Starter for @thecaptainalice
A few days had passed since Alice, currently known as Um, had been declared the childish queen’s new favorite and court life had already resumed as usual. The pecking order had shifted somewhat, and there were a few ladies who seemed put out. How could a newcomer wreck all their work in one silly interaction? There was nothing they could do for it, though. At least not yet.
In the meantime, the newest courtier was largely free to do as she pleased. She was expected at tea, as was most of the castle, but was the mistress of her own destiny. The castle at Salazen Grum was expansive and maddeningly complicated to traverse. However, all passages lead back to the grand hall at some point, so starvation was unlikely.
