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).]

[... dude. Low blow.]

It does, huh...?

... then I guess I can put up with it for a little while longer.

Thank you, Rico.

I'm not singin' the Unbirthday Song, though, okay? That's where I draw the line.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

Unbirthday song?

[2nd-slinger.livejournal.com]

It's from the movie version. Assumin' the Monster Squad has moved outta the 'Rama, I'll dig up the tape an' show you kids later, okay?

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

... I guess Nunnally would enjoy that.

[2nd-slinger.livejournal.com]

Try not to sound too excited.

Do you even know how to have fun?

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

I'm having fun right now.

... you are the boringest seven-year-old I've ever met.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

I'm nine!

... you are the boringest seven-plus-two-year-old I've ever met.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

Boringest isn't a word either.

[2nd-slinger.livejournal.com]

It is too, but I can't tell you why till you're older.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

That doesn't even make sense.

[2nd-slinger.livejournal.com]

A lot of things don't until you're older.

Girls, for example.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

I understand girls.

[2nd-slinger.livejournal.com]

Famous last words, kid.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

... You are so strange.

[2nd-slinger.livejournal.com]

It's a gift.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

To who?

[2nd-slinger.livejournal.com]

People who enjoy seein' my pain, mostly.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

What a strange gift.

[2nd-slinger.livejournal.com]

The shame of it is that it didn't come with a gift receipt.
