[Hatter is sitting on a bench in Xanadu holding one of the golden eggs that seem to be the thing of the day.]


They really aren't all that hard to acquire if one has the proper...talent. Although, it really is rather useless as far as this One is concerned. [There's a rather disappointed sigh.] What this One wants can not be acquired by wishes or trades.

Comments

[valentineluke]

Agreed. Hence why I didn't even give them a chance to lay.

[indecent_butterfly]

But is that not what they are for? The laying of eggs, feathers for a pillow...roasting One does suppose as well.

[valentineluke]

Other ones, yes. These conjured birds, no.

[worldofourown]

They're certainly fun to chase, though.

And you can offer the eggs to Citizens in exchange for other services.

[indecent_butterfly]

Well, One did not make the attempt at any. The theft was too easy.

[indecent_butterfly]

One did not need to give chase. [Being able to slip through shadows, walls and ground does give nem an advantage there.]

But One has no desire for services. The eggs are nothing more than pretty but worthless in the end.

[worldofourown]

But there's so much in life that is ultimately pretty but worthless.

[ They should start a club. ]

[valentineluke]

In my opinion, it's a way of tricking people into deal making with the deities.

[indecent_butterfly]

[That catches nir attention. And annoyance.]

Perhaps. And yet so many would kill or die for such. How stupid.

[indecent_butterfly]

Hmm...but what do the deities get out of it? Surely they are responsible for the geese and eggs in the first place.

[worldofourown]

[Don't frown, Bel. You'll get not-wrinkles. ]

In the end, it's illusion, not fact, that keeps so many going. Take the spirit of Christmas, for one. Based on fallacy, yet it brings so many together.

[ A nasty smile. ]

Good thing I've always been partial to buffets.

[indecent_butterfly]

Christmas? [Okay Karl, you've stumped nem there.]

Gluttony does seem to be a favorite sin around here.

[valentineluke]

A good laugh at the expense of others?

[indecent_butterfly]

Or an easy first step. Make the first trade simple and you won't suspect the next?

I'll take yours then if you don't want them.

[worldofourown]

I always thought it was a terrible idea to pigeonhole gluttony as a sin. Why not make stupidity one? Or tediousness? It's They Who Are Dull who deserve to burn in Hell.

The others -- they make life interesting.

Is it allowable to have more than one? The deities usually only take an item for trade once One has been told.

[He purses his lips]

Damn. I suppose one is better than nothing...

[indecent_butterfly]

The sins were not decided by this One, but by actions of the Seven when we Fell.

[valentineluke]

Bit like potato chips or drugs.

[worldofourown]

What ever did gluttony do?

Eat off another angel's plate?

[indecent_butterfly]

Perhaps One shall give it to another who has none, after an inquiry or two.

[indecent_butterfly]

Exactly. It is the easiest way to lure them in by sampling the goods.

[majorcrotchgrab]

How thoughtful of you.

[indecent_butterfly]

Belzebub desired more than he could use. Waste is not looked upon kindly even in a land of plenty...why should one wish for more than what one has been given?
