The random article:
Things grew worse the further in Joseph went, and his breathing grew fast and shallow as he followed
the familiar path to the dark heart of the new Court. There were severed heads nailed over doorways,
stinking of cheap preservatives. Joseph thought he recognised a few of the faces. Once he passed a row
of hanged men, with blackened faces and protruding tongues, the nooses sunk deeply into the stretched
necks. The last one was still swaying slightly. Unexplained bloodstains smeared the floor and walls, as
though some monstrous dog had been marking its territory. And sometimes there were screams, and
other disturbing sounds. All symbols of the Emperor$prime;s power and authority and perhaps his state of mind.
Joseph walked on through the shadowy passages, carefully looking neither left nor right, and just the
discipline of doing so meant he was sweating hard by the time he reached what had once been King
Douglas$prime;s private quarters, since commandeered by the Emperor Finn for his own use. Two large and
muscular guards at Finn$prime;s door put Joseph through a full body search with hand-held scanners before
reluctantly letting him pass. They knocked on the door for him, and pushed it open. The smell of a good
dinner wafted out, but Joseph didn$prime;t feel any less uneasy. He took a deep breath, arranged his features
becomingly and walked as casually as he could manage into the lair of the Beast.
The reception room was unfurnished except for the dinner table, and the surroundings were very plain.
No visible comforts or luxuries anywhere. The floor was polished wood, no carpeting, and the walls
were bare. The lighting had been turned down only pleasantly low, and the table was covered with all
kinds of food and wine, with settings for two. Joseph allowed himself to relax just a little. It seemed he
was expected to last the length of the meal, at least. Finn came around the table to meet him, smiling
warmly.
