[OOC/Filter: Here's the deal. Youji intended for this post to be ladies-only, but due to a variety of factors--lack of familiarity with the device, the gender ambiguity of some names, and the weather messing with the Dreamberries--it's pretty much failed. So anyone is free to see this post (or not see it!), but if you're not a cute girl over 18, he's going to be polite, but unenthusiastic. XD]

[Youji is sitting back on his couch, looking charmingly sheepish and pleasantly cheerful.]

Hello!

I'm laid up with a broken leg, and rather bored. I don't suppose anyone could help me out...? Any recommendations are appreciated. Books, movies, snacks, art supplies, or just your sparkling conversation!

Yo-gee? Well it's very nice to meet you Mr. Yo-gee! My name is Alice, Alice Liddell!

Friends you started out with? Are you no longer friends with them?

No... no favorite. That seems terribly silly to me. Having a favorite song is like having a favorite breath of air!

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

The pleasure is all mine, Miss Alice. [He kind of wishes he was wearing his hat so he could tip it for her. She's so polite, he thinks she'd get a kick out of it.]

[...and on that note. Excellent question. Youji knew his answer, but the others were all from before that point in time... But he maintains a smile. This is not the time to trouble cute little girls.]

Oh, no. I just mean I haven't had a chance to make new friends yet. That's why I made this post.

[...yeah, Kudou. Let's go with that.]

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

Oh that's very good. It's a terribly sad thing to lose friends... [Bits her lip because talking about such a thing... truly who would enjoy speaking of such a thing.]

Would you like to be my friend Mr. Yo-gee? And how did you break your leg? Are you going to be alright?

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

[Smiles. She's just too sweet.]

I would be honored to be your friend, Miss Alice.

And I crashed my bike. Don't worry! I've had worse things happen to me.

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

Frabjous!

And oh dear! You crashed your bicycle? [Has never seen a motorcycle in her life.] Oh how dreadifying! Those things are so terribly high! I would never be able to ride one. But I'm glad you're alright. Is someone helping to take care of you?

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

[That's okay, he's lying like a rug.]

It was--very dreadifying, yes. [So. Sweet. Youji's about to die of diabetic shock.] So dreadifying that I think we should talk about more pleasant things!

Don't worry, my friends from home are all next door and across the hall. They came to get me when I arrived, and have been taking very good care of me.

What about your friends, Miss Alice? Do you have very many here?

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

That's very good then! If you were all by yourself...

[If you were all by yourself she would have insisted on taking care of you or you staying with her or something of the sort.]

Oh! Well... I have one here who... well he isn't from my world though I'm terribly fond of him. But! I've made ever so many friends here in Somarium! And of course I have Basil.

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm glad to know there's someone with you, too. [Little girls should not be alone in strange worlds.]

Tell me about Basil, please, Miss Alice?

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

Well he has big white floppy ears and the tiniest little paws. His feet are very large and he has the softest fur! Although he didn't come from my world. He was just with me the very second I came here poof!

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

[...a toy of some sort?]

Really! What a pleasant surprise. You take very good care of him, don't you?

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

Oh yes! I make sure that little bunny is very well kept!

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

That's very sweet of you. You will have to introduce me some time!

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

Well Basil has been just the sweetest little bunny! And terribly helpful since the day I arrived! I would love for you to meet him Mr. Yo-gee!

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

Maybe we can arrange something when the weather clears up. You can meet some of my friends, too, I'm sure they'd like you. [Youji doesn't want to be left alone with small children, even if he does think they're sweet.]

What does he help you with?

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

Oh well... I plan on holding a tea party when summer is here! Would you like to come?

Basil finds me maps, and gets me little lists for shopping, and he turns into the berry!

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

A tea party? That sounds like excellent fun. I'll be the first one there!

[The berry...? Oh. So it doesn't always have to be a cell phone? Strange.]

He must be a very clever bunny.

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

Splendid! I'm so excited you'll come!

Oh yes, the cleverest bunny!

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't miss it for the world.

I've never met a bunny who could make shopping lists and give you maps, so he must be.

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

You should meet Mr. Rabbit then! And Mr. March!

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

More friends of yours? I'd be delighted to.

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

Well if they come to the tea party you can meet them then!

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

Well, now I doubly can't wait to attend.

Who else are you inviting, Miss Alice?

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

Hmmm.... oh goodness! Well I'm not entirely sure. I don't think I could invite everyone in Somarium. I simply wouldn't have enough food or invitations!

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

That would be difficult.

Maybe you could have more than one tea party, and stagger your resources?

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

Hmm... We'll see I suppose. There's not going to be any tea party in this sort of weather.
