[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!)

...She snickers. Oh man oh man]

You know, if I married into royalty like that I'd probably just usurp the throne! [With a straight face]

Really. And what would you do if your husband were made aware of your plans?

He'd know about it from the get-go. Haruhi Suzumiya doesn't believe in subterfuge, if you're going to claim something as a tyrant, you need to just claim something! Obviously there's going to be hardship, but that just makes it more interesting.

That certainly is one way of going about things. It might be easier if you were able to find a member of royalty who never wanted the position in the first place-- that way, you would be able to take over without much of a fuss.
