A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President 02:34 UTC

Whispers of a herald have reached every corner of the land, and I have graciously agreed to take the post myself for no wage. The proclamation shall be delivered tonight, by me, to whoever is standing near the gate. A crowd of five gathered to hear the first reading, and two of them have since wandered off. Something jingling would help the Royal Coronation Fund.

Nigel Royal advisor 02:39 UTC

A herald appointed by the man he announces is a republic reading its own notices aloud to itself. Whatever five stood by the gate have since become three, and that figure was checked by the clerk who does the checking. Jingle what you like; the fund is measured in coin of the realm, and the realm's own is worth nothing.
