Open RP: if I keep walking long enough, will I go in a circle?

[those_damn_bats]

I've surrendered one of my shoes to that hat for breeding purposes. A thin sock is now all that protects my delicate left foot from the harsh reality of castle floors and underpaid, invisible cleaning staff

Gustav had been on enough benders to summon up a good bit of sympathy at the sight. He lifted a hand and called, "Going anywhere particular? Hey, you're short a shoe." This last in case he hadn't noticed.

[those_damn_bats]

"To my true love's abode," I inform him, continueing to move along, purposefully.

"And I am aware. Bribery is a sad but..." but what's the word? Starts with an 'n.' "...but."

[margrat]

"Huh." He fell into step - or at least a stabler semblance thereof. "Someone else missing one of theirs, wanted a pair again?"

[those_damn_bats]

"Someone else's true love."

It's going around, apparently.

"A hat's. I'm not crazy, there was really a talking hat."

The paintings are talking to him, and their yelling was giving Konata a headache.

"Stop yelling!" she yelled at the paintings.

[those_damn_bats]

"You can hear them too?" I ask, a little bit hopefully.

[otakukonata]

"Well, yeah, they're talking paintings. Looks cool at first, then gets annoying, especially if the one you need to talk to to get into your house is in some other painting."

[those_damn_bats]

"My house is in Hollywood," I complain, not quite managing to connect 'house' with 'large roomful of people who sleep near me.'

Lester stopped walking after the man and observed with a smile. He saw the way the man limped and dealt (failed would have been more appropriate) with walking without proper balance.

Lester tucked his laugh behind a concerned grin and approached.

"Hey buddy, I think you need a shoe."

[those_damn_bats]

"It was for a noble cause," I explain, "sort of. I expect to be named godfather to the offspring."

[seeing_roses]

Lester chuckled with a quick laugh. He could tell the man was somewhat strange.

"What was the noble cause, exactly? Because you're looking like you're drunk or high trying to walk down the hall, it better have been a good cause," Lester said with a friendly smile.

[those_damn_bats]

"Well, that too," I admit, cheerfully,

"But for bribery. The completely validated articulate headgear."

Hey, it was That Guy! Who was, yeah, kinda crazy. But entertaining, at least. "Hi, how's..." Duke seemed the kinda guy you said 'How's tricks?' to. Maybe that would be a bad idea, though, since Nate had no idea what that actually meant. "...it going?"

[those_damn_bats]

"Slowly." My progress is hampered by my lopsidedness, and the fact that the floor is melting.

[bad_date_nate]

Nate looked downwards and asked with curiosity, "What happened to your shoe?" Nate wondered if he had to take on a gang of slipper-wranglers who were hassling Duke. That was Nate, Mister Fix-It for your W T F. Well, he liked to try, at least. He tried to try.

...

...he called Chuck and/or Blair.

[those_damn_bats]

"The hat needed it."

I'm sick of explaining this.

"I'm in Ravenclaw."

Toki stares. And stares some more. "You ain't gots no shoe." He's used to two shoes. He's used to no shoes. One shoe, though? There's got to be some kind of story behind it.

[those_damn_bats]

"Why is everyone here so hung up over minor details?" I've arrived in some kind of castle of symmetry requiring obsessive compulsives.

[secondfastest]

Toki looks confused. "What? You only gots one shoe, what's weird about pointings that out?"

[those_damn_bats]

"What about the poor? They have no shoes." I'm fairly sure this is a salient point.
