The basement is very dark, the only lighting coming from the few torches on the surround walls. There are four pillars in the middle of the basement with only 1 torch on the inside of each pillar as they face each other. In the middle of the room there's a small rug laying under a table with some loose scroll paper on it. The walls are also lined with cleaning supplies for the maids to use.
Basement, Inside Castle

maid
I am a a maid in the Queen's chambers. I dust the furniture and wash her linens daily. I envy the Queen's wealth and admire her beauty. I desire to be just like her someday. I practice my cruelty on the other maid servants in the castle.
Why are you in basement sweet dog? I am down here to gather cleaning supplies. That is fine. I find predators in the garden. I am usually ugly and bark a lot. I do not like other animals. I don't think you are ugly. We have something in common. I hate the other maids. I like to be mean to them.  But I have spoken with some other maids before...they appeared nice I hate them. I have to dust the Queen's furniture and do her laundry. She is so gorgeous and rich. I want to be like her someday. You give yourself such useless hope. You can never be the queen Don't say such things.  I am just being real I am the Queen's favorite. I make up lies about the other maids to get them in trouble.  You such a bad maid You don't know the half of it. I am scheming to get time alone with the king. The Queen is so beautiful but she won't be young forever. wow..you have it alled planned out. I need to warn the queen
