[maddest]

In commemoration of my having spent a certain amount of time here- not sure how long, but some time indeed- I will now have Emily perform a dramatic reading of our latest collaborative poem.

[In an admirable display of ventriloquism, the little doll pipes up in her most irritating falsetto.]

Adstringendum, O, Adstringendum,
My inpronounceablest home!
You make people glum,
Can be a pain in the bum,
But I am pleased to call you my own.

The animus are our interesting friends,
Occasionally promising danger.
When they get bored the universe bends
But whatever that strange group sends
You know next time will be stranger!

...that's all Emily has so far. [Break continues, back in his own voice.] It needs an editing eye, but I think she shows real promise.

True. Still, if you escaped a second time, you'd know not to trust me again. You'd just have to risk it.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

The thing is, I don't have to risk it. I have other, less mad options.

And really, we're still missing the main point.

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

My options are entirely sane.

Which point?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

I meant when I said I was going to kill you.

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

Ah yes, that. Any plans on when you're going to schedule it?

Additionally, if you do succeed, will you be more open to the idea of additional tests? It's not like you'd have a grudge anymore, right?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Oh, a few obstacles have arisen, but I shouldn't worry too much if I were you. You'll see it coming.

If I do it right, you won't be coming back.

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

What sort of obstacles? I hate being left to wait too long.

And oh... that's an interesting sort of ambition.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Don't ask me to spoil the surprise, Doctor.

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

As long as it's a good one, I suppose I can be patient.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

You do that.
