That's it. It's all over. The overly dramatic and equally inexperienced duchess thought.  I just introduced my self in High Imperial, and I'm not even on Scadrial... Why does this always happen?

 

Before she could sink too deeply into the depths of tragedy and woe, however, she noticed Snoopy failing to speak proper High Imperial. "Hey! Snoopy!" She called, rushing over and trying to distract herself, "What did you think of my petition? Do I get the job?! I'd make an awesome Bard!"

"Yes, indeed you would," Snoopy grinned. "I was, quite honestly, struck with the simplicity and beauty of your compositions." He leaned in to her ear. "Lindel has an extremely tough act to follow." Snoopy.straightened and respectfully requested a dance from the Brightness.

Blushing furiously, she glanced away, noticing for the first time the musicians playing quiet music to accompany the court proceedings. Now when did they get here...? She wondered, You know what? Never mind. Random, conveniently placed musicians. Why not. Why. not. Turning back to Snoopy, she managed to squeak out a "Why not?"

Posted

There is absolutely no way she's going to say yes. She probably doesn't even know how to dance. She's gonna put me down so fast that--"Why not?"

Snoopy, stunned, attempted to reply. "Wait...seriously? I mean, you'll really, actually, dance with me? You don't have to, if, I mean, you don't want. WHY DO I HAVE TO BE SO AWKWARD?! She was probably being sarcastic anyway.

"No, no!" Brightness Random exclaimed before she could stop herself, "I love dancing! I've just never been much good at it..." Embaressed, she looked down at her feet, and she noticed something. She noticed her boots were dusted with frost. Ice...? she wondered, Why is there ice on the floor...? A sudden realization took her.

I'm still in the Court! She felt like face-palming. Hard. Great, now everybody's staring and...Oh, Rust and Ruin, this is just perfect. She thought sarcastically. Looking back up, she laughed uncomfortably and tried to think how to handle this best. "Well, there is a dance off going on... or was until I came an introduced myself... so yes, dancing! It's what all the cool kids are doing. Cool kids... in the frozen palace..." she trailed off awkwardly, fidgeting her digits. Digiting?

The new duchess stood starstruck at the many notable Sharders now in the room. After a few minutes, she finally began to blink again. Gathering herself, Brightness Random bowed deeply in turn to each of the new arrivals, "Wasing the greeting," she began, "Of the honorable baron, LeftVash; the distinguished DJ, Cheese United; and the celebrated King Kobold."

Looking back up at the trio, a thought suddenly struck her: I really hope they use High Imperial for formal occasions here in Newcago...

"Wasing the sometimes of using High Imperial in Newcago Court. Princess Delightful, Baron LeftVash and I are usually the most fluent in it, but we don't mind weather you use it or not."

She smiled an understanding smile.

The dance off continued, The root beer was flowing, the music blaring and the chocolate was disappearing quickly.

DJ Cheese saw all, even the chocolate disappearing. However, he was too absorbed in his strange music to care. All he wanted was the root beer.

Distracted from her dancing, Elsa turned and saw the chocolate was gone.

Queen Elsa turned toward a row of servants, walking around serving root beer. "Gerda. We need more chocolate. Now."

This didn't half surprise them. They were well used to the Queen's obsession with chocolate.

Soon, maids started to bring in chocolate bars, chocolate ice cream, chocolate mousse, chocolate pudding and chocolate cupcakes.

Surreptitiously an extra maid entered, carrying a platter of chocolate chocolate chip cookies.

Side stepping any and all cookies, Brightness Random settled down with a mug of root beer in one hand and a bowl of chocolate pudding in the other, watching the rest of the court.

 

"I love Newcago..." she said blissfully, devouring spoonfuls of pudding.

Posted

Unbeknownst to the dancing nobles, Cheese had secretly replace all the chocolate with sugar free chocolate. He had then proceeded to eat all 1,378 chocolate bars, 15 cakes, 1 ton of the ice cream, all the mousse, and all 10,324 cups of chocolate pudding. He regretted nothing. How a simple slice of cheese had managed this even he didn't know.

Brightness Random absently wondered at the taste of her fourth bowl of pudding. She had eaten the past three so quickly she had hardly realized that something about the chocolatey treat seemed a little off.

 

Suddenly suspicious, she licked a bit of pudding of the edge of her spoon and closed her eyes in thought. After a moment, she leapt to her feet.

 

"Someone," she shouted, "Has sabotaged my pudding!"

A pile of untainted chocolate appeared amidst the court with a small note on top.
With regards from the Dark Alley, just this one it's even spike-free.

"Newcago is cool, isn't it?"

Queen Elsa turned to the table and took a bowl of the chocolate pudding and tasted it.

"Duchess Random, you're right. It tastes a little off."

"Who would have the guts to sabotage a royal pudding?"

Queen Elsa snapped her fingers in frustration. Immediately, two guards stood at other end of the food table, watching the food. Then even more maids brought out, yes, even more chocolate flavoured food.

"I apologise for the sabotage, Duchess, I will try see that it is avoided."

Frodo sat in his chair to the side, avoiding conversation, quietly eating multiple cookies, no one knowing that he had replaced Voidus' spike-free cookies with...

well, what did you expect? More cookies.

Little did they know, Redbird had replaced all of the cookies with raisin cookies!

Little did they know Cheese was planning the slaughter of the century, starting with redbird. Luckily, he fell unconsoius (however you spell that) from all the chocolate food he ate and forgot the past 24-hours. More specifiaclly his newfound hatred of Redbird

Little did they know that they actually knew what they didn't know that they knew.

Mind blown by Voidus' comment, Frodo rose and subtly moved to a nearby door. He entered the empty room, which had a staircase on the other side. He peaked down the stairs to check for sources of light or noise, but there were none, so he went downstairs and lit a torch mounted on the stone wall. He summoned his Shardblade and carved an altar for Voidus, the mighty god of things that people actually knew what they didn't know that they knew. Beside this he carved a stone statue into the chamber's wall, depicting Voidus holding a tray of cookies.
