Shale had done his best to stay cool during the rather placid response Cornelius gave to his and Jaxon's statement, but as they often did, his emotions were starting to get the better of him. In this case, annoyance and frustration bubbled to the surface and showed plainly on his face, brow furrowing as he crossed his arms. "Fine. You want to say I'm being greedy? Whatever. That's a whole lot better than withholding information of this level and then just dropping it like the most casual thing in the world. This is bullshit. It's ridiculous."

The guy considered it greedy, but that was pretty much all everyone knew. Pointing to Sahle, he nodded his head, a little annoyed. "The guy's right. We should have been told about the Prize. At least then you would at least have gotten more people willing to take the prize than just one shady guy."

Seriously though. They told no one about it, yet they expected everyone to be head over heels for this prize.

Augustus could feel everyone judging him, but he was above remarking on their actions. He did, however, raise an eyebrow at Cornelius. "Are you suggesting I die in order to become your King?"

He had spent years hiding from humans, prolonging his life, and now he was now expected to just give it up? Augustus frowned. "I'm a Fae. Do I need to die?"

Cornelius ignored the people who were obviously outraged. Honestly, he would have been, too, but if his parents had wanted a real ruler, there were better ways to do so than giving him free reign over the process. Then again, they had probably just expected him to lie down and take the throne quietly without a fuss.

"It depends on what type of Fae you are," he said to Augustus. "Are you more spirit than flesh? If you are, then the process is easy. If not, then yes, it would require a death of sorts. It can occur whenever, whether a controlled event now or a more natural occurrence later, assuming you can even die of old age."

It was obviously Cornelius was ignoring their objections, and Angelo's eyes slid over to the fae.

"I wouldn't recommend you take such a shady deal, but if you want to, all the power to you I guess. But I'm not going to stick around with this. If you kids want to stop by the ice cream shop with me, I'll pay for a cone and you can call that your prize for winning."

Bam, good deed for the day.

Shale kept his hands jammed in his pockets after his venting was dine, exhaling heavily and looking over to Angelo. "Huh? Oh...sorry. I can actually only eat minerals, but I appreciate the gesture." The gargoyle eyed Augustus, unable to keep himself from rolling his eyes at the man's apparent greed.

Jaxon rolled his eyes. There had to be one that had to agree, but why wasn't it the cop? Jaxon knew he didn't even want the role. But it have to go to that guy?

"Sure, I'll go." He nodded at Angelo. "Best to get away from this mess before it starts."

Augustus nodded. "Think of me being an Elf, but I'd definitely need to die." Clearing his throat, he moved closer to the Regalis. "I accept this role wholeheartedly. I will be a good ruler to your, and soon to be mine, people."

Angelo let out a sigh, but there was, as far as he could tell, nothing to be done. Manta Carlos didn't really meddle in the affair of other nations, let alone other worlds, and if the leader wanted to pick a random fucking fae off the streets and slap a crown on his head...

"Well, equivilent offer if you want me to go to... I don't know, a supply store?" Where did you even buy rocks?

But what was done was done, and whether Shale took his offer or not, Angelo was going to head out, apparently with Jaxon in tow.

Augustus grinned. He had nothing really tying him to this realm, save his job, but to leave it would be simple. "Actually, It can be done now."

"Very well," Cornelius agreed. "How would you like this to be done? I would rather this not be too messy; law enforcement would be concerned." Vaguely, he wondered if he should have taken Loralai's advice and had papers of consent written up. She had gone on about the logistics of converting somebody over after it became clear that her appeals to his morality were going nowhere. Frankly, Cornelius didn't see a need for it. As long as the participant was prepared, the process was perfectly safe except for the mandatory severing. Lucianne, for example, was converted over just fine.
