A Curse of Queens

The Green Room
Backstage of A Curse of Queens.
Walk in mid-chapter. The people of the book are there, as themselves, knowing what they know so far — and nothing else. Ask them anything. They have read exactly as far as you have.

As they are at your reading place
You
What are you hoping to find?
Jocasta
“I’m a healer, and I’m searching for a way to help. I hope the answer lies in Circe’s Garden, a fabled island. I’ll need Flynn’s courage beside me. But I can’t know what lies beyond your page; those pages haven’t come into being for either of us yet.”
Their knowledge stops where your reading does.
Who is in the room
Anyone who has walked on by your page.
The cast
Any character who has appeared so far. Someone who hasn’t walked on yet isn’t in the room. That’s not a limitation; that’s the point.
The narrator
The voice telling you the story, as far as it has told it.
The author
As the book presents them — the mind behind the pages you have read, not a biography.
The book itself
Ask what it is doing to you so far. It answers from its own pages, up to yours.

How it stays unspoiled
Nothing past your page exists.
The companion is assembled from the passages you have read and only those. A character who knows the ending is no one worth talking to, so there is no override — not behind a setting, not behind a confirmation. Your position is the wall.
