First Consensus

[twixt_dee_n_dum]

It's bad form not to accept what's being given. Not polite at all. Nohow.

Contrarywise, one shouldn't take what hasn't been given. Very rude conduct, that.

If there's someone to give it, it's given. If there's no one, it ain't.

That's logic.

Huh?

[twixt-dee-n-dum.livejournal.com]

If you're going to ask a question, you ought to phrase it properly. That's good manners.

It's not good form to make us guess. Nohow.

[kch-kch.livejournal.com]

Did someone steal something from you?

[twixt-dee-n-dum.livejournal.com]

Nohow. Don't have much to steal.

Contrarywise, if we did, someone might have.

[kch-kch.livejournal.com]

Ah, well, I'm glad to hear that.

Although in that case I'm still a bit puzzled why you sent this message out.

[twixt-dee-n-dum.livejournal.com]

Education.

Contrarywise, edification.

Identification.

[kch-kch.livejournal.com]

[?] What are you identifying?

[twixt-dee-n-dum.livejournal.com]

Circumstances.

[kch-kch.livejournal.com]

Oh, of course. Circumstances.

[Knowing nod. Yep, he has not a clue. But these guys are a bit unnerving, even if they sort of remind him of himself and Tulio...]

[twixt-dee-n-dum.livejournal.com]

Circumstances can lead to bad decisions, and those are always to be avoided.

[kch-kch.livejournal.com]

No doubt. Of course, circumstances can also lead to good decisions.

[twixt-dee-n-dum.livejournal.com]

Naturally.

[kch-kch.livejournal.com]

Do either of you have names, by any chance?

[twixt-dee-n-dum.livejournal.com]

Of course we do. All things have names.

But if you're trying to ask what they are, you ought to phrase it properly.

[viral-tyrant.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm...what if one were to deny what is given? I am quite hesitant to accept this gift.

[twixt-dee-n-dum.livejournal.com]

Rude.

[takeonthestairs.livejournal.com]

[twixt-dee-n-dum.livejournal.com]

Speak properly if you're going to speak.

Contrariwise, if you won't speak properly, then don't.

[viral-tyrant.livejournal.com]

Hmph. So be it.

[takeonthestairs.livejournal.com]

[twixt-dee-n-dum.livejournal.com]

Now you are.

[kch-kch.livejournal.com]

Fine, fine. What are your names? Mine's Miguel.

[twixt-dee-n-dum.livejournal.com]

We are Tweedledee--

and Tweedledum.

[kch-kch.livejournal.com]

[...Strange names.]

Nice to meet you. Are you, ah, trapped in this place as well?

[twixt-dee-n-dum.livejournal.com]

Being trapped implies we can't do what we like.

If we couldn't, we would be. But as we can, we aren't.

[kch-kch.livejournal.com]

...I see.

So that means you can leave?

[twixt-dee-n-dum.livejournal.com]

We go out for strolls quite often.

Weather permitting, that is.

[takeonthestairs.livejournal.com]

[twixt-dee-n-dum.livejournal.com]

Manners.

They're very important you know.

Or if you don't know, we'll tell you. Manners are very important.

[takeonthestairs.livejournal.com]

[twixt-dee-n-dum.livejournal.com]

Then you won't go wrong. Nohow.

[takeonthestairs.livejournal.com]

[kch-kch.livejournal.com]

[:D]

Mind showing me the way out, then?

[twixt-dee-n-dum.livejournal.com]

You've got eyes, haven't you?

[kch-kch.livejournal.com]

[Guess who's starting to think this might be a waste of time? :|]

I didn't mean out of the mansion, amigos. I meant out of Wonderland. If you'll just point me in the right direction, I'll get right out of your hair.

[twixt-dee-n-dum.livejournal.com]

Why would you want to leave? We certainly don't, nohow.

[kch-kch.livejournal.com]

Because...

[Tulio. Chel. Altivo.

...]

It's boring. Staying in one place all the time...Eugh. I'll crawl out of my skin.

So. Care to help me out?

[twixt-dee-n-dum.livejournal.com]

We know of no way out--

Because there's no where else to go.

[kch-kch.livejournal.com]

Surely that's not the case! This isn't...this isn't it! There's so much more to see out there, I mean, I've seen it!

[twixt-dee-n-dum.livejournal.com]

Perhaps you were dreaming.

Yes, that must be it.

[kch-kch.livejournal.com]

[Stare.]

Yes, well. I'll just be...going now.

[And after a few failed attempts, he finally gets the comm turned off. :|]
