Video: On lost muchness & hats

[terriblycrowded]

[Shortly after his arrival, and orentation of sorts, Tarrant will quite simply get started the best way he knows how. The feed begins with the hatter standing in some odd place, and alley off somewhere looking around.]

Oh my, I knew that losing your muchness meant that you were muchier. But to go completely gray is quite mad. I should think that one would want to look their best even without their muchness. Though with such dull colors I should very much like to hat them with something more colorful.

And I should much like to have a hand at my trade again. I'll need my things should I be expected to hat so many people though. Tools, a pincushion, a measuring tape, thimbles of course, thread and needle, needle and thread, cloth, pins, cloth pins, scissors, mannequins, a tolliker, curling shakles, a hat guage and lettering machine of course. We'll need to hurry though, you see I simply mustn't keep Alice waiting very long. She's terribly busy you know know that the frabjous day is finally upon us.

Well, then, Shall it be a bonnet or a boater? Or something for the boduoir? Cloche, dunce hat, death cap, coif, snood, barboosh, pugree, yarmulke, cockle-hat, porkpie, tam-o'-shanter, billycock, bicorn, tricorn, bandeau, bongrace, fan-tail, nightcap, garibaldi, fez...

A hatter makes hats. How is that insane? No, you're just crazy, you know that? [She rubbed her forehead.] And what does a queen have to do with that?

Audio

[terriblycrowded]

Well you see I was the official hatter to the white queen, the Hightopp clan had always been thought well of in court. Though I should think that I'll have to hat quite a lot of other people here seeing as how she's not here and I am.

[kage_senbon]

Yoou mean to tell me that you literally are a hat maker, but at the same time you're insane? [So much line-face.]

Audio

[terriblycrowded]

Precisely. I've completely lost my head.

Audio

[kage_senbon]

Not literally. It's still firmly attached to your shoulders, as far as I can tell.

Audio

[terriblycrowded]

[Have a slightly unhinged laugh.] Ah yes well, it wouldn't be if the red queen were here.

Re: Audio

[kage_senbon]

Cute. Alright, so why are you insane? This, I have to know. There's crazy and then there's crazy.

Audio

[terriblycrowded]

Crazy and then crazy? You're talking like a madman.

Re: Audio

[kage_senbon]

Yeah, maybe I am. But it's not that hard. There's different scales of insane, buddy.

Audio

[terriblycrowded]

Ah I see, so you're absolutely bonkers. Gone round the bin. Half-mad.

Re: Audio

[kage_senbon]

Hey! This is about you being crazy, not me being crazy, you hat-obsessed freak!

Audio

[terriblycrowded]

Ah but you said we're all mad here.

Re: Audio

[kage_senbon]

I did? I thought you said that?!? You're confusing me on purpose!

Audio

[terriblycrowded]

Did I? [Enjoy a nonsensical laugh in response.]

Re: Audio

[kage_senbon]

...

Is every conversation with you like this?

Audio

[terriblycrowded]

I haven't the foggiest. You'd have to ask Alice or the hare.

Re: Audio

[kage_senbon]

The ... hare.

Now you're just messing with me.

Audio

[terriblycrowded]

No we have tea all the time.

Re: Audio

[kage_senbon]

You have tea with a bunny. Does he actually drink the tea?

Audio

[terriblycrowded]

No, no, no I have tea with the Hare. The Rabbit doesn't join us anymore since the time he broke his watch and we tried to fix it.

[There's a muttered curse word and the feed cuts. She's pretty convinced he's fucking with her and she's done with it. Sorry, Tarrant, she's kind of a punk.]
