[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!

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.

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

Definitely not. This is more like "tea while wrapped in a blanket" weather.

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

Oh very much so! And I have the very warmest blanket! It's fluffy and light blue. But I hope spring comes soon! This ice storm is terribly gloomifying! I've never seen such a terrible storm before!

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

Fluffy blankets are the best kind.

Were you here last winter?

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

I've only been here since December I'm afraid. But the winters in England were never this bad.

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

Really now? This must be quite a difficult change for you.

I'll bet the spring in England is very lovely, then.

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

At first it was lovely. I made a snow man. But now? I just want to see flowers again.
