I don't like hurting them, truly I don't, but it's been necessary. I've never seen sheep behave in such a way before.

I do hope that it stops soon, or at the very least, sooner than later.

[Then there is a pause as if she might say something else...but no...never mind.]

Hatter...have you...

Man.

This sheep thing stinks.

[the_alice]

Literally and figuratively.

[playstheblues]

You'd think that the deities would just get rid of the sheep. That we would not be needed.

[the_alice]

It's some sort of fun for them, I suppose. Or it was.

[agoodchild]

No, no! Don't hurt them, don't hurt them, uuu!

[the_alice]

I'm avoiding it when I can, but that is the best I can do.

[agoodchild]

Maria knows it's scary, uuu, but they will take us to the Golden Land. Don't hurt them, don't hurt them.

[the_alice]

[ her voice is absolutely puzzled, but also curious... ]

...'the Golden Land'?

[mustbemad]

And neither have I, though I've seen lots of things.

[the_alice]

What sorts of things?

[mustbemad]

Now, what sort of question is that? There's so many, where would I start?

[the_alice]

Well, it was a question sort of question, but if there are so many, surely you can name one of them for me.

One that sticks out to you, perhaps---more than the others.

[reginagloriae]

They are acting like wild youma.

[the_alice]

Wild what?

[reginagloriae]

Youma are "demons" or "monsters."

[the_alice]

[ pause ]

Oh, I see. I suppose they do seem like creatures possessed.

[mad_here]

Aren't you too proper an Alice for this kind of thing?

[the_alice]

Who's to say what is 'proper'---and here of all places?
