   Summary

   The Hierarchy of the Island was simple so long as you followed one simple rule: don't piss off the Royal Court.
   The Giant, the Time Keeper, the Alchemist -- these were people born with a power beyond what any normal mortal could imagine, and more importantly, they had the skill to back it up. The King might indulge the rich and the lucky, but real Court could only be held by those blessed with the powers of the gods.

   Then the Jester came along, and the nobility had to reassess: Court could only be held by those blessed by the gods, and also by complete and utter fools.
   ___

   In which the Giant is confused, the Time Keeper is tired, the King is spiralling, and the Jester, quite literally, does not have a brain.
