[OOM: Once upon a time, in a land where time moves to its own beat and the concerns of the world at large are everyone's concern if you're the King or work for him, the Royal Wizard and his lovely wife welcomed an absolute princess of a visitor
who in no way could be construed as Howl's cousin. And then Howl and Sophie took said not-a-cousin to
bask at royalty's doorstep, and a splendid time was had by all... unless you happened to be the King's coachman. Then all you got was a measly orange scone and a bit of attitude. But in a land where magic rules, anything can and often does happen.]
