The Mansion of E - Wednesday , December 2 , 2009
[[Leaving the River of Fire. All the panels are outlines. This is a map of the countries just to the south of "Mansionland".]]
Sylvester: Ah, Blefuscu. What do you already know about them?
Rosemary: Not much. Um. I can find it on a map. Which is why I asked.
Rosemary: We trade with them a lot. The capital is Sirap. The ruling family is the.. Hulots?
Sylvester: Again, you're already doing better than a lot of people.
[[A split panel showing the two of them eating the same squid-like creature in different restaurants. Sylvester's is more upscale.]]
Rosemary: Oh. They have a thing about food. Cooking. In Ootope, I ate at a Blefuscan restaurant. Le Harbormaster. It was.. weird, but good.
Sylvester: Yes. I splurged a couple times in the Capital myself. Anatole of Le Snodsbury. The man was a genius.
[[Clouseau standing between two other diplomats, both of whom are yelling.]]
Sylvester: But, to answer your question.. the Blefuscan foreign minister..
whatisface.. Clouseau.. he's another genius, has managed to stay neutral
with the Thekla/Incana thing. For now.
Sylvester: If they do get drug in on one side or the other.. it could turn ugly for everybody.
