*leans forward, her little elbows on the table*

Oh, there are so many children here. Wouldn't someone like to tell us a story? And all of you children, I know you're out there, wouldn't you like to hear a story? Something fantastical--!

[wonderfulboy]

You know I would, Mother! *grins*

[onlyachild]

I know, Peter. *matter-of-factly* We should all sit in a circle.

[wonderfulboy]

All right! *settles down in the air*

[its_just_max]

What kind of "fantastical" story?

[onlyachild]

Any sort! *pauses* It's better if we haven't heard it before.

[its_just_max]

I have a story you've never heard if you want.

[onlyachild]

I do want! Is it very exciting?

[smellsofflowers]

*smiles* I know a few stories.

[onlyachild]

*beams* Oh, won't you tell us some? I've read some in books, but it's so much more interesting to hear stories.

[smellsofflowers]

*Can't say no to little kids*
Of course.

[onlyachild]

*claps* Thank you! There aren't very many here to listen, but there are several. Children like stories.

[permanent_blur]

i'd like a story. suppose i count?

[onlyachild]

Why, Mr. Rosencrantz, of course you do!

[permanent_blur]

*beams and why not? glomps* i'm very glad to -- ! it's not fair if only children get to hear stories, you know.

[onlyachild]

Of course not! I would never keep you from hearing a story. And perhaps you could tell us one later? Surely you know many! Or perhaps Uncle Horatio does.

[the_elfchild]

Ohhh, might it be a story about the Devil?

[onlyachild]

It might be. I wonder if anyone knows any of those.

[the_elfchild]

*beams* I think my mother does! She can tell us all about dancing with him!

[onlyachild]

Dancing is so lovely! Is your mother here?
