[And if you look to your screen you will see a disgruntled Mr. H, wet from head to toe with hair flopping over his face. He pushes it to the side, peering over his sunglasses. You can tell he's scowling at the screen, he checks the commands on it before he jabs a few buttons, the screen flickers on and off and then back on where hey, look he's

Let me ask some questions too!

Where aren't you and-or where are you supposed to be?

Have you seen Alice?

But I guess you wanted an answer too, huh? I'll give it a shot.

For three! You can get some coffee at a coffee shop, if I had to guess.

[video foreveerrrrr]

[mrhanekoma]

[Raising an eyebrow at you now but he takes this was ease.]

How am I supposed to know where I'm not supposed to be? I just arrived here. I am supposed to be in Shibuya though. Yet I'm not sure a stray like you would know where that is.

Alice? Don't know anyone by the name of that.

Brilliant! Coffee shops have coffee, I would have never guessed. [The sarcasm is dripping off his words, kitty cat.]

[video foreveerrrrr]

[untaught]

Can't say it rings a bell. Though I never expressed an interest in going there. Here is foreign to me too, which makes it interesting.

And Joshua isn't a name I'm familiar with either. Seems like we're both unhelpful.

That's too bad, your logic could use some fixing, then. [Oh, he knows it's sarcasm. But he'd never be deterred by it.]

[mrhanekoma]

Of course, of course. Foreign places hold the charm of the unknown, and the unknown is always interesting, always new.

Seems like it. Bummer.

Doesn't everyone's logic need tuning up once in a while? Maybe you should get yours checked in too.

[untaught]

Exactly that. Though I gotta ask, how often have you found yourself in these new and intereting places?

Here's to being mutually unhelpful.

Nah, once you get in the riddle business, logic's of no help.

[mrhanekoma]

Not very often, unfortunately. Maybe this is a turn for the better.

Cheers. [Smug smile, get!]

That could be quite a tricky business. Hope you don't get lost.

[untaught]

That's one way to look at it. Or maybe it's a turn left as opposed to right.

I'd down some milk if I had some. Let's make it an IOU.

Getting lost is half the fun, it's just a matter of getting the other person even deeper in the maze.

[mrhanekoma]

But what if you walk into a tree?

[Grin] Gonna keep you to that, kitty.

True! Very true! What if you can't get out again?

[untaught]

Then you should've turned right.

You can't keep me to anything if you call me 'kitty'.

Then you are succesful in your riddle. Gotta make 'em memorable.

[mrhanekoma]

What if right was closed off? You could only turn left?

Fine fine, what should I call you then?

Wise words, Pinky.

[untaught]

Then it's either getting caught in one place or taking that three head-on.

Boris would be great. Cheshire Cat is another option.

Wish I could say the same to you, coffee man.

[mrhanekoma]

And if you had a chainsaw?

Cheshire Cat? Like Alice In Wonderland? You're not what I've imagined.

Coffee man? Hm, I'll have to think about that, Pinky.

[untaught]

That's cheating. At least make it an axe for a bit of a challenge.

So my reputation precedes me. Always knew that title would come in handy. But you're not what I'd have expected either, not that I expected anything at all.

Keep calling me Pinky and I may have to come up with something else, though I do like the ring of 'coffee man'.

[mrhanekoma]

Why not go the whole nine yards and make it a knife? Chop chop chop at the tree, y'know?

That's disappointing. Though I don't really wave my status around.

What about Feathers? Though you're not a bird and if someone is a bird, this might get confusing. [He is of course, referring to the boa, Mr. Boris.]

[untaught]

And spend the rest of their life bitter over choosing to turn left? I like it.

Gee, you've got a status to wave?

But what if I lend my feathers to someone else? Does the nickname pass on too?

[mrhanekoma]

Thought you might.

Of course I do! I'm alive and human, that is a status right there!

Hm, if a twig is taken from a nest, is that nest still a nest, is that twig still a twig?
