Chapter Text
The citizens of the City of Tears gathered around the Watcher's Spire. Their King was going to make an announcement. Five regal figures appeared, but the shortest of them all was the one that carried with them a blinding, pale light. They raised their hands to sign and the crowd quieted, the booming voice of their sister translating for those whose couldn't see.
"Citizens and Travellers of Hallownest alike! We come to you with a proposal, the taking of a census! Our Kingdom has grown much of late, and no longer will simple estimates meet your needs." Hornet paused, allowing retainers to enter the crowd below. "Additionally, we wish to use the taking of this census as an opportunity to get to better know our citizens. A Monarch has no worth to subjects which they do not know."
Ghost spread out the Monarch Wings, signing with grand, sweeping gestures. Their experience with the Troupe had left them with a love of grand dramatics, and speeches were a rare opportunity to perform.
"The Retainers below are passing out the form to fill out. All that is required is your name, age, gender, species, place of location, and similar info for any others who live with you. If your residence lies outside of the City and has no address, please provide a brief description of it. If you lack a residence, please indicate so, and we will get to work providing you with a residence of your own. If you are nomadic, please indicate so, and a place where you can be reached by mail. If you are a traveller, indicate the inn where you are staying."
Another deep breath in, hiding the exasperation Hornet felt for her little sibling. To know every citizen in the Kingdom? It was a noble ambition, but utterly impossible. But as she had learned, nothing could stop the Little Ghost.
"If you wish to provide more information for us to know you by, there are spaces for such below. We appreciate your cooperation, and ourself, our siblings, and the retainers will be there shortly to answer any questions you may have." And thus began the passing of the papers!
(You may, of course, interact in character. Either way, please provide the required information, as well as how permission works with using your OC in stories. Please do note that if you provide images, I will not see them. A copy/paste form will be provided below, but you don't need to follow it.‹/p›
