02 - Hatter's Lost His Voice. (Action, if you like.)

[passthetophat]

He was furious. He really was, stomping around in circles outside of his house. Kicking up dirt, punching the wall, and strangely, clutching his hat. He was aware that the returning of his hat had something to do with the losing of his voice, but he hadn't been in town long enough to suspect the postman, of all people

[And not!wife is concerned when she see's him circling outside the house while looking pissed off.]

H-Hatter? What's wrong? [Although she has an inkling of an idea on what happened...]

[passthetophat]

He rounds on her, motioning angrily toward the direction the post office was in, and spouting out words that were better off left silent. He made a frustrated gesture, then one as though he were choking someone, and then some sort of representation of the Chinese alphabet.

[April watches him as he does this, giving him a look that says "wtf?" But she understands what he's trying to say.] You went to the post office and got your hat back [Points to the hat he's clutching.] and they took your voice as the fee. Right?

[passthetophat]

He nods, mouth slightly open and eyebrows pulled back in sort of a devastated look. He didn't know they were going to take something from him, but... if he wanted to talk again, he'd have to give up his hat, which he stares at now in longing.

[The paperboy is giving you a funny look.]

Ah... you alright, sir?

[passthetophat]

No, I am certainly not alright. At least, that's what he was mouthing, and it was dictated by some very uncooth flailing.

[perfektsymmetry]

[He looks a little confused, but concerned.] You...can't talk, then? Did... did Mayfield do something to you?

[passthetophat]

He nods, his eyes narrowed in anger, and shakes his fist in the general direction of the post office.

[HE WOULD'VE FOUND THIS SO FUCKING HILARIOUS LIKE A FEW MONTHS AGO but Vince knows how much it sucks to lose the ability to communicate.]

Y'alright, mate?

[passthetophat]

A very violent shaking of the head to indicate negativity. And then a middle finger. Not at Vince, but in the direction of the post office.

[numanstan]

... Yeah, that's definitely a problem. Hope whatever y'got was worth it, mate.

[passthetophat]

He gives a frustrated, torn look. He can't really decide if it is or not, but he holds up... his hat.

[Guess who finds this very,very amusing?]

You seem to be malfunctiong.

[passthetophat]

There's little he can do but give that '...you bitch' look, and mouth, very slowly and clearly, some obscenities at her.

[getssciencedone]

[That just makes her grin.]

I'm sorry I, cannot hear you.

Did you lose your voice?

[passthetophat]

His eyes narrow and he glares at her. He says two very rude words just then, and offers the finger gesture to match it.

[watching the strange man quietly]

[passthetophat]

He feels himself being stared at and whips around, very much stopping the moving and wild gesturing. He gives a very fake half smile, but his eyes are like a crazy person.
