[nakesnakecobracobra]

[ Video ]

Now wasn’t that a nice vacation? [ An alarmingly large viper winds its head happily up Medusa’s arm as she speaks. It missed her while she was gone. She rests her chin on the other hand. ]

What a delightful world we crashed into. Did you all have fun? I know I did. I don’t suppose anybody got a chance to try the food? [ Of course being the queen, Medusa only had properly prepared food that neither shrank you nor made you grow. But she does wonder if anyone took any back with them. ]

I do hope nobody is too angry at the two meddlers who caused this one. Let’s not lose our heads now, shall we? [ She grins widely and shuts off the feed. ]

Ha ha.

[SO BITTER RIGHT NOW. Arthur hated that port.]

[nakesnakecobracobra]

You don't sound very amused. [ She does so love rubbing things in people's faces. ] Is the whole neck a new feature on you?

[paradoxlol]

Just how much of yourself were you in that world?

[nakesnakecobracobra]

Enough to enjoy it. [ Not really much at all. But whatever. ]

[darknessb4me]

Sometimes we get a good one.

[nakesnakecobracobra]

With the people around here it's a surprise we don't have more fun.

[espanola]

I only saw its effects. I should have taken a sample.

[ cheerful half-nod of acknowledgment, hey I dropped your not-husband down a well right? ]

[nakesnakecobracobra]

[ Yeah you did, good times man, good times. ]

A pity. But I doubt the Cheshire cat had much need to shrink or grow.

[espanola]

He seemed confident enough of himself at standard size. Others might have benefited, though.

[nakesnakecobracobra]

He wouldn't have been nearly as much fun at a reduced size.

[espanola]

Oh, of course not. Although you didn't seem to enjoy him at the time.

[Red... still has doggy ears, though they're a little smaller. Her eyes are yellow, too. She stares at Medusa a moment - or perhaps her altered eyes just make it look that way.]

I wasn't sure you'd remember.

[nakesnakecobracobra]

[ Medusa just grins. ]

Oh, I remember everything.

[canfindrope]

Don't you ever feel sorry for anything? [She's getting a little angry, Medusa.]

[nakesnakecobracobra]

[ She can tell, and she loves it. ]

Why should I? You shouldn't linger so much on the past, Red.

[canfindrope]

But you hurt people.

[nakesnakecobracobra]

Pain is a part of life.

[canfindrope]

That doesn't mean you can get away with it.

[nakesnakecobracobra]

"Get away with it"? Dear, you make me sound like some cartoon villain.

[ Which is ironic. ]

[canfindrope]

It isn't a joke.

[nakesnakecobracobra]

Isn't it, though? Life is chaos. Applying meaning to it is a practice in futility, little more than a comedy of errors. Not that I would expect you to know anything about that, with your upbringing.

[canfindrope]

There is meaning in life. I'm just sorry you can't see it.

[nakesnakecobracobra]

What you're talking about, my dear, is faith. And faith will disappoint you, if you live long enough to let it. I doubt that you will.

[canfindrope]

I have faith in my friends.

[nakesnakecobracobra]

I fail to see your point.

[canfindrope]

Why are you like this?

[nakesnakecobracobra]

Isn't it your job to figure that out?

[canfindrope]

Not without help.

[nakesnakecobracobra]

Then I suggest you get help. You clearly aren't doing well on your own.

[canfindrope]

I meant yours.

[nakesnakecobracobra]

I know what you meant. I'm refusing.
