This is all terribly confusing! There's something very fishy here, and it's not any kind of fish I ever saw. It's a confusing fish of a different name altogether. Like Bruce, or Isabelle, or Marzipan. Those aren't names for fishes at all!

Who are you all? Are you who you've been saying you've been being? Are you all some kind of fishes that have been walking about on land? Well, you're going to get everything all wet if you keep doing that! What kind of fish are you anyway?

Maybe I'm not even Alice! Maybe I've been a fish all this time!

Excuse me, could one of you fishes tell me what sorts of sounds I'm supposed to be making? I don't think I've ever heard a fish. Is it a glub-glub sort of noise?

Don't tell me we're going to drown this time...

Now how on Earth would a fish drown? That's just silly!

[alwaysaboom.livejournal.com]

By being on land...

But that's not drowning, is it? That's something else, isn't it? Like suffomacation or something. Either way, you could just go back in the water, you know. I'm sure if you've made it this long without water, you can go another few feet to the ocean. Or the fountain. Or the pool, perhaps.

Oh, well that makes things a lot better.

... Any chance that you'll cough up a straight answer?

I can't imagine what you mean. Are my answers curved, or zig-zagged? If they're a dotted line you could just connect them, I suppose.

[alwaysaboom.livejournal.com]

.... Yes.
