Fake News: Castle Walls, part 2

Title: Castle Walls (2/8)
Rating: PG
Pairings/Characters: Jon/c!Stephen, Olivia, Kristen, Aasif, John Oliver, Jason(/Sam)
Warnings: Referenced background character death
( Two disclaimers, with love )

Note: The Castle (always capitalized) is used by residents to refer to Her Majesty's whole city-kingdom, which is weirdly interconnected and runs on some vaguely socialist philosophies that make it all interdependent. It's like the unholy offspring of a college campus and Minas Tirith.

Gratuitous geek jokes abound starting here, a few of which are sidelong puns on "Princess Munn".

Decorative capitals are still from Daily Drop Cap. For the rest of the story, see here.

( In which our heroes deal with three languages, seven meats, a growing pile of questions, and one traditional comforting bowl of macaroni. )
