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.

Comments are screened until the game is over.

It's probably a little harder to heal your wounds than it might be in a different situation, even if the Alice-san who is a cat has very strong magic.

And do you feel a little stronger today?

[twinverses]

Yeah. I haven't felt tired since Violet died.

[She feels a little sick to her stomach, actually. This isn't a good feeling.]

I can even go outside the audience hall now. I bet I could even make it to the library if I wanted to. [She had been feeling great about it until...]

[prescience]

[That's interesting...it seems less like the energy is running out and more that it is growing cumulatively, now that more than one person has died in the castle halls.

Sensing the unease, she doesn't interject any more opinions, still patiently listening for more.]

Is that what you were trying to do when you left the audience hall yesterday?

[twinverses]

Mm. I wanted to try it myself instead of asking someone.

[Something seemed different about when Ib died and when the case happened. She's not sure why.]

[prescience]

[She hasn't forgotten about Alice's worries yet, and she'll press that issue much later. But - ]

But you want me to bring it back now.

[twinverses]

Yeah. I'm scared, Miss Oriko.

[Of other people like Veronica.]

[prescience]

[Aren't all of them scared of being attacked by another random person?]

I can bring it back for you if you'd like me to this time, and I'll bring something new.

... After seeing what happened, I'm not sure anyone will try and attack you in the halls again.

[twinverses]

Oh? I'd like that!

[She leans on Oriko, grabbing her arm.]

What if she didn't hear me, though? That's what I worry about...
