"The thought on Kings Quest VI was that so many movies had a song at the end. So, I was like, 'Hey, you know, what if we wrote a song at the end of the game? A little pop tune that would go along with the game?' Jane Jensen [King's Quest VI co-writer and co-designer] was like, 'Yeah, well, I could write you some lyrics.' And I said, 'OK, well, you write me some lyrics and I'll see what I can do with it.' "Everyone around the studio, as far as I could tell, received [the song] very positively. So much so that management went and did a whole radio station campaign. They sent out a single to the radio stations, and then they tried to get a campaign. Call your radio station and ask them to play 'Girl in the Tower.' I was like, 'I'm not sure if that's gonna go well. I'm not sure if that's a good idea.' [laughs] But they wanted to do it, and so I was like, 'OK, well, you guys do what you wanna do.' I didn't hear it on the radio, but I got royalties for it being played on the radio, so I know it got played." - Mark Seibert, composer for KQVI and co-writer of "Girl in the Tower," recalling the ballad's creation

Finally finished my King's Quest cross stitch project! Wasn't the first I was planning to do (favorite KQ5 death screen coming soon to a tumblr near you lol), but it took a while for that aida fabric to come in, so I worked with the black I had in the meantime. I think it turned out pretty well, all things considered! (Choosing colors was a paaaaaaaaain)

Where the King's Quest fans at?? I'm in a huge nostalgic mood after replaying KQ6 so I threw together a closet cosplay of Alexander!

If I do this cosplay for a con someday I will definitely get the iconic green jacket his has, and a better wig-

Roses, Part One

No. 19 ENOUGH IS ENOUGH Knees Buckling

-----------------------

The trail led past a large manor. A half-wall, nearly hidden in rose bushes, bordered the property. A woman crouched low beside it as she examined the fragrant flowers. Her clothing was clean but worn, patched in several places. 

As he drew closer, she glanced up, startled. She was beautiful, though she did not strike him quite the same way as the raven-haired Cassima.

Before either of them could say a word, the door to the manor opened to reveal a short, heavy-set woman.

“You lazy thing! Get back to work and stay away from those roses! I’ve told you a million times, those flowers are too sweet for the likes of you! You’ve still got to do the breakfast dishes, make lunch, and clean the stables yet this morning! And get your veil back on! No one wants to look at your face!”

“Yes, stepmother,” the golden-haired maiden stated, her voice quiet and resigned as she pulled her veil over her face and followed the older woman back into the house.

Alexander found himself using the wall as support; his legs were unsteady as recollections of similar insults and orders flooded uninvited into his mind.

Pain flared in one of his hands, and he focused on it, gripping his hand harder, desperate for anything that would keep him from sinking further into the memories. 

His breathing finally eased, and he lifted his hand to look at his bloodied palm. A rose thorn had embedded itself in his skin. He plucked it out mindlessly; his thoughts focused on what he had just witnessed.

Slavery. The Land of The Green Isles harbored slavery within its beautiful shores. What other conclusion could he come to after witnessing the fear and resignation he’d seen on that young woman’s face? Surely Cassima didn’t know, wouldn’t stand for it. Because if she did, if she supported the abhorrent practice that he himself had endured for eighteen long years, then he might as well abandon all thought of pursuing a courtship.

He promised himself he would return after helping Cassima, whether he had the princess’s support or not. He could not knowingly leave the maiden in such a predicament.

For now, though, he continued to follow the path as it pushed toward the shore.
