[So you know how Ling made that post to gossip about the eligible women of Luceti? Richard stalked that whole thing, partly out of boredom and partly because he happens to know a bunch of women and wanted to know what was being said about them. And the fact that Nami's name kept coming up so often... well, she's his friend, so as a true friend it's his duty to inform her of this fact. Just to be fair, of course.

He also may be slightly bored and wanting to see what happens when the rest of the girls find out about that conversation, but shhhh.]

Did you know that it's a custom in some worlds for a man to marry fifty wives? I had no idea that such a thing existed until I overheard a fascinating discussion the other day. It seems that one such bachelor is currently searching for fifty eligible women here in Luceti and asked the male population for a list of recommendations. I must admit, I was surprised by some of the names that came up. I expected Nami and Vivi, but Kairi, Ino, Shiemi, and Katara were quite popular as well. Some people even listed Nagisa and Pao-Lin.

But would any of you really want to share your husband with forty-nine other women? I couldn't help but wonder as to what you ladies think about a custom like that. Just out of curiosity, of course.

(OOC: Richard won't be responding to everything, but like Ling's post, go nuts with the threadjacking! This one is all for the girls so have fun with it!)

There's no need to worry, Cheria-- Asbel didn't participate in that discussion at all. You would have been the first person I'd told if he did.

[fsdkjd]

Thank you, Richard. That's a relief.

Though, on a different note... I do wish you hadn't included Sophie in this discussion.

[... busted.]

I assure you, that was completely unintentional on my part. It hadn't occurred to me that she might see this, much less want to say anything about it.

[At least he's not going to be the one explaining the birds and the bees to her. That's a parent's job, not an older brother's!]

[But Emeraude is dea- Ohwait you mean Cheria and/or Asbel.]

I hope this won't lead to any... compromising questions.

You mean you haven't explained to her where babies come from yet?

Me?! Why should I- I mean... Isn't she too... Too innocent to need to know these things already?

Not too innocent to suggest that Barona Castle has enough rooms for fifty wives.

[Whyyyyyy his life.]

[C-cough]

Well... It is an awfully big castle.

I'm not going to displace the castle staff just so that I can have fifty wives.

[He doesn't even want ONE, man.]

[She would offer up the hypothetical situation of fifty husbands, but that kind of teasing might be a bit inappropriate.]

Of course not, but Sophie doesn't know that. That sort of innocence is exactly why I think she shouldn't know about... about that, yet.

Unfortunately, it's also the next logical question after asking about fifty wives. I wouldn't be surprised if she were to ask if that meant I would have fifty children as well.

Then just tell her no! Having fifty children is irresponsible in any scenario.

I never said I planned on having fifty children myself.

I know that! I just don't want Sophie to get the impression that this is acceptable for anyone to do, even if her friends choose not to.

It may already be too late for that-- if that other discussion was any indication, apparently it is acceptable in certain other worlds.

But not ours! We have to make sure she knows that!

I think that's a conversation best left to the parents rather than the older brother.

[fdskljfs] But I-

We-

It's too soon!

Too soon? Surely this is something she'll need to know before she ends up with a younger sibling.

[TROLOLOLOL]

[Oh gosh oh gosh oh gosh oh gosh oh-]

Richard, you are un-believable! It really is too soon for that!

[Okay, now he's laughing, but he also feels a little bad.]

I'm sorry, perhaps that was too forward of me.

You can say that again... [Gosh, Richard. Gosh.]

In any case, we may not be able to escape explaining that to her for much longer. It's probably best for everyone if she finds out from us rather than some outside source.
