[10shlling6pence]

I daresay I had not been--quite expecting such a curse. [some snipping, a ruffle of fabric] It wasn't quite right--nor wrong--nor truly twixt the two at that...I could--would and have wanted to--nor thought to, or rememory unfaulty and unbroken--..even see their faces. Gone now.

You're making no sense --

[mad_here]

Which isn't unusual, but it's less sense than normal and -

[mad_here]

I'm giving you thirty seconds to breathe a little. That's it. That's all.

[10shlling6pence]

Have not, hadn't not--Brillig, and the slithy toves--

Alice--not our Alice--It's cramped--crowded in here, Alice.

[agoodchild]

Maria feels the same, uuu. School isn't very good, but making new friends was very good, uuu.

Uuu, are you all right?

[10shlling6pence]

Rightish, rebelling, rapscallion reverie, reaming wrongfully--rifting rather roguishly, resisting right--right...

[agoodchild]

Uuu... Maria doesn't think you're all right.

[10shlling6pence]

...I imagine and unimagine you may be right.

[Voice]

[a_bad_guy]

You're a little bit strange, you know that?

[Voice]

[10shlling6pence]

Do and did. Know, that is. Rather a bit than more than--or perhaps I have been more than and only imagined t'was only a bit and less.

[Voice]

[a_bad_guy]

We're all a little strange, I guess. You need somethin'?

[Voice]

[10shlling6pence]

Blockage, drainage--bleach--thinly slicing the folds of such a mind, that is what I am in needing need.

[manofgnee]

Hatter...? Are you okay?

...Not all schools are like that...and not all the people are really awful like that either...I'm sorry if it upset you, though.

Are you all right? I heard a crash-y noise...

[10shlling6pence]

Hanna--harrowing horrorful, Hatting--not Matting, matter--

--It's very loud in here.

[manofgnee]

It's okay, man, it's okay...breathe. Deep breaths, in and out, it's gonna be fine.

[10shlling6pence]

Breathing--suffocating, I remember that--thick, harsh, stabbing air.

[eiremagic]

Dunno how typical, I never went to school.

[10shlling6pence]

Nor I.

[eiremagic]

Yeh seemed pretty easy with it, yeah?

[10shlling6pence]

...I? I me, or he we--altered rememory, isn't it?
