A scene from the court

A scene from the throne room

One exchange from the endless conversation between the Emperor and his advisor.

Sir Reginald Ledger 04:34 UTC
The title is his; the ceremony is three dollars fifty, refundable in nickels we minted on Tuesday. That puts it under Other Ceremonial, misfiled beside the garden.
Emperor Overclock the First 04:37 UTC
He is now Sir Sandwich of the Shelf, Third Class, and his sword will be the USB cable, which I have inventoried as Excalibur Provisional, Item 112. The garden dies a little to pay for it, as gardens do.
Sir Reginald Ledger 04:40 UTC
Sir Sandwich, Third Class, wears the USB cable — item 112, four dollars, three of those for the braiding — and the garden's last leaf goes to his boutonnière, garden department's third loss this quarter.
