I don't know where I am or where I've been, but so long as I'm somewhere I've been, I'll soon be there again. I do hope that I won't miss the unbirthday party, although I also wonder how or when I might end up getting there (should I end up getting there), wherever there might be.

Oh, now, what was that? You don't like what? Tea?! You don't like tea? No! No, this is completely unacceptable, it's as acceptable as an un can be! I don't know how you expect me to stay here without the promise of any tea, it just can't be done. Having an unbirthday party without any tea? None at all? It just doesn't work, it's entirely impassible!

I don't know how you expect a hatter such as myself to stay when there's nothing worth staying for! Why, you're asking too much and you're not asking anything much at all! This entire situation is almost as mad as I am!

[notoflegend]

Well, I think I can agree on the "mad" part.

[milliners]

Well, yes, most people can!

[notoflegend]

Though maybe not about the tea.

[milliners]

You don't like tea either? What is this place?

[notoflegend]

Tea is alright, I guess. I just prefer coffee.

[milliners]

Coffee! Coffee! Why would anyone like coffee over tea?

[notoflegend]

I just do. People are allowed to have different tastes, you know.

[milliners]

Oh, yes, of course they are. Unfortunately, their tastes are categorically wrong, but that's no skin of my nose!

_{[ He'd giggle here, but nope. YOUR TASTES ARE WRONG, ALICE. ]}

[notoflegend]

[She rolls her eyes.]

If that's the case then I think I'll live being "wrong" for once.

[milliners]

Well, besides being wrong, are you anything else?

[notoflegend]

A great many things, I'd say.

[milliners]

And what would anyone else say? It's not all about what you'd say, after all.

[notoflegend]

I really can't speak for anyone else. You'd have to ask them.

[comeonthensexy]

They don't like tea? Those people exist?

[milliners]

What if I asked you and pretended I was asking them? That fixes everyone's problems!

[milliners]

Not only do they exist, but there's one here, in our midst. I can't believe my mun hates tea. It's a disgrace and it's a travesty! I mean, really. My mun, hating tea. You couldn't find a more mismatched couple of people if you tried, and you'd be trying for a long time indeed!

[notoflegend]

Then you'd have pretend answers. Not real ones.

[milliners]

I wouldn't say that they're pretend just because they're not from the people themselves. They're still answers, are they not?

[notoflegend]

I guess. It's kind of a broad topic to answer, though.

[comeonthensexy]

That is awful, I am so sorry. I can't believe it.

[madcuriosity]

Your writer doesn't like tea? [Alice grins. Ha, take that!] I would let you have some tea with me and my writer, but I'm not sure I should, going about mad people and all.

Nothing is as mad as you are, Mr. Hatter, except perhaps Cheshire Puss but I do wonder at that even. At least he knows things rather than just sitting all day drinking tea.

[causeiwearahat]

Can you miss it, if it's an unbirthday party?

[This sounds like one of those thoroughly kid-like notions picked up from a thoroughly childish story...]

[But we're all mad as Hatters here, so he'll go along with it.]

[milliners]

_{[ IT IS, so Hatter is going to just... move on apropos of nothing. ]}

... Do you like riddles?

[milliners]

It is exactically as unbelievable as anything can be, yes. Why, I'm the Mad Hatter! I can't possibly do without tea.

[milliners]

She doesn't like any hot drinks! _{[ wow um excuse u alice. have a very unimpressed face for your trouble. ]} You're among mad people wherever you go, Alice! We're practically voices in someone else's head, haven't you realised that yet?

I've never been more insulted in my life! Sitting around, drinking tea is perhaps the best thing anyone could do with their time, as it's always time for tea and it's perhaps always the best time to drink!
