Gather 'round my friends. Gather 'round and look at the time. It appears we've waited a smidgen too long, I fear. Our bellies grumble, and we need our tea.

Won't you join me?

[Stare.]

Are you who I think you are?

[path_o_genesis]

Oh? Who may that be, if I may be so bold?

[usskickass]

The...white rabbit. From the story.

[path_o_genesis]

Nice guess.

[usskickass]

Haven't seen you around yet. Where've you been?

[...]

Were you late?

[path_o_genesis]

Ah ha! You are quite sharp, lovely lady. I was, indeed, late. But not too late.

[usskickass]

Well.

[God, this is always so weird.]

Whatcha late for this time?

[path_o_genesis]

Could you tell me? I haven't the faintest idea.

[usskickass]

...Then how do you know you're late?

[path_o_genesis]

Hm, hm. Perhaps I feel it in my bones... Somewhere deep deep inside. A hunger for the proper time, the proper place.

And perhaps I've missed it. Snoozed a bit too long, probably.

[usskickass]

You were sleeping?

[This is a...scary rabbit.]

[path_o_genesis]

Yes. All living beings require some rest, you know!

[usskickass]

Well, I guess I just figure if you had someplace you needed to be...

[Eyeroll. She doesn't know why she expected this to be a normal conversation, exactly.]

[path_o_genesis]

Here is where I need to be. Here and now, I hope.

Would you join me for some tea?

[usskickass]

Can I do coffee instead?
