It's been raining all day today. It seems apropos, considering I've been Delayed Reaction to Shocking News Jones for the past few weeks. And I didn't even realise it until I talked to my mom earlier.
You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
(A Saturday evening at the magic school. Preteen!Princess Alice sits around the girls' dorm common room with her friends, including probably SF_Sorrow)
ROYAL SERVANT: Milady, your dinner has arrived.
ALICE: Excellent!
(The servant hands her some bags of Popeyes Chicken)
SHANNON: This is your "Royal Dinner"? The princess treats us to dinner and all you got for us is fried chicken?
ALICE: It's delicious American-style fried chicken. What else could you ask for on a warm night like this?
(Alice passes Shannon some chicken, which she tastes)
SHANNON: Ok, yeah, fine. But next time I want something a bit...classier.
ALICE: The Royal Treasury is not unlimited, you know.
SHANNON: Is that why you bought you and Sorrow those new laptops?
ALICE: It is not my fault the latest version of Alicorn Interactive's new point-and-click adventure series requires a 37-bit operating system.
SERVANT: Doesn't Alicorn Systems get a bunch of funding from the Crown?
