♛ 11th Curious Thought [Video]

[madcuriosity]

[With the fighting giants just outside the city, the school burning down, the funeral showing the sheer number of those lost. She is holding the vorpal sword she created not so long ago in her lap.]

His majesty, King Arthur, was teaching me how to use the vorpal sword to protect myself. But now that he's gone, I'm without a good teacher.

Would someone please be so kind to teach me how to use a sword?

Can you even lift a sword?

[He's barely big enough to lift a sword himself, even though he's tall for his age, but that's lost on him.]

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

Of course, I wouldn't be asking if I couldn't even lift one. Maybe not something BIG, but the vorpal sword I can handle fine.

[Video]

[bratking]

What is the vorpal sword? Something special?

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

Something I made. And yes. It's the sword that slays the jabberwocky.

[Video]

[bratking]

What on earth is a jabberwocky? That sounds like something made-up.

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

[She rolls her eyes. She's not even sure if it is made up or not. The fact that the Hatter and the talking flowers are here?]

The Jabberwocky is a very dangerous beast.

[Video]

[bratking]

I've heard of dragons, but never a Jabberwocky.

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

Well I'm telling you about the Jabberwocky. He's long claws that catch and a jaw that bites. He flies on two great leathery wings through the Tulgey wood.

[bratking]

So it is like a dragon, then? If it's the size of a dragon, I doubt one sword will do much. I'm sure it will enjoy its snack, if you insist on trying.

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

Like, not is. And it's already dead. Slain, in fact. So I won't be made a snack any time soon, I'll have you know.

[Video]

[bratking]

Did you slay it?

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

Er.... [Well, according to the Hatter, she's supposed to.] I'm supposed to, I think.

[Video]

[bratking]

You can't if it's already dead.

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

In the Looking Glass, time is quite different, so is life and death. It's forwards and backwards thinking.

[Video]

[bratking]

...That doesn't make any sense.

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

It does if you ask what it is instead of guessing at the nature of it.

[Video]

[bratking]

It sounds silly to me.

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

Everything sounds silly to you, that's not saying much.

[Video]

[bratking]

Then maybe everything should try to be less ridiculous.

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

Or maybe you should open yourself up to more nonsense. I assure you, it's much more fun.

[Video]

[bratking]

A king doesn't have time for anything as foolish as fun.

[Which is probably why he literally never had any friends.]

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

I beg to differ. If you don't know how to have fun, how can you ensure that for your people have it and help with their happiness?

[Video]

[bratking]

I don't care if my people have fun. My responsibility is to keep the kingdom functioning and safe from invaders, not to make sure no one is bored.

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

And once they're safe from invaders? You act like your kingdom is being attacked every second of every day.

[Video]

[bratking]

Someone's always plotting against the king. There will always be jealous fools that think they could do better.
