001 ♝ video ♝ open to both courts
[ While the small stack of books in front of her have certainly come from Caer Scima's library, Ariadne is in her room within the castle, seated on her bed. Asleep with its nose sticking out from her back, head resting on an open book, is a bandersnatch cub -- rather like a cat, it appears to have decided to 'help' her research. ]
If you could protect something -- say, a building -- from anything, what would you protect it from? I've thought of fire, high winds, earthquakes, mosquitoes, falling trees, and hail so far.
[ In the background, the door to her room appears to open slightly; with the wind, perhaps. ]
I'm an architecture student, back home, and there are a lot of possibilities here.
[ She looks like she's about to say more, but just then a glowing red imp leaps onto her head, screeching and yanking at her hair. The bandersnatch cub jerks awake and Ariadne screams, the locket flipped over so that all that's shown for a moment are the sheets on her bed. It's turned up again a moment later, falling onto the floor and on its side this time, followed by a loud thwack.
The imp falls to the ground, dazed; in the next moment, a thick, leather-bound book with a pawprint on its spine slams into it a second time before the bandersnatch cub races forward and grabs onto the imp's legs, shaking its little head and growling in a way that would be adorable if it weren't trying to maim something. ]
Oh, don't- [ before the locket is closed by the hand reaching for it, there's the sight of broken skin and blood -- sharp little imp teeth had found their mark. ]

[ She will not be broken up about not speaking with Nanny. The most she'll do is scold Alice and proceed to drown herself in alcohol again. This, however, is relevant information as she will pass it onto the others in her group.]

[ She wishes she did. ]
I... well, I was more concerned with whether or not this place was real and the fact that the queen has wolves.

What is the queen like?

[ Tucking some hair behind an ear, she adds: ] She was kind to me, but I don't think she's very patient if you upset her.

"Well, she was the face of evil in the Heart of Darkness." ]
Then she sounds like another that isn't to be trusted, no matter how kindly.

[ But she does like Morla, despite herself. ]
The king -- he, um, he's a suit of armor.

Really?
