An Offer of Help

"So will I," Astra said. "There must be a way out of this. But I suppose that they can hear everything that we say, which will make finding it difficult."

"Yes, they can hear anyone who talks to me. But I'm deeply grateful to both of you for your support. In the short term, the main thing is to proceed with Lord Fred's coronation. Apparently the Dark Ones find that highly amusing, though perhaps it is more all the attendant festivities that will entertain them."

"Can't you destroy this Eye Of Hayzus?" Astra asked.

"As far as I know it's indestructible... I'm sorry, but they say that you have to be punished - in an amusing way of course - for suggesting such a thing."

Astra sighed. "So is it to be the little girl outfit again?"

1. "I'm afraid so. For some reason they liked that. You will have to wear it until the coronation ceremony is over."
2. "No. They insist that you should compete in the gelatin swim with the knights and servants." [24717]
3. "No. From now on you will have to perform the duties of a chambermaid, and keep the palace clean. You'll have Princess Exotica to help you. They already imposed that punishment on her. There's a uniform, of course."
4. "No. I'm afraid that they insist on a physical transformation. Donkey's ears, to be precise."
