 
 _setting_name The Show Room Inside the Castle, Inside Castle 
 _setting_desc The Show Room Inside the Castle is meant to impress as well as cause fear to whomever enters the room.  The Duke who lives here is a hunter and keeps his captures here.  Some of the thinks preserved and shown on his wall are shocking.  The preserved eyes stare back and let you know the Duke knows no mercy, be careful what you say in this room.  The floor is white like ivory and the walls are also white, but the ceiling is painted and tells a story of the Duke's conquest.

 _partner_emote nod 
 _self_emote scream 
 _self_say How dare he make me wait. 
 _partner_say I believe he will need some time to clean the blood before he is ready to make his appearance. 
 _self_say I do not care. When I am here I expect immediate attention. He knows this. 
 _partner_say He also told me to give you this.  It is all that remains of your chief groomsman. 
 _partner_act give Bucket to prince 
 _self_say Why is he killing my men? Does he not know I am the only reason he's not dead by now? 
 _partner_say Apparently he enjoys the "sport of it" your grace.  We last at least half a dozen groomsmen during our last visit, if you recall. 
 _partner_emote shrug 
 _self_say Well, he needs to start killing someone else. I'll need to talk to him about this. Does this room not bother you ? 
 _partner_say Oh my goodness, it is horrifying!  I can never get any rest when we stay here - the Queen said I had nothing to worry about, but I am not so sure . . . 
 _self_say Are you sleeping with the Prince? 
 _partner_say My goodness no!  Why, I am old enough to be his grandmother for goodness sake!  Your uncle on the other hand - why, the tales I could tell you from half a lifetime ago . . . 
 _self_emote gasp 
 _self_say Oh dear. I hear rumors. My son likes them older.  Didn't mean to offend.
