[After spending a good deal of the previous day and night heavily drinking, waking up to the sound of someone screaming was not what ne had expected so early in the morning.
Coming face to face with an animal instead of the suspected human should have been a sign ne'd had more to drink than ne thought in the first place. And wait...wasn't someone missing? Oh well.
That the animal spoke? Yeah, never mind this was just getting to be typical wasn't it? ]
[Hatter turns on the device so the City is offered a shot of the annoying thing.]
It's about time you woke up. You truly are worthless. There are better things to do than lay around all day unless you wish to take the Lord and Lady's place instead?
[Instead of responding to the bird, ne looks to the device.]
Still? Should One be happy it's only this day instead of both?

I didn't care. [Lies. He went hungry for the day.]

Not much of a friend if so. Or a very welcome roommate.
[Doesn't believe him, knowing well enough the tendency to lie.]
Video
He's not so much a friend as a very old acquaintance. He's not here now anyway.

Then his rabbits would be long gone as well. Perhaps you could find some at the zoo. Or there are plenty of woods nearby and One does believe there were a few in the maze.
Video
Or I could stretch out on a window sill and bask through the day. There's a lot to be said for sunlight on scales.

Chicken...
Given this should only last til Midnight, One does suppose that would work.
Video
Snakes can go for weeks without eating, and I can go even longer than that. I just like food, and a nice wriggly mouse would do a treat.
Video
Even in your preferred body?
Video
Mice in my preferred body? That's mostly just for shock value. Or isn't that what you meant?
Video
That was the question. It would have to be amusing to watch. The bystanders that is.
Video
It has to be calculated for effect, you know to strike awe in some poor backsliding occultist's heart at the right time. Nothing like disarticulating one's jaw to send a message without anything too flashy.
But I suppose that isn't really how things work where you're from. I get the impression there's more sturm und drang.
Video
One doesn't usually need to resort to such theatrics. The tricks this jester uses are more for distraction and misdirection.
That is to be expected after two wars.
[With the third and final on its way.]
Video
Usually neither do I, but I'll use what I have at hand if I need to. Mostly I can let human agents do what I need all for a bit of coin - or folding money in this era.
