Party To Treason 2: Valdragon's Coup

[Florien]

Double Cpt. Blixbo's Heartening Holiday

• What's this, an IED? Might as well be. You're not getting those in, you'll start a fire. She doesn't even ask for a bribe, she just takes your sparklers without further comment.
  
• Pew pew pew! You explode several birds. Keyes gives you a look as you proceed to stain the ground. She does, weirdly, buy your excuse that "the birds know too much" but she does charge you for the blood you got everywhere. A "Cleaning Fee" in this case.
  
• Keyes really likes your recursive sand sculpture, and she gives you a creativity award and a coupon for the bar and grille with an e. Obviously you can't put sparklers around it because she took them though.
  
• Your snow sled is immediately capsized by a huge beast of the waters. You can't communicate with it, as by the time you get your communicator out, it's dived back again... just as quickly it's chasing you. Reasoning with it isn't an option as it comes in for the kill. You desperately break for the shallows, hoping to get to a place where you won't be torn to shreds by hostile fish. You only narrowly make it. Good thing you brought the first aid kit. You eat of the food and drink of the drinks at 20% off and get a free shrimp cocktail.
  

Lt. Mac Cumhaill's Incredible Island Vacation

• An approximate Metric Assload (equivalent to roughly 1.4 Alliance Assloads) of sunscreen was probably wise (I was definitely going to burn you if you hadn't, having known irish tourists and their penchant for underestimating the power of a high-angled sun.)
  
• You gun down the island's wildlife, and a floran tourist takes a picture with you, praising you as an "okay hunter. Not great of coursse, not like floran. But good for a very tall meat-thing." Keyes disapproves and makes you retroactively buy a hunting license, groundbound wildlife is hard to get on these islands.
  
• Your weird but very tall sandcastle wins you an award from Keyes (just a coupon) It would be eligible for an intergalactic record for biggest sandcastle constructed by a single individual, except that record is actually truly vast and you didn't beat it. It's a very cool sandcastle though.
  
• You check out the lighthouse. As Sendri (No relation to the Director) found out before, the lamp is painfully bright, and when you turn it on, which is alarmingly easy to do, your shriek of agony echoes across the island, silhouetting you against the mountains. It's possible your eyes may never fully recover! You're blind forever! Wait no never mind you're fine. Mostly. It probably didn't burn a hole in your retina, though it takes a while for the spots to clear.
  

Well, I hope you all enjoyed wasting my time. Except you, Captain Beck, you'll have double voting power this round, because you actually managed to continue doing your job on the island, and also were able to extract quite a bit of cash, in addition to revolutionizing cuisine, which we can actually use. I can put you in charge of a catering company once I'm in charge, in addition to your current post.

Now, you can all talk with Major Harrier, who is in charge of deciding who my next Aide will be, to try to sway him... but ultimately it'll be his choice who the next aide is.
