Choose Central Avenue's Own Princess Adventure

Princess AlicePrincess Alice

You are HER ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCESS AVENUE OF CENTRALIA.

You awaken as the sunlight streams in through the massive window opposite your bed. It's unusual for you to be awake during the morning hours, or indeed any regular hours, but you feel it's nice to see the daylight for once, and you're usually well-rested, so this seems like a good time to start your day.

You sit up in your massive pink bed and turn to your nightstand, upon which sit a telephone, your magic wand, three books, and a pair of glasses. As you reach for your glasses and put them on, your royal bedroom comes into focus. It's surprisingly small for a princess's bedroom, but it's cozy, and hey, you don't do much here besides sleeping anyway. You've got the rest of the palace if you want to entertain yourself, after all.

To your left, on the north wall, are your massive wardrobe and a rather fancy pink sofa. Directly in front of you is the beautiful window with its elaborate pink curtains. To your right, on the south wall, are two doors: one leading to your private bathroom and the other leading to the hallway.

Time: Friday, 7th June, 8:00 a.m.
Location: Palace, Princess's Bedroom

...Now what?

    >take over the world

    Everybody wants to rule the world.

    You admit you've entertained the idea at times, yourself, but it's hard enough ruling just one country, and ruling over EVERY country would massively eat into your free time.

    Plus, you haven't even had breakfast yet. Who wants to conquer the earth on an empty stomach?

    >Keep sleeping. If I could I would be sleeping all day #truNEET #nomorework

    You like the idea, but you couldn't go back to sleep even if you tried. You've already had a good four hours of sleep overnight and your body has decided that's plenty.

    >Kill the dragon

    There's no dragon in your bedroom, unfortunately. :(

    Actually, wait, no, that's probably a good thing. Because you don't really have any sort of weapon in your immediate reach, except maybe your magic wand. And you're not sure you've studied enough yet to be able to slay a dragon with magic alone.

    Besides, what did the dragon ever do to you? You know, if there was a dragon. Which there probably is somewhere, but not here.

    >wander around the castle

    You pull yourself up out of bed and head out the doorway. You start walking through the long corridors of the palace for a while, but you're not quite sure where you want to go. You could go entertain yourself in the royal library. You could go pretend you know how to stake at the royal staking rink. Or, since you haven't eaten yet, you could do down to the kitchen and have your cook prepare some breakfast.

    But for now you're just kinda walking aimlessly, because why not.

    >Tame the dragon

    Thinking about it some more, taming the dragon seems like a more humane way of dealing with him. You may be a monarch but you're not bloodthirsty, and you don't condone senseless violence. Plus, taming a dragon would be more in line with your current magical abilities than killing him anyways.

    Of course, this is a moot point anyway, because there's still no dragon in your palace.

    > Use the wand to transform the dragon's teeth into ice cream

    It's an amusing thought, if nothing else, but there's still no dragon here. And actually, your magic wand's not here either...you left it in your bedroom, remember?

    > go outside and play with your friends

    You really do want to go spend time with your friends today, but you're not quite ready yet. You haven't even changed out of your nightie, and it would be embarrassing for a princess to show her face in public this way.

    > pet the kitty

    As you're standing here pondering all this, your royal kitty walks up. You pick up him and pet all over him and he begins purring. He's getting fur all over your nightie, but you don't care because KITTY

    > Rush back to your bedroom, and obtain your wand.

    You hurry back to your bedroom—walking briskly, but not running, as running is not very ladylike—and retrieve your magic wand from on top of the stack of books.

    You love your wand. You never really feel safe without it. You fancy yourself as a mistress of Princess Magic, though deep down you realize you've got a lot left to learn. Still, you can at least do silly tricks like using your wand as a flashlight, so that's something, right?

    MAGIC WAND added to inventory.

    > wonder what the people at Belo think about trading their stake in the Food Network for broadcast stations in San Antonio

    You briefly ponder whether the Belo people regret their decision to trade Food Network for broadcast stations in San Antonio. Then you realize than San Antonio is far away and probably in a different country, so what does it really matter to you, you know?

    > Wonder what's for dinner.

    It may only be 8 in the morning, but it's never too early to start thinking about dinner!

    As a princess, you could probably have any food you'd like, but planning meals is kind of an overwhelming task at times, so most of the time you let the Royal Chef cook whatever she wants. As long as there aren't any peas in it, at least. A princess has to have some standards, you know?

    > smoke weed everyday

    The idea tempts you, but you'd rather not have the palace smelling of cannabis smoke. Not that the smell of cannabis is unpleasant, of course, but you like your palace neat and tidy and meticulously cleaned. You're kind of obsessive about it, honestly, but that's ok.

    Maybe you'll try smoking it sometime when you can get away from the place for a while.

    > walk the dog

    Even though you're a princess, you like to do some things hands-on. That's why it's always you, and never your servants, who walks your royal dog. But you can't do that in your nightgown, now can you.

    You go to the wardrobe and get dressed for the day. Normally you'd call one of your servants to change your clothes for you—because seriously, what kind of princess has to dress herself?—but you don't feel like waiting for someone, so you just pick out a dress and put it on by yourself. You guess it's a little weird to walk the dog in a dress, but hey, you have an image to maintain when you're in the public eye.

    You head down to the palace's kennel and get your dog, Cloverleaf, and head outside onto the palace grounds. There's a nice path that goes through your royal gardens, so you head down along it.

    > wave to your neighbors, or give them the finger, depending on whether or not you hate them

    You can't see over the garden walls—a palace has to have some security, you know—so you walk to the top of the nearest hill, which is just tall enough that you can see and be seen. On the street outside the garden, you see a family of tourists admiring your palace, and you give them a friendly wave. Her Royal Highness just waved to them—you've made that family's day!

    You guess that's kind of cheating, since you were supposed to wave to your neighbors, not random tourists, but hey, this is your kingdom, everybody is your neighbor! Also, shut up.

    (I guess I sorta contradicted myself there, in saying that you picked a dress because you're going in public but then had you go into a private walled garden, but whatever. I really am just making this up as I go along.)

    You may be a princess, but even you can't resist the deliciously unhealthy taste of greasy, salty fast food once in a while. You take Cloverleaf back inside—don't worry Clovie, you'll be back later—and head off to the nearest fast food place.

    As you leave the palace, you're joined by your bodyguard. He insists on carrying firearms wherever you go, which you like to tease him about, since you're plenty capable of defending yourself with magic alone. At least you like to think you are, though thankfully the opportunity to test this has not yet presented itself.

    After walking a short while, you find yourself on the main street through the city. You have a few different options here when it comes to fast food this early in the morning. There's a combination Wendy's/Tim Hortons on one corner, a McDonald's in the middle of the street, and Burger King on the opposite corner. Where to choose...

    Something tells you it's a McDonald's kind of morning.

    As you walk in, everybody sees you and quickly moves aside to let you to the front of the line. You're not sure whether this has more to do with the crown on your head or the gun in your guard's holster, but either way you politely motion for everyone to get back in line as you take your place at the end. It's not like you're trying to get into a sold-out concert or something; it's just a McDonald's line, and you have plenty of time to wait your turn.

    When it's your turn at the counter, you order a breakfast burrito for yourself, and, because you're the kindest and most generous princess who ever lived, you order a sausage biscuit for your bodyguard as well. The two of you then sit at a table by the window and eat your food as you look out at the street outside. Passers-by see you and wave, and you're sure to smile and wave back.

    Suddenly you wonder whether you made the right choice. Tim Hortons sells doughnuts, after all, and you can't get those here. Plus, you figure the Doctor is about 10% more likely to show up at Tim Hortons. How? Well, the Doctor isn't here, so there's a 0% chance of him being at McDonald's. That means there's a much better chance of him being at somewhere that's not McDonald's. And Tim Horton's is somewhere that's not McDonald's, which means the Doctor is way more likely to be at Tim Hortons than McDonald's. It's just simple logic, really. At least, you think that's how logic works.

    Ugh, you're thinking too hard for this early in the morning. Better just finish your breakfast.

    For some reason, your thoughts turn to ABC. It's a pretty respectable operation, you reckon, being Australia's public broadcaster and all. You've made sure your kingdom has had decent public broadcasting services, because for some reason you care about that, but you can't help but think that ABC does it even better. Note to self: catch up to the Aussies, you think to yourself.

    You briefly wonder which ABC station has the best callsign, but then you realize you don't even know how callsigns work in Australia, so instead you start thinking about the American Broadcasting Company. Oh, no question there, their best callsign is WXYZ. Get it? Because ABC is the start of the alphabet, and WXYZ is the end of the alphabet! You love a clever bit of wordplay. Except those aren't actually words. Letterplay, you guess? Why do American callsigns start with W anyway? Seems kinda arbitrary, and not the fun kind of arbitrary either.

    You're not sure why you're thinking about these ABCs to begin with, but you are sure you're finished with your meal, so your bodyguard takes your trash to the dustbin and the two of you leave McDonald's. As you walk out, you quietly hum "O Canada" to yourself. You're not the Princess of Canada, as far as you know, but their national anthem sure is catchy. Maybe you should steal it and write new lyrics. If America can get away with stealing "God Save The Queen" as "My Country 'Tis of Thee", you see no reason why you can't do the same.

    Whatever. Now you've just got to decide what you're going to do next.

    Put on some rocket shoes that look like silver turtles and fly around town. Don't hurt yourself, though!
    You use your patented Princess Magic® to conjure up some silver rocket shoes shaped like little turtles. This is gonna be so much fun! You position yourself at the end of the street, and get ready to launch the rockets, and...

    BAM!!

    You've zipped straight down the street and smacked straight into the side of a delivery van waiting at the end of the block. It's totally not your fault, though. Why, if this van hadn't parked illegally, you totally would have been graceful and majestic and not at all an idiot zooming down the street on rocket shoes. Guards, have the van towed, please.
    Apply cape and ridiculous orange sunglasses, incurring the envious weeping of numerous anime fanboys.
    You regain your composure, dispose of the rocket shoes by tossing them into a nearby trash can, and decide to go into a nearby costume shop, where you dress up like Kamina. Man, you're making some weird decisions this morning. You can't remember if you took your medication or not.

    All the anime fanboys in the costume shop bow before your complete awesomeness. You're used to it; after all, you always cosplay for the annual Queen City Nerd Stuff Convention. The crowd here isn't nearly as big as the one at QCNSC, but you enjoy the admiration nonetheless.
    Before doing any of that, check your phone and see if anyone needs your help with anything and/or wants to rope you into a crazy adventure.
    You check your phone, but as always, it says No New Messages. While trying to use magic to install CyanogenMonarch the other day, something went wrong and now your phone can't seem to send or receive any messages. It makes you wonder why you still carry the thing around with you, honestly...you can't even use it to upload selfies of your gorgeous, beautiful face to share with the world!

    Note to self: stop at Best Buy later and see about getting a new phone. Hopefully magic rooting doesn't void your warranty.
    years in the past, but not many...
    You think back to the not-so-distant past of 2008. The American Broadcasting Company was owned by Disney, your friend Gator was still an adjunct, and it was a very important year for you.

    Although you were crowned Princess upon the disappearance of your mother in 1997, all the important decisions remained in the hands of Regents...until May of 2008, when you graduated from the magic academy and assumed your duties as Head of State. Your first act was to approve funding for a major overhaul of Centralia's transportation network, because let's face it, transportation is important!

    Even though it was only 6 years ago, it feels so long ago...because it was before you met your beloved Prince.
