IC: Through the looking glass...

[thekingsgambit]

[So I guess it's still Halloween night and if you're leaving the mess hall after all that partying, you might now find yourself mysteriously situated around a loooong table in the center of the cornfield. Said table is decked out in a variety of tea cups in all designs and sizes, hundreds of little confections and cookies (each shaped like one of the four card suits) and equally creative pots of self-boiling tea. Oh, and Arthur is also sleeping in the center of the table, mysteriously wearing a striped collar of various shades of purple.

Each of our guests might also notice the intricately labeled name card in front of them and of course the new themed outfit they're suddenly wearing (or in some cases still wearing).]

[Imma Hatter. :|b]

That's what I've been trying to figure out.

[2nd-slinger.livejournal.com]

[... naturally.]

An' your findings are...?

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[Actually turning from Nunnally to notice him this time and giving a wholly un-innocent smile.]

You even have the ears...

[2nd-slinger.livejournal.com]

Heroic attention to detail, apparently.

Imagine my surprise.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

The rest of us did much better.

[2nd-slinger.livejournal.com]

I'm so happy for you. Really.

So, again--why are we sittin' at a costume tea party based ont he workd of whatshisname--Carol Linnaeus?

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

Lewis Carroll. And I thought strange things happen here all the time.

[2nd-slinger.livejournal.com]

[God, like my typing...]

I like it a lot better when they don't happen to me... 'Specially in such quick succession.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

Quick?

[2nd-slinger.livejournal.com]

Let's just say I've had a busy month.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

... Oh.

[2nd-slinger.livejournal.com]

I mean, one minute I'm tryin' to get the Cryptkeeper outta my bathroom, an' the next I'm dressed up like a character from a 1951 Disney flick.

It's a little off-puttin'.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

Cryptkeeper?

[2nd-slinger.livejournal.com]

Yeah--creepy old guy who tells scary stories and, y'know, keeps crypts. He's got so many bad puns mine look good by comparison.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

Why was he in your bathroom?

[2nd-slinger.livejournal.com]

Thanks to Halloween, the place I live was infested with bad guys an' monsters from all sorts of scary movies.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

That sounds impossible.

[2nd-slinger.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it kinda does.

But weren't you just tellin' me that strange things happen here all the time...?

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

That's weirder than the rest.

[2nd-slinger.livejournal.com]

What can I say? I lead a charmed life.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

Then you should have ended up as one of the royals.

[2nd-slinger.livejournal.com]

Psh... I'm from Brooklyn. We're way too egalitarian for that.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

I keep forgetting your Brooklyn is different.

[2nd-slinger.livejournal.com]

Awesomer, you mean.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

That's not a word.
