11th sweater: a singing sunflower

[Forward dated to the 16th]

[Dictated]

So I was taking Waddles for a stroll through the castle this morning like I normally do--growing pigs need their exercise!--and we were discussing what kind foods go with which kind of dips, which is a whole 'nother story for another time. While we were walking, I couldn't help but notice that there are a lot of doors without names on them. What's the deal?

I know it's not all the people who died from that whole space thing. By the way? Welcome back! Some of you? Most of you... I was going to send flowers but I thought I had a little more time to get them ready. [She's not going to get technical or even bother to ask why their deaths were shorter.]

My point is, how come there are so many empty rooms? I know that people tend to come and go, but that's a lot. It makes us all more spaced out and far away. I guess if you like privacy it's a good thing, but where's the sense of community if your closest neighbor is aaaaaaall the way down the hall or at the very top of a tower?

It kind of makes you wonder if the castle is starting to downsize on the occupants.

[Food and dips, huh? Jane knows what that's about, but again, discussion for another time.]

Why do you think it would do that? I would think it'd try to pull more folks in to do more horrid things to us.

[bezazzled]

Beats me! Maybe it's on a diet and trying to watch its figure.

[cyan_maid]

[Jane gigglesnorts!] Does it have to prepare for swimsuit season?

[bezazzled]

Tchyeah! It's trying to fit into an itsy bitsy, teenie weenie, yellow polka-dot bikini.

[yay_heiress]

So that's why the castle seems so empty! I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

[bezazzled]

Some floors are like a ghost town. And that's not including the actual ghosts.

[yay_heiress]

A ghost town without ghosts?
How does that work, exactly?

[bezazzled]

I have no idea. The point is, it's really empty and lonely.

[hellshaped]

[he is going to pick out the most important part of this, ok r u ready]

You have a pig named Waddles?

[bezazzled]

[Hellboy you're great]

Oh my gosh. You haven't met Waddles yet?

[hellshaped]

[indisputably yes]

I think I would have remembered that.

[bezazzled]

Well then, we have to fix this! You're going to love him, I just know it. He's pretty much impossible not to love.

[fanstheflame]

I think it's more ... leaving space so that it can bring more people in.

[bezazzled]

That doesn't make any sense. It's a magic castle! If it's concerned about room for more people, it could just add more floors.

[fanstheflame]

It could, but ... I remember when it moved everything around, a while ago. It kicked us all out onto the grounds to do it. We all had to camp out in tents. So ... maybe changing things on that big a scale isn't as easy?

[banshee_rider]

That's an interesting theory.

[bezazzled]

It's less a theory and more just idle thoughts. But thanks!

[banshee_rider]

Idle thoughts can lead to important realizations.

[bezazzled]

Huh. Most of my idle thoughts lead to silly observations and jokes.

[billiardsplz]

Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. But you know what it'd be good for?

[bezazzled]

Not doorbell ditch, that's for sure.

[billiardsplz]

Course not! We could have secret pillow wars around the castle.

[nukeoleptic]

Waddles is your pig?

ditto!

[bezazzled]

And my best friend. [Whispering] My best pig friend, but don't tell him I said that!

ditto!

[nukeoleptic]

That's awesome. Can I meet him?
