Alicent and her family have arrived at the beach. They realize after the two hour trip they have forgotten Daeron at home. They are not going back.
Rhaenyra has arrived with her family, the only food they have brought is a bag of cheetos.
Rhaenys has her granddaughters sorted already, only sunscreen left!
Daemon is moping in the ocean meanwhile.
Viserys and his least favourite daughter are having creative diferences about the sand Valyrian model. She wants to put pink seashells, he refuses. Alicent ends up scolding him.
The kids find out someone has finished all the ice-cream. Lucerys has been crying for half an hour. It was Daemon.
Helaena has found a crab she calls Herbert, no one wants to get near her. Aegon has passed out, being buried in sand as a punishment.
Rhaenyra has promised Aegon a beer if he distracts everyone while she flirts with Daemon. Viserys feels something is not right but can't figure out what. Jacaerys is just happy to be included.
The day at the beach was a success!!! No one was seriously harmed and everyone had fun.
Imagine how chaotic monopoly would be between Rhaenyra, Aegon, Aemond, and Daeron. I’m excluding Helaena because a) someone has to be the banker and b) there’s no way she’d be wanting to get involved in the conflict.
Rhaenyra and Aegon take super seriously and begin fighting over who gets the top hat piece. Daeron and Aemond don’t take it to that level, but if someone tries to take the dog piece away from Daeron, there will be war.
Rhaenyra gets the top hat because she calls in Viserys to get her way, leaving Aegon stuck with the thimble. Aemond gets the race car and Daeron gets his dog.
The game goes on for several hours and eventually Helaena quits her position as the banker to check on her bugs, leading to all out war among the others where the brothers try to team up to pull their money together to try and bring Rhaenyra to bankruptcy. The game only ends when Alicent gets to fed up and takes the game away.
The worst part was that Aemond knew that Luke had merely typed and sent that message without a thought. No regard for how this was gonna ruin Aemond’s fucking day and stop him from getting any work done. His nephew was just careless like that.
Also what did xoxo mean? Was that more slang for love you? He exited the message app, sliding open the search engine.
A quick search and something called urban dictionary revealed that xoxo was apparently code for hugs and kisses.
Aegon has been caught trying to buy stuff in his father's computer. The only thing he could come up withas an excuse was that he was trying to download Minecraft to play with Daeron while his little brother is in boarding school.
To make it believable Aegon shows Viserys how to play. His dad is unimpressed until he finds out tou can build stuff.
It is a success and has the unitended consequence of Viserys enjoying the game a bit too much and inviting his best friends to play with him.
Lyonel is retired and has nothing better to do. Otto, although retired, will take any chance to get a bit of his influence back. Rhaenys forced Corlys to go and socialise with people instead of tinkering the whole day with his boat.
Things go out of hand soon. By the time Lyonel voiced the moral quandry of messing with the villagers both Otto and Corlys already had enslaved them, and were breeding them for the best trades. They have monopolized the emeralds, their power is getting to their heads.
Viserys is very damn excited to fight the Ender dragon and would like for his friends to focuss and follow the plan.
Corlys has been exploring the sea and raiding underwater temples.
Otto has built a light tower and is mining his heart away (he sells the diamonds for outrageous trades but it's still better than searching for them yourself).
Lyonel is just happy to keep his animals and build them little houses and penns.
Aegon doesn't know how he ended up having to hang out every Sunday morning with a bunch of sixty year olds, but now he is too invested to back out. (Viserys gives him pocket money afterwards because he forgets Aegon is no longer fifteen so it works out)
"maybe his mom’s prayers had worked. maybe, after all, aegon did find ‘god', but not a guy in a pale white robe, with a halo adorning his head. but someone close to him, closer than gods or men. his own blood, wrapped in snow white skin, with haloed hair, both adorned in and saturated with moonlight."
