♕ Game 46: Ruby

[dramatispersonae]

[You find yourselves in a castle corridor, well-lit and bright from the many windows that are phased along the left wall. If you look out of them, you can see out into a bright summer day in a place you would not recognise.

At the end of the corridor is a stone door. Etched into it is the face of a gargoyle, who regards you sternly.]

There were glass slippers, I think. And scarves . . .

Glass slippers are impractical.

[straydog]

Do queens or princesses wear practical things?

[adharma]

I suppose it depends on the princess.

[straydog]

[glances at their princess]

You would know better.
