...

Well hullo there.

Yes, that's a lovely little jig you're dancing.

No, 'fraid I can't join you. I stopped doing crack years ago, you see.

But hey, don't mind me.

You go right ahead - the music sounds fine for it.

[pause for cig. puffing; chuckling]

[[ooc; John is talking at it, yes :D;]]

...Are you talking to a dancing crackhead?

Nah.

It's a dancing puff of smoke, is what it looks like.

And... you're talking to it?

If I'm seeing it, I must already be losing my mind, right?

Might as well.

Encouraging hallucinations doesn't sound like a good idea. Might decide to stick around.

Like all the other crazy shit in this castle?

I think people've been paying way too much attention to that crap. If they ignored it it might get bored and screw off. But nooo, it's all "hey everybody, look at the weird shit!"

Or it might get persistent, and really start acting like weird shit.

Besides, it's sort of amusing.

And it's not trying to kill me - that's a plus.

Haven't caught sight of any on your floor?

Well if it really acts like weird shit, then paying attention to it is fully justified. As is, compared to the rest of the shit that goes on it barely qualifies as more than a passing bit of 'what the fuck'.

Saw some earlier. Decided it would be better to stay inside for the time being. If I want to see shit like that I'll get high intentionally.

True. Guess I've just really got nothing better to do.

[a chuckle]

Oh, really now...

Which one would this be~?

Which?

You keeping track of them then?

It's a darkish green puff of smoke, dancing a jig.

And taking careful notes. I've never quite attempted something of this sort before, you see~

Is it any good at jigging~?

So you made this things?

They're all over the castle, from what the journal looks like.

Well. I'm not expert on the subject, mind, but I'd say yeah.

It's pretty good.

Yes, I did~! I've had an awful lot of free time, you see. And it was simply much to quiet for mine and Sonic's likings, so we banded together and decided to make a little harmless noise~!

Oh, good. I'd hate it if a little slice of my own imagine failed at something as simple as jigging, really~

It was getting pretty settled here.

Can't have that in a place like Paradisa.

Figments, hm?

And who's imagination might that be?

Oh no no no no of course not. That would be simply ghastly.

It would be the imagination of a Hatter. Some call him Mad. The Mad Hatter, some might even go so far as to say~~~

The Mad Hatter?

Straight from the Tea Party?

Although it was honestly more like this:

{ the Hatter draws an entirely-too-complicated diagram where the most you can get is that he came from Wonderland and brought the tea-party and a couple chunks of Wonderland with him. It could also be guessed that the diagram shows the March Hare and the Dormouse stayed behind }

[bit of a pause where John reads through all the words]

I like indubitable, myself.

[and another in which he watches the diagram being drawn out]

I get it.

Too bad your friends couldn't come too. It's not a proper tea party by yourself, is it?

I myself am a fan of bona fide, simply because it's difficult to remember the spelling of~

Yes, well... The Cat came to visit for a while, but it didn't much like tea. I've had Haine and Miss Wolfina join me on occasion, though~ Then it's a bit less like tea and a bit more like a party.

Perhaps you should join us sometime?

No, guess it'd like cream more.

[a quick pause as John imagines the wtf-ery of having tea with the Mad Hatter]

Sure, why not?

When do you take your tea?

4 or 5 is pretty usual, I think.

Quite~

Hmmm~ I must insist on having tea at six o'clock, as that is what I'm used to. Anything otherwise and I might find my sense of our good friend Time even more askew than it already is, and that wouldn't be helpful at all. ♥

6 o'clock it is then.

Just let me know.

Can do and will do~!

[laughter]

It dances, it dances~

To it's own music, too.

I feel like a one man audience.

Nuh-uh. They spin the swirles and it's pretty so I see too~
