two laughs

[undespairing]

Who came up with all these songs? They're really fun! And at the rate they're going I'll have them all memorized before the day's out. I didn't think people would start celebrating so early, it's amazing!

Oh, and by the way, does anyone know where I can find a job around here? I'm still kind of new in town you see, and this thing seems like a good way to ask.

I've been learning about this place.

[undespairing]

Have you learned anything interesting? Then again everything about this place is interesting, so I guess that's a pretty vague question. I'm going to look into the Underground soon, myself - it seems kind of mysterious.

[resentive.livejournal.com]

What do you plan to do?

[undespairing]

Find out what's there, mainly. Did you know there's a circus down there?

[resentive.livejournal.com]

Is there?

[ He sounds...very...bored by that. ]

[undespairing]

Yeah, and bandits and monsters too, apparently!

[Aww don't be bored, Huey.]

[resentive.livejournal.com]

...monsters?

[undespairing]

...Well maybe not monsters, but some sort of predators, anyway.

[resentive.livejournal.com]

You're not making any sense.

[undespairing]

Haha, I guess not!

[resentive.livejournal.com]

You don't even care about that?

[undespairing]

I suppose I should. Did you want me to explain anything?

[resentive.livejournal.com]

I don't care.

[ PURPOSELY BEING A JERK TAKE THAT ]

[undespairing]

You see, I may have said 'monsters' at first, but really I'd just gotten carried away by the fact we're in a magical city full of curses. What I was really given was an ambiguous warning about predators in the underground, including robbers I think, and also there's a safe path to the circus, where they have zoo animals, shows, and games that aren't rigged.

[talking anyway take that]

[resentive.livejournal.com]

So it's nothing that strange.

[undespairing]

I guess not. I'll figure out what all the dangers are eventually.

[resentive.livejournal.com]

Are you going by yourself?

[undespairing]

Probably!

[resentive.livejournal.com]

If you live, maybe you can tell me about it.

[undespairing]

I guess I'd better live to tell you then, huh?

[resentive.livejournal.com]

I don't care that much.

[undespairing]

Right, right. Don't worry, I'll try not to get killed.

[resentive.livejournal.com]

Why would you think I was worried?

[undespairing]

Would you believe if I said I was guessing?

[resentive.livejournal.com]

I'd believe it, because it's definitely not a fact.
