Tea Party with Captive Listener

[takeme2urpants]

[You find yourself sitting at a lovely table with all the trimmings, this unusually warm October evening. Above the table is a sign:]

UNLOAD YOUR PROBLEMS ON THIS DUDE

[The arrow points down to ZEX. He sighs, and pours you tea.]

I suppose you might as well. I have no other plans for the evening.

Evening. ♣

[ofhisword]

Good evening.

[fruitophile]

You have an interesting crowd that visits you. ♣ How popular. ♠

[ofhisword]

[glances around, and then shrugs his shoulders a bit.]

I suppose I do, don't I?

[fruitophile]

Even talking to invisible things. ♠

[ofhisword]

From the perspective of some, yes.

[fruitophile]

You can see things others can't. ♠

[ofhisword]

I suppose I can.

[fruitophile]

Interesting. ♥ Like... spirits? ♦

[ofhisword]

Something like that.

[fruitophile]

Or, you could just be hallucinating. ♣

[ofhisword]

I doubt that.

[fruitophile]

You might not even know it. ♦

[ofhisword]

I'm quite certain of my state of mind. And you are?
