01 - We're Not In Wonderland Anymore, Toto

[passthetophat]

We pan in on our hero, Hatter, in his home in 915 Bilko Boulevard. By now, he's been awake for approximately six minutes, staring at the ceiling. No, he wasn't slowly waking from a groggy sleep, comfy in his bunny slippers as he realized he wasn't in his office

[Happened to be walking down the street at this exact moment yay. Sympathises with the Hatter.] Bastard's will've buggered off with it, mate, sorry. [Nods at him.]

[passthetophat]

Hatter gives an annoyed sound, and is about a second away from stomping his feet in his tantrum.

"Bastards is right, they can have my clothes and dignity, but really, the hat?"

[thatsnotaknife]

S'like the straw that broke the camels back, for fucks sake. S'not like it's just a normal hat, either.

[passthetophat]

"Exactly! That was my hat, that was a fantastic hat! That was Hatter's hat, I-" He paused, narrowing his eyes. "Wait. How do you know about my hat?"

[thatsnotaknife]

Huh? Oh, sorry, mate, was talking about mine.

[passthetophat]

They took your hat?! Those bastards, does their indecency know no bounds?!

[thatsnotaknife]

To be honest, the kidnapping thing is probs the worst bit, the hat is just annoying. My sister'll kill me if I lose it for good.

[passthetophat]

Sorry to hear that, mate. Must be hard, bein' separated from her.

[thatsnotaknife]

Better than her being stuck 'ere too. You just arrive, mate?

[passthetophat]

Got here this mornin'. Turns out a friend of mine was here as well. Wouldn't have wished it on her, but I have to say... I'm glad she's here.

[thatsnotaknife]

S'pose it makes it easier. [Holds out his hand.] G'day, mate, name's Australia.

[passthetophat]

Like the Oyster country? Nifty. I'm Hatter. [He beams, and shakes the hand.]
