May it please the College of Arms

[Capt. Sir Mick Preston]

Approaches the seated Assembly

My name is Mick Preston.

If it so please the Squirrel King of Arms, I request the assistance of the College in designing and obtaining arms for myself and my lawful heirs.

I am a newly appointed Citizen of Talossa, and wish to pay respects to our Kingdom, Our King, Our Regent, the Houses of the Cosa, and my fellow Citizens. To do so, I believe I must bear, and proudly show arms to dignify the Kingdom.

I humbly enter this request, in hope of it's approval.


If granted, I would like to incorperate the following:

I would think that Vert and Argent must be the primary colours, for my Irish Heritage

I would also ask for a greyhound passant, for my love of Whippets, the "poor man's greyhound".

The College at Arms stands ready to assist with your design. Thank you for your request.

However, we in the College stand upon ceremony and protocol. It is unfortunate for you that in this time of web darkness, we cannot point you to the College's on-line library. Thus, we must ask you to respond to the Third Scrutiny:

What is your favorite colour?

Once you survive this ordeal, we can begin.

The Columcille Pursuivant of Arms stands ready to assist you with your design. He will report back to you and the College on the progress you have made.

Columcille Pursuivant, snowed under by ever so many things lately, including getting that Website thing you mentioned straightened out, does indeed stand as ready as can be (not as ready as usual, but hopeful that his schedule will free up in time to be of assistance).

Speaking in the third person, he is,

Mà Lord Hooligan -

Not to sound forward, or reeking of Hubris (which, by most accounts, is a most horrid stench for one to reek of),

I have a pretty good idea of what I would like on the Coat of Arms. So, at least that much is taken care of.

Worry about the Website thingy, for the good of the Kingdom. I'll be in the library, doodling my ideas on any blank sheet of paper I can find.

Oh, and most honored Squirrel King at Arms:

Blue.

I mean Red.

AAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!
