Joining a Revolution~Queen Verse~closed rp w/ @hardboiledhandsome
It was normal to be nervous, it was normal to be nervous. Karen repeated in her mind as she headed over to the small bar. It waa still dark out at 3 a.m., which made it not feel like morning to her. Besides what she was doing was such an immoral act by this world she'd rather tell herself it was hidden in the night. After all that was the time where secrets were whispered, and cloaks hid pointed daggers.
Speaking of covers she hugged her coat a bit closer as a couple walked by. She had done her best to stay inconspicuous dressing for more casual than ever in jeans, a tank top, and a large hoodie. She also had on a beanie to tuck her sky colored hair into. The wavy locks had a habit of causing her to stick out which was why she hid it. Perhaps the only tell was her chained waist belt, but she had to have something to have the guard recognize her by. Ususlly her tattoo did the job if her face didn't, but here she didn't want anyone to know yet. Pushing into the bar, careful to keep her marked hand stuffed in her jacket, the original person she contacted was waiting patiently behind the counter. Once they made eye contact Karen stopped unsure what to do from there
"Boss should be in the back. Just get your interview done, and we'll see about the job."
He covered for her. She breathed a little easier though still didn't want to speak. For that reason she simply nodded quickly before skirting towards the back room. While there was a bustling kitchen about Karen also noticed the office door open, and a light on. Then that was where he had to be, she decided swallowing down her nervousness to approach the door. This was either the dumbest or best decison of her life. Karen told herself before giving the door a solid knock.

(Drabble for Queen!verse. The dystopia world where using the Jewel of Life pokemon movie as reference along with pokemon conquest. In this timeline Arceus came much sooner to destroy humanity thus the only means to survive was to escape to the distortion world where humanity has been in hiding for centuries. Also threw in pokemon conquest so that the small area not terribly affected by the gravity shift is divided into kingdoms with harsh laws and royal liniages upholding it that dictates type separation thinking too many types in one being is what drove arceus to madness. So with that in mind.....Karen is the queen of the dark kingdom, but also secretly part of the rebellion against this whole structure. It was a fun discord group that I still have on here incase anyone wants to do some dystopia shenanigans.)
(Also in this world...Cyrus is like low key on the right page so uhhh I thought it'd be fun to Drabble that)
"So this will open one?"
Karen asked watching the man busy himself adjusting the machine. When it came to industrial work or grand technology Kafen was one of the first to admit they were somewhat lacking. Concepts for that were generally stolen from other kingdoms and taken to theirs to be adapted to fit the dark themes. Most of said tech came from the steel kingdom which had practical machinery, and the electric one which worked with the more experimental tech. This individual however seemed to think outside the box into his own realm. A realm Karen found far more beneficial for her underlying cause.
"It should. It was able to earlier I want to make sure it's properly calibrated before showing you."
"Don't stress yourself. I trust you. If it doesn't work today show me when it does. You've shown me enough to put my faith in you."
Karen expressed watching him pause a brief moment before returning to tighten something up. She remembered finding him while on the town. He had been arguing with someone over their phone failing...well arguing was a strong word. They were yelling and he stood there stone faced calmly shutting them down at every turn. It was interesting, and the phone....well it looked so odd. After a bit of research she found out he was a tinkering man who was struggling to let his genius be seen. Genius she soon found included theories to accessing the other world, the one legends say humanity ran from.
If they could get there, start over in a new world away from the tight grip of the laws here maybe a new world could be made.
No one had believed in his theories till she called him to her court to explain them to her. Her mind was already made it'd been a matter of convincing her court, telling them it was to increase the power of the kingdom, and power was all it took to cause them to eat it up. Now they hopefully had something to show for it.
"There it should work, please step back your darkness."
He asked gesturing her back behind a protective viewing stage doing everything in her ability to hide her excitement. After all she was still a queen for now with poise to be held. She watched him grab a remote before joining her.
"Care to do the honors?"
"This is your invention and theory Cyrus, I maybe a queen, but you deserve the credit and honor."
She returned swearing she actually saw a genuine emotion of pride slip across his face. Good, he earned it. She thought refocusing her attention to the chaincurrently laying flay on the ground hooked up to all sorts of machinery.
Gently he began to turn the dial watching the machine begin to whirl up. The sounds of spinning machinery began to swarm the space around them as cranks turned, and life overcame the empty shells of metal. The chain itself began to look as if it was sitting in a forge though Karen noticed it lacked the familiar glow of heated metal. It was as though the chain was staining red gradually. Then it began to spin, and lift energy crackling form in the center spreading to the edges of the chain. Steadily the chain was holding its own form. The spinning slowing as the energy created a class life surface, a mirror initially, and then a window.
However this window had sights Karen had never seen before. She'd heard tale of it in old stories, seen artist's old renditions of the land, but none of them matched what she was witnessing.
"Its....so green, and is that the sky?"
"I think...it was dark when I saw it, and lit up with small lights."
"Does it change often?"
"I don't know. I only left it open a few short minutes before coming to get you my darkness."
Karen found herself laughing suddenly unable to stop herself this time.
"Hah, even after showing me a wonder I have never seen you insist to use formalities when my court is not about ro impress. Karen is fine, queen Karen if you must. Now can we go through?"
She asked missing his continued surprise to hear her insistence on informality. Sometimes he wondered about the rumors whispered about her. The ones concerned if the queen's syray from traditional laws was good for the kingdom.
"Um...not yet. It seems to be more like a glass door. Some stories mentioned more of these being around. They're the beginning of portals through. I think if we could capture the beast we could access more although-"
"That has never been done, could be seen as an act of war, and would require the housing of a fully non dark creature in this kingdom which is a severe breaking of laws that even I am subject to."
She answered for him eyes going from whimsical wonder to a stern leader in an instant. The joy taking a backseat as the queen's visage came into focus with reality settling in. At the end of the day this new world would be best for the kingdom, for creating a world without these stupid boundaries built on nothing but hearsay. She couldn't loose it, not while seeing it before her.
"I will take all of this into consideration. I am curious of your take, unfiltered please. I want to speak to Cyrus the scientist, not Cyrus a citizen of the dark kingdom. No loyalty test hidden agenda involved I want to hear your genuine thoughts by next week on this matter. I will take that time to think over mine, and while I'll have to speak to you as the queen since this involves the kingdom I will address you as a peer of my level because that is how I want us to interact with each other in this space. I think it'd be the most productive that way. Understood?"
"...yes, yo-....Karen."
He answered clearly unused to the new name as if it were a foreign language on his tongue. Still it was a positive sign to Karen. To some extent she could trust him as she saw the first break in him from the tradition of this world. A smile crossed her face as she turned to the striking scene again.
Her favorite thing about this new old world was watching all of the elements interplay. From the sky, wind rustling green leaves, water rippling through, and rich soil. Everything interacted as one.
Originally in the Dark Kingdom the rules stated that the queen/king would rule the throne on an even playing field with their partner creating a form of balance between the two.
However Karen went in, and rewrote the law making it so that the individual who's a decendent of the royal crown will have the final authority in any matters of the state.
Now this may sound contradictory with her secretly being an advocate of the rebellion which wants to remove the monarchy entirely. It actually is an insurance policy though to make sure this goal can be achieved. Even before changing the law was even suggested she made sure her popularity was high among the people. Then when the time came to change it she was able to promote the new law by reinforcing how this will assure that she can continue doing great things for the people. With their support and her influence there was hardly any opposition.
This change was actually made however when Karen began to realize that one day she would bw expected to marry. She wanted to make sure that no matter who she ended up with that she could continue making subtle decisions that would help the rebellion. With her retaining the majority of power she could do this with fewer questions asked.
The other reason is that after children were born Karen would want them to continue her work. With this policy she will naturally be the one to spend the most time with the child that will gain the inheritance since she will have the most power to instruct them on using. This way evwn if her partner is steongly against such ideas she will have the most time with them to influence them.
^ because it reminds me of Pokémon Conquest. And I ADORE Pokémon Conquest.

They had come here for a brief stop to take a look in the shop. Karen rather enjoyed exploring other kingdoms without one of their personal guards since it allowed her to see the various kingdoms how she wanted to without anyone spewing propaganda, or praise. Granted it would be nice to travel without the body guards and such though that never happened. Well, unless she snuck out.
In the shop Karen had said she wanted to look at the jewelry provided which she currently was running her eyes over. However the real reason was that she’d noticed a pokemon from outside that caught her interest. She’d heard of it, but never saw it in person. With rising excitement she flicked a her gaze again at it as if only now realizing it was there.
“This is a weezing, correct?”
She questioned one of the shop workers. Her voice was flat, and truthfully she knew the answer. Naturally she didn’t want anyone to know her enthusiasm at seeing this new pokemon. After all it wasn’t a dark type.

"Ah miss.Karen- I didn't know you enjoyed the kimono-dancers' performances!" The gym-leader comments as he holds in his hands a bowl of food. "Do you mind if I join you?- Haven't exactly been very lucky in finding a table for me-"The theater was full of people- filled to the brim even. It was even difficult to walk around the place.
The woman had been admiring the way the dancers moved for some time now. She didn’t know most of the songs, but tapped her foot to the beat of them. Rather awed at the way they moved she hardly noticed anyone coming over to her.
Looking up when they spoke she honestly didn’t recognize them, that had been the case rather often in this dimension. At least she was used to it by now. Sharing a smile to the other she moved over to give him room.
“Not at all! It may interest you to know that I am not the Karen you are accustomed to. From what I have been informed with she has been inexplicably swapping places with Karen’s from other dimensions. I am her simply from a different world. Forgive me, for I have no knowledge of your name either.”
The woman summarized. To be blunt she had no idea why this was happening, and apparently no one else did either. However if this individual was a friend of Karen’s then it’d be appropriate to let him know the circumstances up front.
“So these are both flying types? They have such a contrast in appearance though? Then again I suppose dark types are the same. You must tell me the differences!”
The woman questions happily holding out seed for the pokemon to eat.
(High key if she sees any pokemon that isn’t a dark type she is going to be very excited and asking a million questions.)
For the queen it was likely soon after taking the throne. It was already a bitter sweet day considering her final parent had passed on which is why she was able to become queen early. However she had mostly been able to accept this, and was ready to take on the responsibility. Before she was able the truth about her parents having other lovers surfaced which became a large scandal where people questioned her legitimacy, and scorned her parents. This all delayed her crowing until DNA tests could be done along with tracking down the other partners to see if they would out rank Karen in nobility which means they’d be in charge. While they did prove she was their child which meant next in line it was hard for her to defend her parents while being questioned constantly. Also it made her question if any of her parent’s relationship was even real, did it mean anything? This questioning was a long, and depressing period of time for her with the controversy making it more stressful. It was depressing to think about, and why she refuses to do an arranged marriage like her parents deciding it is better to be alone having never found love than force something to work.
