THIRD ORDER ♛ ANONYMOUS TEXT
[Logan has been the King of Albion for twelve years. His reign is at an end, however - his sister staged a coup and will take the throne as soon as he returns to Albion. Logan isn't upset with her - if anything, he's relieved that he no longer has to deal with everything. He's relieved that he doesn't have to face down the threat of incoming darkness - a threat he's known about for four years and hasn't been able to stop. He's confident that his sister can handle the throne, but it isn't a position he ever would have wanted to put her in. He does care about her in his own stunted way, after all.
It's been nearly eleven years since Logan's mother, the previous Queen, died. She was the one who united Albion under a monarchy and ruled for fifty years of peace and prosperity. Yes, there were issues - any country with 6.5 million people is bound to have them - but she handled them all as best she could and will most likely go down in history as a benevolent, wonderful monarch. She would be disappointed in him; Logan's positive of that much. He started his rule as a monarch dedicated to his people, but circumstances drove him to become a tyrant.
He's spent the day being far more subdued than usual, keeping to himself and occasionally examining the 'Gear, but it takes hours for Logan to finally get up the courage to actually post to the network, even anonymously. He's adapted to this world far better than he ever thought he would, and now that he has adapted, he's finding that he rather likes Johto. He doesn't have the same responsibilities and expectations placed on him. He's free. It's not something he ever would have thought he wanted back home, but it's something he's finding that he's desperately needed this entire time.]
How do you deal with failure? How do you deal with not living up to the expectations set for you?
I believe there are some monarchs or rulers here. How do you deal with the people of your nation despising you for what you've done, even if what you've done was for their own good?
[...He's kind of the most obvious anon. Just let him pretend, alright.]

It explains a lot when it comes to the technology gap, anyway.

[That's great! That means that the Crawler didn't win! ...Admittedly this could be a different version of Albion entirely but it at least gives him hope, alright.]
no subject
[You know, something horrible outside of the Combine taking over.]

But then, your name doesn't sound familiar at all, either, when I run it through my knowledge of past kings of England and Scotland. It's possible it's not the same place. Not to be pessimistic or anything.
no subject
[Or maybe he was just forgotten by history? That would be perfectly fine with him!]
We're facing down a being of darkness known as the Crawler. I take it you've heard nothing of that either?
no subject
But accessing things like that aren't what I was designed to do, either. Again, I know a lot about a lot of things, but I don't know everything. I can take educated guesses on some things. That's about it. But if there was something in the history of where I'm from regarding this Crawler of yours, I'd think I would have heard about it.
