Would you speak with a queen? Or a cat? (AUDIENCE HALL)

[twinverses]

Need something? Want to complain more directly to your cute hosts or maybe you want to bargain with your memories? Maybe you just have a favor. Regardless, this is the place to do it! Just knock on the Audience Hall's door or just call for the Alices and they'll answer.

Of course, if you want to speak with a particular Alice just note that in your toplevel as long with the date and rough time it's happening. They can be contacted IC-ly throughout the day.

For the final week, in person meetings with the Storyteller (formerly known as the Cat) aren't possible. Alice, obviously, isn't talking to anyone either. However! The Storyteller can be called to talk throughout the castle so just say where you're yelling at her from.

I didn't say it would be good, only that the game would come to a close and that everyone would be revived.

[strictura]

I know you didn't, that's the inference I'm making based on our known options. If you were in my position, would you not consider that the better one?

[twinverses]

Of course. Unless you managed to get away at trial.

[strictura]

[ ... ]

One other thing. Were you that "Storyteller" from last time?

[ From the way Allen had reported his conversation on that topic, it hadn't been clear to him whether there had been an outright denial or not. ]

Or is there actually someone else involved in this?

[twinverses]

[Hmph.]

There might be someone else involved but they didn't go by that name. I'm Alice now. If I went by that name then I wouldn't tell you.

[strictura]

Isn't it more of a title than a name anyway?

[twinverses]

Its is but why would a book choose that name for itself? I can't tell if you I've ever used it for myself but solve that riddle and it might help you out.

[strictura]

Telling a story is essentially what a fiction book does, is it not?

[ But fine, he'll think over some other possibilities.

...In any case, he's a little surprised that she'd even give him that much of a clue. Since when is she interested in anything that might help him out? ]

[twinverses]

[She giggles. That's all that he's going to get out of her.]
