[ Since they didn't get out of their cells until much later than usual, Anastasia was actually hungry by lunch time. Usually she could spend time sneaking around to get something and not have to worry about someone questioning who the hell the girl who looked kind of like the Queen but from an alternate universe was if she just sneaked little snacks back to her room for the day.

But no, she was hungry today with how late they got out, and she was going to go to the cafeteria and she's going to sit there and enjoy herself some shawarma. She may hate the guy who got her into Middle Easter cuisine but she doesn't dislike the food he introduced her to.

Of course, if you are looking for the Queen, it's unlikely that you've seen her in a couple of days. It might even take a glance or two considering she's speaking with an entirely different accent than the one she had before and she's no longer dressed in red-- no, she's got a rather different set of clothing and boots on. ]

{{ OOC: For reference, her voice as the Red Queen, her voice with her actual accent as seen in this log. }}

When we first met you asked me if love had nothing to do with why I married and I told you that love was not enough. That'd be the biggest lie I told you.

[ There, now it's all out in the open and that's considered honest, right? Right. ]

[amberalert]

Love makes you weak.

[impureheart]

So does getting your kneecaps shattered, but no one ever warns you about that.

[ All sass aside though- ] If something makes you weak, you find a way to compensate for it. Anyone who can't manage at least that much doesn't deserve to win anyway.

[amberalert]

Was the original facade to compensate?

[impureheart]

The original facade was because I liked the way my voice sounded.

[ She'd started practicing before she'd even knew it was an option, after all. ]

And I do really like red.

Power doesn't last when you pretend, dearie. You have to make them real. I do hope that's what you're trying to do.

[impureheart]

If I'm going to be stuck here for the rest of my life, I'm going to find a way to balance power and my happiness.

[ Her voice takes on a slightly sterner tone, much more like when she had been playing queen. ]

I'm going to have everything and I suggest you don't get in my way, darling.
