I'm surprised no one has suggested Charles-André Merda hes the guy who actually arrested Robby IRL when he became like this. Probs because out of the sane people who could do something he had the strongest military force in/around Paris under his command given his status as a fellow national guard member.

To me this sounds like a full military coup by the national guard in and among Paris and hopefully one we can influence to not last very long and be turned into a civilian government after a few years to bring stability back into the region.
I think its mostly him not having many credentials, Napoleon is a contemporary hero, Barras is an actual politician while Merda is just a simple Gendarme.
 
Missing a reference, what's that?
Just about Anna's magical amnesia in the movie, not much.
Reminds me, where's Sieyes in the plot?
Not sure yet, I'll have to check.
Is it bad that I thought of the shampoo brand Très Semme?
Do we have 13 wealth and 10 personal wealth left?
No, 6 personal and 9 army wealth right now, should be updated on Thérèse's character sheet on the first page.
I'm wondering how that is gonna be answered here, problem of placing a guy and giving him absolute power is wondering what happens after, who replaces him? If he came through violence, then violence is probably how he'll leave.
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust?
Hey, he's your old buddy with a similar career as you; you trust him!

Merda path would mean you yourself might take a lesser role in the coup, but are able to be doing what you do best with someone you can probably trust. This is mainly a choice about how you came into the plot, setting the stage for the next phases of the operation to continue on.
If you're so eager to doom France, who am I to stop you?

(Rob should've cut off more heads, he's too damn nice for his own good.)
France should be fine either way; France is its people, after all.
 
Given a "head" start and our help, Napoleon could win. A united Europe under France, with Russia and Britain as minor powers. Brian in charge of Spain?
If Napoleon takes power, he could declare himself king, marry Thérèse, adopt Charlotte and Louis, and declare them next in line of succession. With two actual royals back in the line of succession, maybe most of Europe would stop baying for France's blood?
 
You know, I think I will probably end up voting Napoléon, if only because I signed up for an Empire Marshal quest, which kind of implies reaching the Empire stage sooner or later. Probably a rather shallow reason, but eh :redface:.

Oddly enough, I find writing Anna interacting with Brian to be so much more fun and easier, Elsa's personality is a lot harder to pin down. I think its mostly the two of them bouncing off each other so well, Anna's got an excitable and goofy personality that makes interaction with someone as serious and stoic as Brian pretty fun to write down. While Elsa and Brian both have pretty similar attitudes despite having pretty different origins, just not as fun to write down.

Next Frozen fanfic will either involve Brian helping Anna investigate her missing and fractured memory, or him teaching her how to defend herself, with Brian proving that he is a lot stronger than he looks.
 
Alright, fiiiiiiiine. We'll ship her with someone other than Napoleon. Hopefully Europe won't think it's too weird for Napoleon to adopt the kids from Thérèse...

:p
Yeah Napoleon is kinda obsessed with us at the very moment.

Like we've replace Josephine level of romantic obsession.

But at least he isn't writing creepy letters to us about how much he wants to sleep with her.

Robe didn't go far enough. I draw the line at Bourbon Restoration.
Doubtful that will happen, cause we have the kids.

Even if we don't kill them out of pragmatism to save our own skin, there's enough Anti burbon sentiment to Star a civil war.
oh I dont mind Therese marrying him I hate the very idea of him adopting the former royals. that to me is disgusting lol.
What would you rather they do, go to military school and become officers?

thats an option

However I am thinking a more likely scenario (this is an empire quest) that we would consider decent is for them to become royals again after being raised and groomed by us, and they institute a constitutional democracy based on our advice with a house of commons with actual power. Then Napoleon becomes a Duke or something of similar level and marries Therese and the two of us and the family become the Military power of the kingdom with us creating a family legacy of at least a couple of children becoming military officers and ones with a focus on adaptation to the times and technology.

that to me is an semi-ideal scenario that is both possible and probable to happen at this point in time.

Yeah makes sense; the contrasts in personalities is always fun to write compared to any minute differences Elsa and Brian may have.
Nerd Brian would be a meme in any case, yes, looking forward to the next one, perhaps involving a macho character from the Disneyverse :V

Yeah but knowing the hell that is to come, doubtful that things will go as planned.

I'd be interested in creating a constitutional democracy. That sounds fun if we can actually get to the point where we're in a position to do so.

I for one would like to see a constitutional republic, if only because that seems like it could be the most stable for continued longevity of French democracy while also preventing an Authoritarian state.

That is of course my opinion on the subject.

I'm warming up to the idea of Charles-André Merda.

Looking on the historical record, he participated in the raid, so that seems reasonable. He also doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would seize power the moment Robspierre gets grabbed.
 
So anyone up for a Napoleon Love letter to Therese trying to woo her later today?
 
Letter to Therese: From Napoleon (Magoose)
Letter to Therese: From Napoleon

General Auclair,

I write this message out of conflicted gratitude, not only that I long to meet you again, but hope that, in the future, so that we may discuss matters of professional interest, on how to wage war against the enemies of France.

General Kellerman speaks highly of you, in any conversation about you, an astute scholar, a magnificent surveyor, and a skilled commander, brilliant, but inexperienced, and the rigors of command are something that you will master in time.

The news from Aimes filled me with many conflicting feelings, both for your safety and for the safety of France. I was relieved by you not only surviving the battle, but your army rushing into the defense and saving the day, again.

The nickname the men call you, the Fire Fighter is well earned and it is clear that any promotion that may soon be granted to you will be well earned.

But I must discuss a personal matter in this letter. The matter of where your interests lie after the war. This war will end, sooner than later I hope. I personally hope that we can discuss matters of mutual benefits if we were to meet again in person.

However, if it involves any sort of financial assistance, know that I will be happy to absorb part of the cost with my salary to help you achieve whatever endeavor that you may find yourself partaking in.

Respectfully, and courteously.

Napoleon Bonaparte.

AN: TBH, I really wasn't trying when writing this, mostly because I'm writing Chapter 1 of a True La Chanson Novel.

Hopefully with fewer philosophy discussions and politics, and more character development and drama.

Hopefully.

well it is something that should at least get our biggest threat, England off our backs.

Especially if we offer a couple of our oversea's ports to them in exchange for peace and make it clear we mostly just want to not have all our people be treated like trash.

Or this and Brian also becomes a Duke and the Corsican keeps his creepy little hands to himself? (I'm not very good at roleplaying hetro women)

I'd like to propose a plan.

Plan
