[The video coming from the device is slightly skewed since it's been tossed aside and forgotten, but from the angle several book cases are visible.  There is music playing in the background and someone singing along although they aren't in recording range to be seen. Still partially hidden behind the book ne's reading,  the owner finally come into view eventually.  

As the song reaches it's last line, ne looks up at the device, finishes singing then smiling turns the feed off.]

(ooc:  Cursed with Carrying a Torch, but quite potentially a message/warning for someone as well... And, based on my own belief that nir voice sounds like Kathleen Turner, I suppose Hatter's singing voice is Amy Irving? Enjoy that.)

Only it were a sad French song.

You are forgiven.

One could never be. How pathetic would a sad jester be after all?

...

I have one word for you.

Pagliacci.

[ Look it up. ]

There is a difference between fiction and fact. And set to music, everything is enjoyable.

Private

[worldofourown]

Fiction is often based on facts. That opera, in any event, is.

Enjoyable for the audience. What about the actors?

Private

[indecent_butterfly]

If one is an actor in an opera, one typically knows what they are getting into.

Private

[worldofourown]

That may be true.

A pity, still, that so few understand what those actors are feeling under all that colorful make-up.

Private

[indecent_butterfly]

That is usually the point. To hide, to pretend, to be someone else.

Do not think it is true for all though. Some are just fools.

Private

[worldofourown]

But what's the point of such pretense?

They can go on being fools. It's all they know how to be.

Private

[indecent_butterfly]

What would this One know of it? One is just a fool after all.

Private

[worldofourown]

That I've never believed.

But if you say so.

[Oh but Karl, who else would love someone they don't want to love them back?]

It is One's position whether you believe or not.

Private

[worldofourown]

[ ...Karl, probably? ]

Perhaps another hat is in order.

[ Because he's decided you are sad. ]

Private

[indecent_butterfly]

[Ne will deny it, even if true. Ne can't help it, it's been forever and ne wasn't even there when he was taken.]

One would never turn down a gift.
