Blue had done nothing but complain of his boredom, right from when Raven had finally brought down a deer. Sick and tired of Blue's whining, he picked up as much of the deer's innards as he could and threw them at Blue, hoping that he would amuse himself with them and finally be quiet. “Eww, that's disgusting!” spat Blue. “What's wrong with you?”

“You love playing with intestines,” pointed out Raven.

“Don't stereotype me!” snapped Blue. Raven had absolutely no idea how to respond to that, but he knew how to respond when Blue threw the intestines back at him.

Since money had been tight as of late, Raven was out in the woods, with a bow, hunting deer. It would have been a lot easier had Blue not decided to follow him, and had he not been making disparaging comments about Raven's archery skills the whole time. “You know, I don't see you doing much to help,” snapped Raven as he missed yet another shot and the herd of deer once again fled along the trail. Blue reached to take the bow away from Raven, thought about it, and the dropped his hand and walked off down the trail.

General Mary-Tzu of the Mary-Sue army was not happy. Having finally gotten everything in order for the coronation of Mary-Suetopia's new ruler, Mary-Tzu was looking forward to a much deserved break. A break she would have been enjoying right then, had the newly appointed Queen not been poisoned at her own coronation. Now Mary-Tzu was going to have to oversee yet another coronation of yet another monarch, not to mention that she was going to have to continue her governance of the realm in the meantime, and possibly declaring war on whoever was responsible for this unwanted turn of events.

Blue had actually managed to drink himself through most of Raven's liquor cabinet, and Raven had taken the last of it to his office, where Blue couldn't get it. The only solution was for Blue to go into town and to one of the taverns, but he couldn't exactly walk there when he could barely walk. He tried riding into town, but had barely gotten ten metres down the path before he'd fallen off his horse. “Are you trying to ride while drunk?” called Raven, from the window in his office, and Blue couldn't be bothered to flip him off.

In the land of Mary-Suetopia, General Mary-Tzu of the Mary-Sue army was trying to oversee the coronation of a new Queen, something which still hadn't been successfully achieved since Blue had murdered their last queen all the way back in the first book. The problem, she'd found, was that the country was in fact filled with Mary-Sues, and the thing about Mary-Sues is that they all thought they ought to be Queen. It didn't help that every single Gary-Stu in the royal family had been with so many women that half of the country could lay claim to the throne.

Blue had let himself into Raven's once again fully-stocked liquor cabinet and has drinking himself into a stupor when Raven came back inside. “Have you noticed,” he asked, causing Raven to stop where he was, “that you're getting increasingly more neurotic and that I'm drunk before noon? It almost seems like we're switching places.” He took a moment to think, before adding, “I don't think spending this much time together was a great idea; we're getting a little co-dependant, don't you think?”

“I think,” replied Raven, moving to take the bottle away from Blue, “that you ought to stop drinking.”

After Blue had made an uneducated guess as to which bale he has supposed to feed the horses, spot-cleaned with the other, and traipsed all the way to the well and back to fetch clean water, Raven Finally wandered into the stables, just as Blue was pretty sure that there was nothing left to be done. He took a quick look around, noted all that had been done, and asked, “Blue, why did you feed the horses straw?” Deciding to just give up rather than stay and argue, Blue went back into the house and left Raven to fix it.
