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.

[Hmm...]

Do you know who the Storyteller is?

[twinverses]

It's a title, isn't it?

[The answer comes too quickly. She's not looking at him, licking at her paw.]

There's no one who goes by that name here anymore.

[xxxx_me]

Was it one of the kids who was here before us? Or was it a title for someone like you or the Father?

[twinverses]

Someone more like me.

[There's a pause.]

Still. That's a dangerous title. I wouldn't say it carelessly.

[xxxx_me]

Dangerous how?

[Curious now.]

[twinverses]

Why, only a storyteller can decide how a story ends, right?

[Is this even an answer.]

[xxxx_me]

...Is the Storyteller the one who led the last time with the other kids? Was the Storyteller trying to make them make a story?

[twinverses]

Mm, why not ask me those questions later? I think it's a little soon to answer.

[xxxx_me]

Why is it always "too soon?"

Is this...

Is this all just a story to you, too?

[twinverses]

Life is a story, Allen. We're all books in our own ways.

[xxxx_me]

No, we aren't.

[twinverses]

We have beginnings, middles, and ends.

[xxxx_me]

But we aren't stories. Stories have writers.

People... people don't. You can write stories about them, but they're not just stories.
