hey tower!
so, i know all of you are still reeling from that wicked party willow and aradia threw a little ways back.
(and it was awesome, you should be reeling.)
but do you know what?
there's going to be another party soon, and you all are invited. oh yes.
floor four, this friday -- that's three days from now.
all you gotta bring is yourself and a desire to PAR-TAY.

also, this friday is my birthday, but i totally understand if you can't find presents.
i mean, i don't know about you, but disembodied heads really aren't on the top of my wish list.

john thats very kind of you to say
and i would be glad to come to your wriggling day party
without disembodied heads youll be glad to hear!

[windykind]

thanks!
there's gonna be some cool stuff there, you'll see.

[Spoilers: he has absolutely no idea what he's going to do for this party. Improv time!]

[verymuchalive]

i cant wait!
you seem to know a lot about parties so i trust your ability to make this a good one

[windykind]

thanks!
really i don't know that much about parties, but i know a lot about pranks.
and really, how different can they be?

[verymuchalive]

well they start with the same letter
thats something?

[windykind]

see? exactly the same.
everything is gonna be fine.

[Not here]

[darkestsatisfaction]

[But... possibly noting to organize a beheaded body if he end up being bored enough and feels like crashing a party.

His mun is so sorry. /sob]

[windykind]

[Good going, John. Now look what you've done. You've attracted the only psycho not affiliated with the tower.]

[darkestsatisfaction]

[That's what he gets for inviting the whole tower. ^^]

[myblueskies]

its your birthday john? how old are you going to be?

[windykind]

fourteen!
i tell you, i nearly missed it.
hard to tell time here.

[myblueskies]

fourteen! you're practically an adult now! everyone will have to start calling you mister john.

except theres already a mister john here. it might get confusing.

[windykind]

really? there's another john?
like, another john who's kind of like me?
or just another person named john?

[myblueskies]

i dont think they are another you john. unless they are a you john when you are a lot older. i think maybe their name is just john.

[windykind]

seriously? wow.
heh heh, you know you've been in the tower too long when you start assuming people with the same name are copies of yourself, i guess.
you can just keep calling me john, and keep calling him mister john.
what's he like?

[myblueskies]

yep i never met anyone who has the same name as someone here but isnt just them from somewhere else! so it is special!

hes really nice and kind, he is sad though because his wife is dead and he misses her

[windykind]

[Wow, that run-on sentence is like a trainwreck. You know it's going to end badly but you just can't look away. ...Not that he isn't guilty of those himself.]

aw.
poor guy.
well i don't know how good the tower is at helping people heal emotional scars, but i hope he's alright.

[restitchtime]

[she's got a strong suspicion who this might be given syntax (even if seeing him use contractions is kind of jarring) and that really does nothing to make her feel any less pissy. the worst part is that she isn't sure whether she's annoyed that this is a John or that it isn't her John. eurgh.]

What the fuck is with the people in this tower and needing to host a constant stream of parties? Did I miss the memo that said we'd all have to act like six year olds hopped up on sugar to get out? Christ.

[windykind]

well, it's not like it's mandatory attendance or anything!
if you don't like parties you can always steer clear.
i mean, the time and the place are right up there, just avoid floor four on friday.

[restitchtime]

I already know that you shitheads aren't going to show up at the foot of my bed in the morning and drag me to the party, but thanks for the incredibly informative notice anyway.

What I'm trying to do is figure out what the hell everyone's fixation on fucking parties is; thanks to you I'm starting to think it's just that most of the people here are severely brain damaged.

[windykind]

[Whew, this person is just as bad as the trolls. Time to take a different approach.]

ok, just making sure.
but if you don't want to bother with any of these, i don't see what the problem is!
mind your own business.

[restitchtime]

I'll do whatever the fuck I like, thanks all the same. The problem is that it's looking more and more like I can count the number of people capable of doing anything more mentally strenuous than tying their shoes on one hand, which (surprising, I know) is kind of shitty when you're trying to do something besides party all night and get the fuck out of here.

I hope I didn't use too many big words for you. Repeating myself isn't really on the agenda.

[windykind]

screw you, i've seen much worse than that.
anyway, just because all of us don't want to sit around and brood all the time doesn't mean we're stupid, or that we don't want to get out of here.
i think basically all of us do.
and i'm pretty sure that people have tried to do it before!
besides, what do you think this is going to do?
for example, you could be using this time seeking out the people who are 'advanced' enough to help you out, instead of arguing with me.
or learning some common decency.
either one would really help your cause, i think.

[restitchtime]

Sorry sunshine, but I save my stock of carefully collected manners for people who actually deserve them. Unfortunately for you you're not one of them and I've got all the time in the world. I can keep riding you all day and still get more shit done than you.

But hey, don't let that stop you. Keep trying to make me feel ashamed for calling you out on being a useless fuck, it's a great read.

[windykind]

yeah ok, you have a schtick.
suddenly i feel so, so ashamed for taking up some of your valuable non-time.
then again, if you're here with me, then i would assume that you've already got all your work done and we're going to be out of here in a matter of hours.
so what time is it going to be, huh?
when can i mark my calendar with "masked troll hero rescues us all"?
