♕ |[ 95 ]| they were delicious, so sweet

[had_not_lived]

I think I'm just glad that it's only the furniture that's edible; it's pretty harmless, though everything is kind of sticky. And fragile. I broke a leg off a chair-- not to eat it, I slipped on some icing on the floor and tried to catch myself on it. Though, since it's already broken...

Anyway. I can't believe we're past Thanksgiving already! I didn't say anything on Thursday, but well, I'm still thankful for everything I have here. I've been here for... gosh, three and a half years now, I think, and I still think it's worth it. So I'm thankful for that too.

And I'm really glad, still, to have the opportunity to do the things I want to, here. Which brings up a question for you, City:

What should our next play be?

[misterblackbird]

I really must ask, I'm afraid: are you eating the leg of your chair?

[had_not_lived]

Not yet, but I'm considering it.

[misterblackbird]

What do you think it's made from, though?

Not that I don't hope it's delicious: I do, of course. I'm just left wondering what your surroundings are made from today.

[had_not_lived]

I'm not sure, but it smells edible. Some kind of cookie, I think, because it's fairly brittle. Maybe gingerbread?

[misterblackbird]

Likely gingerbread. We seem to have a sufficiency of that here at the opera house too.

[had_not_lived]

Well, biting into the walls is probably a bad idea, but if the chair is already broken... tomorrow won't it probably just be broken pieces of wood?

[misterblackbird]

It's entirely possible that it would be, I'm afraid.

[beyourarmy]

You do plays in this place?

...nothing by Shakespeare, don't do anything by him, and we're good.

[had_not_lived]

Why no Shakespeare?

[beyourarmy]

Well, I suppose I won't be seeing the plays anyway, so if you want to go there, whatever, I guess.

[had_not_lived]

I like Shakespeare. Only the comedies, though, I won't play tragedies.

Why wouldn't you see them? I mean, we're mostly amateurs, generally, but we do put on a good show.

[beyourarmy]

Well, I never really cared for any of it before. [And the murders a while back put him off a bit.]

The comedies are okay, though, right? No death or anything?

[had_not_lived]

No death. Even when it's not Shakespeare, we've only done comedies. Well, there was a musical that had some deaths, but it was still mostly a comedy. And I didn't pick that one, either.

[othersdie]

As long as tragedies are off the table, I don't have any suggestions.

[had_not_lived]

Tragedies are always off the table.

[othersdie]

On and off the stage?

[had_not_lived]

Well, from time to time I'll read one, but that's about it.

[othersdie]

Which ones will you read? Grecian, Shakespearean...?

[had_not_lived]

I like Shakespeare. Even if I don't want to put those on, he's still brilliant. I'd like to read more modern drama, but I think some of it is too depressing.

[orangetoughguy]

"Not to eat it," yeah right.

[had_not_lived]

I really didn't! You'd be surprised, how slippery frosting on the floor can be. I think it used to be the corner of my blanket.

[orangetoughguy]

You ever think is it gonna turn back into a blanket at midnight?

[had_not_lived]

For the blanket, I kind of hope it does. That's why I'm not entirely sure about eating the chair, I'm afraid I'll get sick at midnight. Or splinters in my tongue.

[orangetoughguy]

Smart thinking, kid.

[Unlike Freddy who ate a barricade 8(]

[had_not_lived]

We'll see how long I hold out.

[That chair smells good. And he may have ingested some of the formerly-blanket icing in an unrelated and not to be spoken about fashion, anyway.]
