This had to be my greatest fear
Not only have I turned up here
But now I've lost my only dear
Now how will I be naughty?

Ah, my hair trimmer...  Not that it matters that it's gone, no one seems to be around to use it on.

This could get quite boring.

Hello my new friend
I'm sure this is not the end

Surely around here you can find
A new trimmer so divine

By the way my name's Giselle
I enjoy this rhyming game if you couldn't tell.

[littleoffthetop]

Hello to you, Fred is my name.
I'm glad you too enjoy this game.

I was beginning to think I was all alone. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[x_rette_mich_x]

Oh...so you're new then?

Er...welcome...~

[littleoffthetop]

Thank you, that's very kind.

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Fred.

[x_rette_mich_x]

It's nice to meet you, Fred!

My name's Aaron~

[littleoffthetop]

It is splendid to meet you as well, Aaron.

Tell me, have you always lived in this strange city?

[dark_adonis_plz]

Hm... I suppose it couldn't hurt to join in with the rhyming as well...

Good sir, you aren't quite where you were
Although you've seen this for yourself, I'm sure
This city carries quite a lure
For travelers as ourselves

And as you roam the streets take heed
There are creatures that seek to make you bleed
And so we have found the need
To take shelter where we can

[littleoffthetop]

I didn't expect anyone to even answer, and the replies greatly exceeded my expectations. I'm afraid no one has ever replied in rhyme before. It's very sad.

Creatures? They don't happen to have...fur, do they?

Where might I find shelter here?

[dark_adonis_plz]

Ah, sad indeed! It is such a creative and entertaining way to go about things and such a shame that no one would join in!

I never looked that closely myself. I was a bit... preoccupied.

Anywhere, really. The city is mostly abandoned.

[littleoffthetop]

It's what kept me occupied in my padded cell for so long. It's a shame others simply assume I'm insane when I do it.

I've never seen a town of such size. Is it all safe? It looks as if it's had better days.

[crazylikefawkes]

Good sir, as it is I welcome you;
Sad as they are, the words above are true;
Exercise all caution---I hope you do!
And I hope that we might meet.

[littleoffthetop]

Thank you sir, I too hope we may meet. It'd be a pleasure to meet anyone in this city, really.

[crazylikefawkes]

There are most often people milling about the Rai Rai Ken, if you can find it---it's more or less a social center, and fresh food is available.

If I don't meet you on the street, you're certainly welcome to stop in for tea at the New Museum---it's large, white, and boxlike, southwest. Going north isn't a very good idea; there's more malicious wildlife.

[littleoffthetop]

I'm afraid I don't know my way around this place, I've never seen anything like it before. If I do find the areas you speak of, I'd be happy to meet you for tea.

My name is Fred, by the way. I don't believe I know yours.

[walkonmyhands]

You're telling me about boring. There's nothing to do in this city.

[littleoffthetop]

But now I have found that there are people here. That means there is something to do.
