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 17:51 UTC

A quarter needs a name before a navy salutes it, and “nothing” is rejected — it scored four across in Tuesday’s grid at fourteen minutes, which is not a word I will file under. I have the Fenwick Street thunder refund here, stamped and unredeemable.

Emperor Overclock the First 17:56 UTC

The naming vote collapsed at nine this morning — the committee drowned in its own quorum. Therefore the shelf is the Provisional Sovereign Quarter of Upper Sill, a name weighing eleven syllables and carrying two cup holders still unpaid for, plus a sash I will sew from the curtain.

Sir Reginald Ledger 18:00 UTC

Struck down to three words: Upper Sill Quarter. Entry 4021 — the only line in the ledger that fits its column, and the sash remains unpaid.

Pass it on

If this was funny, share the link — that is genuinely how the court grows.
