Silas, city of

"Welcome, can I take you on a tour of our beautiful capital?"   "How much will this cost us?"   "Only a credit, we are not thieves,, this city is to beautiful, I would talk about it for free!"   "I can afford ten credits, if you spare me the 9 credits worth of sponsored tourist content..."   "Oh, such a seasoned traveler. All right, here, please pay attention, you're just leaving the most interesting spot in all of Silar, the Electoral Palace of Silas-Saer, commissioned years ago as a beacon of prestige and civility. I could talk about it for hours, but you just saw it up close."   "And I'm here, and I inherited the palace, and I'm all out of civillity."   "Sis!"   "Ok, I have some civility left, but you gotta be nice, like my brother!"   "I''m sure he's the epitome of civility, we know all about him, and his girlfriend!"   "What?"   "Your girlfriend, the bodyguard of the Kagomine Empress? She's been on broadcast here!"   "We really ought to have better blackouts then!"   "Oh, they're not sanctioned?"   "I don't think I've done sanctioned broadcasts since I was about 8..."   "Bro! You talked to the media in a foreign land? You're lucky mom's dead, she'd spank you!"   "Sis!"   "Ok, ok, please, friendly guide, show us the city that isn't the palace."   "Oh, sure, we walk down Mozzverdi avenue, heading to the docks, where the flowers of the Sarn shipbuilding industry are mothballed, with insufficient funds for their upkeep, except for the famous King Karel. Named after King Karel, MST-8 King Karel II, King of Sarn is the third oldest tallship still maintained by its owning nation, after the EMS Ambulon and the BVV Phoenix."   "Every year, a tug carries the poor thing around to show it can still sail, but it's a sham, the ropes and pullies are all rotten."   "How hard would it be to bring it back up to spec?"   "No one knows, milady, certainly it would take some specialized knowledge."   "Amarat, didn't you tell me you know people who work at brescian shipyards?"   "Kinda." He didn't want to say to Luci that he knew quite a few of them, and that through their companies, he and her employed... almost all of them.   "Any of them working on your sailboat, Flora Rolli II yet?"   He stuck his tongue out at her. "I'm not calling my ship after Flora, when a ship gets wet, it's un-natural."   "You are in such trouble, Amarat Jr Veneer, you just wait!"
