[ When the White Queen comes into view she is no longer bustling about. In fact, she is sitting, a bit slumped in her throne chair. Her hair is going every which way but that’s not exactly the important part.
She is not in color.
No red lips.
No pure white hair.
No white dress glittering in white diamonds.
The queen is no longer in color. She is black and grey. No colors, not even white. Just black.
And grey. ]
Oh, my darlings. This...debacle has taken quite the toll on me. As you can plainly see with your very own eyes. But, everyone who should not be here has now gone back to their own homes and times and everything is now right and correct.
[ She lets out a soft wail of what could be regret. ]
I’m so sorry. This is all my fault! I only wanted to have a good party and decorations and then finally a feast. On, I wanted us to have such a splendid feast. But, it was more important to fix things, you see. This is still your home, for as long as you are here, and it should not be broken.
[ She shifts, letting out a heavy breath. ]
I do need to apologize beyond my own weak words, darlings. And as a token of my apology, I am throwing all of the Reals a New Year’s Eve ball. You’ve had so much chaos on your side and for that, I truly, truly apologize. It will be a formal affair so dress appropriately please. Your ball will last from 8 p.m. through midnight. There will be food and drink and decoration, though not quite as much decoration as if I hadn’t...
[ Here, her chin trembles. ]
If I hadn’t...
Broken things.
[ Pull. It. Together. Things will go better next time, at least...that’s what she has to tell herself. ]
Anything that happened was only because I wanted things to be home away from home, if I could, for all of you.
[ She looks so tired; she is tired, and she sighs heavily. ]
I think I should sleep. Yes. Sleep for quite a while. Please. I very much need to rest. I need rest.
[ And with that, the video feed ends. ]
