It seems quite a few of us have been reporting in on this forum lately, regarding one particular quest that a number of people seem to have completed last month — the one involving a trek into the forest to find a bell, ring it, and make a wish. Though I'm afraid the outcome of one of my wishes isn't quite as helpful to the goings-on of the town as some of the others I've seen posted, I did want to make a brief announcement regarding it.

Currently in Bluo resides a black four-door convertible with license plate RHS-113. We're still somewhat in the process of working out where and how to properly house it, much less drive it, but I digress. It belongs to Noctis, brought here courtesy of my wish. Please refrain from touching it.

I realize that making such a public request is really just inviting creative defiance of that request, but still, I suppose hope springs eternal. Please be considerate of the Regalia, and if you really must have a closer look, at least ask first.

Coincidentally, if anyone here happens to be a mechanic or have some familiarity with automotive repair, please let me know. I would be much comforted to know that if something does happen to the car, there may yet be a chance of repairing it.

is the problem with driving it because there's no gas or because there are no roads?

or did it not come with tires?

[unfatalist]

Because the roads aren't particularly suitable for it, yes. We're all right on gas at the moment, and the tires are all as they should be.

[queenofminiskirts]

what would need to be done to the roads to make it drivable?

[unfatalist]

We think the ones in Bluo are likely the most favorable for a drive, being marbled, but there's the problem of the broken bridges and whatnot as well. Ruga's cobblestones aren't exactly optimal for driving on, and Flavo's dirt paths are likewise.

It's a car meant for paved roads and highways, not anything off-road or for open terrain.

[queenofminiskirts]

someone could fix the bridges!

or! we could make the car fly over the bridges! if you go fast enough that's possible, right?

[...yeah. She watches too many action movies.]

[unfatalist]

Possible and advisable are two very different things, I'm afraid. And when it comes to this car, my default is always to the latter. It's unique, and quite important.

[queenofminiskirts]

what makes it important?

[She's not going to question that it is, because some things are just Like That. Still...she's curious!]

[unfatalist]

It belonged to a king, before we came into possession of it.

[queenofminiskirts]

so it's a historical thing?

did you get it at an auction?

[unfatalist]

Something like that, yes. We inherited it from its previous owner.

[queenofminiskirts]

really? wow that's nice of them!

how old is the car anyway?
