartofthegroup]

It's Heart.

I am Heart, the leader of the Roidmudes.

[kingsofafeather]

Heart is a nice name. The King is pleased to meet you.

[heartofthegroup]

Likewise. It's uncommon to find rulers in this world, or in others who aren't human.

[kingsofafeather]

The King hasn't left the Holiday Star for a long time. So the King hasn't met many rulers.

[heartofthegroup]

I would prefer it if you protected your friends, oh King. It would be more of what a ruler needs to do.

[kingsofafeather]

The King will do his very best!

[heartofthegroup]

Good. [He liked the idea of having a good leader after all.]

[kingsofafeather]

[Conversation is nice. How do make conversation.]

What are your people like?

[heartofthegroup]

Driven. We have a single purpose and that is to prove ourselves better than humans.

[kingsofafeather]

That should be easy. Humans are not very powerful.

[heartofthegroup]

One would think so, but there is a foe among them that we... [what is the word for it? Fear? No, respect? Maybe.] oppose.

He is the Kamen Rider.

[kingsofafeather]

The King thinks that name sounds imposing.

[heartofthegroup]

It's a name that we're not fond of around these parts at least.
