* Tuko wanders in. He is a tall lad, about 16, wearing only a pair of brown trousers, a slim dagger at his side. Plain enough... no... he also has a pair of foxish coppery-red, black-tipped ears atop his head, and a foxish coppery-red, black-tipped tail poking via tail hole. Not to mention his entire body is furry, like a fox. Coppry brown pelt with a white chest. Light violet eyes peer about, a small smile upon his face <The_Chesire_Cat> A brief chuckle is heard . . where . .could he be here...or there..or..well..even over this way... * Tuko yawns and looks about, ears swivelling slightly <Tuko> .... <The_Chesire_Cat> And then a soft sing song chiding voice is heard. <q> "Twas brillig..and the slithy toves..Did gyre and gimble in the wabe..and mimsy were the borogoves..and the momeraths . .out...grabe.." hauntingly echos so..edged with a somewhat eccentric humour..the recipiant can practically feel the voice's owner grinning * Tuko blinks, looks behind him, then to the sides, ears swiveling more <The_Chesire_Cat> Soft chuckles... brief flutter... and suddenly the loud raucous sound of an accordion is heard... then the clearing of the throat. "Ahem... second chorus..." * Tuko scowls <Tuko> "Who said that!?" <The_Chesire_Cat> Seems oblivous to the young man's fustration, more chittering excited chuckles. <q> "Beware the jabberwock my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the jubjub bird, and shun the frumious bandersnatch!" * Tuko mutters and tail-swishes, then heads further inside <The_Chesire_Cat> Soft footfalls are heard... from a rafter... then upon a shelf... and wait... over at the hearth... hang on... dang that was a mouse... that eccentric voice rises once more <q> "He took his vorpal sword in hand. Long time the manxome foe he sought. So rested he by the tumtum tree. And stood awhile in thought." * Tuko glances up, perks an ear <The_Chesire_Cat> Brief pause... soft rustle... and the air is disturbed indeed it is so icy it brings chills and hair stand up on end... then it settles as if nothing happened... <q> "And, as in uffish thought he stood. The jabberwock with eyes of flame came whiffling through the tulgey wood and burbled as it came!" * Tuko shivers and mutters <Tuko> <m> "Ignito!" * Tuko has a small puff of flame surround him, then looks warmer <The_Chesire_Cat> Once more that disturbingly melodic and haunting sing song voice rings like a bell... so clear... you'd swear it is near you... beside you... or even behind you... <q> "One, two! One Two! And through and through the vorpal blade went -snicker-snack-! He left it dead, and with its head he went galumphing back..." * Tuko frowns <Tuko> "Illumino!" A ball of white light, nothing more, appears in hand... he holds it in the air to illumine the shadowed corners of the rafters <The_Chesire_Cat> And much to the youth's dismay, there is nothing of a physical descript to quench his curiousity..a soft chuckle above his head..and then a snicker behind him far away <q> "And hast thou slain the jabberwock? Come to my arms my beamish boy! O frabious day! callooh callay! He chortled in his joy." * Tuko mutters and the ball disappears. He takes a seat and flattens his ears against his head <The_Chesire_Cat> Then a brief disturbance... as if someone has settled just ahead and above Tuko... he would have to tilt his chin to regard just what is up there... seen in the shadows, literally there is a large set of smiling teeth... grinning broadly you would swear the owner's face would shatter... <q> "Twas brillig, and the slithy toves, did gyre and gimble in the wabe..all mimsy were the borogroves..and the mome raths outgrabe." * Tuko blinks and swats at the smile "Begone ye beast... no time have I for your musings and joke..." <The_Chesire_Cat> He can not swat at the smile, it is a good... twelve to thirteen metres above his head... however with or without measurements well out of reach... soft chuckle, the same haunting melodic as before... the smile only dances in arcs <q> "Beast..we dunnae joke..for we are serious here...yes indeed!" * Tuko scowls <Tuko> "What do you want, whateveryouare?" <The_Chesire_Cat> <q> "What we want... we search... and gather the fruits from the tree of knowledge... Boy of Apples... and it appears I am in as much in the dark as ye..." soon as the voice says this... two large gold eyes with red pupils appear and blink slowly * Tuko hrmphs and flattens his ears <The_Chesire_Cat> <q> "A nonbeliever... the Boy of Apples doubts... how disheartening." is all that voice says... and a soft chuckle reins once more <Tuko> "Believer in what?!" <The_Chesire_Cat> <q> "Confused and blinded are well... the naked leads the blind... you say black and I say white..." sing song verses like a child's nursery rythme... now violet ribbons twirl and wrap around the transparent apprent form * The_Chesire_Cat in another words, those ribbons arent getting Tuko * Tuko flattens his ears further and shifts to that of a copperty-red fox with black socks and ear/tail tips <The_Chesire_Cat> <q> "Identity... yearning for identity... many a disguise and mask." now clearly there is a feline... purple body with lilac stripes. Wayward fur upon the top of its head... large yellow eyes with red pupils illustrating eccentricity or derangement... that mouth still curls into a large manic grin * Tuko whines and covers his ears with paws and tail <Tuko> <f> "Shutup!" * Horns enters the inn again, looking about <The_Chesire_Cat> The now revealed voice just waggles his brows. <q> "Twas brillig, and the slithy toves, did gyre and gimble in the wabe... all mimsy were the borogroves... and the mome raths outgrabe." he chuckles and his eyes narrow into manic slits... and continues to grin so broadly... its simply either amusing or very scary and overbearing * Tuko is a fox. Coppery-red pelt with black socks, and black-tipped ears and tail <The_Chesire_Cat> And that screechy accordion plays once more * Tuko gets up and barks... then races towards the exit, scurrying behind Horns <Horns> "What the...?" He looks around, raising an eyeridge <The_Chesire_Cat> Soft chuckle... and only seeing those big pearly white teeth... part into a broad manic and somewhat deranged smile... it dances to and fro upon a rafter several feet above and in front of Horns... violet ribbons that were the violet animals stripes unwind and slowly starts to disolve <The_Chesire_Cat> And soft music... the accordion fades too... then that bizarre grin starts to fade... almost like some freaky daydream... * Tuko then races out <The_Chesire_Cat> Meanwhile the mun has a little giggle
