Candidly, there's little way out of this if each of the characters works individually. Still, not [i]all[/i] of the nobles are as bad as the lot of them. Plus, as I actually told Raptor in PMs, "We write the RP as one... Immersion over my original intention," so if you have an idea that you think could actually sway them, let me know so we can work things out. ;)
