Something Wicked This Way Comes

[inthebones]

[Being the granddaughter of the Cheerful Fairy could be very difficult at times. ...Enough said.]

[voice]
Oh, don't let's all be so on edge.  We have enough trouble without everyone being absolutely horrid to each other for no good reason whatsoever.  That reminds me - Do you all know what my grandmother always told me when I was young?  Yes, that's right.

Whiskers on kittens and brown paper, er... chickens.
Bright blue bananas and... and... aluminum mittens oh, no mittens was in the previous line
Enemas given to quite sore behinds
These are a few of my favorite... No, stop, I got confused with lines; that was supposed to rhyme with 'things'.  Let's begin again.

[This continues for about ten minutes before Susan finally stops singing.]

Oh, forget the song.  The point is, come now, there's no reason we can't all be friends!  It's a lovely summer day outside.  Who wants to join me for a rousing game of hopscotch?  I'll bake cookies~

Luke!  Slugger!  Edward!

It's time for our weekly game of charades!  I've prepared an entirely new set of clues; everything from 'small child receiving a pat on his head from his favorite great-aunt' to 'dancing on rooftops with chimney sweeps'.  It will be great fun; oh, I simply couldn't sleep last night thinking about it!

ARE YOU FEELING ALRIGHT?

[inthebones]

Oh!

Hello, Death. You're welcome to join in as well, though no giving away the answers telepathically.

[likescats]

YOU SEEM....VERY


CHEERFUL.

[Something is very wrong here.]

[Slugger arrives in time to hear of Susan's plans of "great fun" for the day, words that he knows couldn't have possibly come from her mouth. Presently, he wonders if either he's lost his hearing or if she's lost her mind and stares at her with an expressionless face.]


Come again?

[inthebones]

And whoever wins.

Gets to go first in Family Pictionary!

[Susan claps her hands together in glee as she beams.]

[strike_you_out]

[The enthusiasm elicits a slight flinch but after a moment's consideration, he concludes that she's trying to mess with him. Ha! Nice try, Susan. He grins with sarcastic delight.]

That sounds swell.

[Oh my god this is horrifying I need an adult.

Luke will just stare blankly at her as she enters.]

I don't want to play.

[inthebones]

Oh, Luke. Don't be like that; it will be fun! You remember the last time we played?

[hintcoinplz]

Yes. I hated it then too.

Go bother someone else.

Hopscotch? COOKIES? That sounds AWESOME!

[inthebones]

Oh, I knew I could count on you, Pinkie Pie! We'll have ever so much fun together. Bring all your friends!

Susan?

[It... sounds like her. Except it doesn't actually... sound like her.]

[inthebones]

Oh, Didi! Now, I'm afraid I have some rules before we play... Black just won't do in the summer -- so much heat! -- so I'll have to ask you to change into something brighter and more comfortable. You'll look lovely in pink. Or perhaps a baby blue.

Don't you think there are better things we could be doing?

[inthebones]

Nobody's too busy that they can't ever stop for a break!

[Phone]

[sturmbahnfuhrer]

Stop.

[Really. Just...stop Susan. He finds your current behavior somewhat amusing but truth be told.

He's disgusted by it.]

[inthebones]

Oh, dear, I am sorry. I'll try to write down the lyrics in advance next time; I just know so many delightful songs I want to share with you all.

[726 Anderson]

[questionauthority]

No games, Susan. Not today.

[inthebones]

No games?

But... Luke and Slugger will be ever so disappointed. Come now, Edward. You want to set a good example, don't you?

[and the most alarming AU of the city goes toooo-!!]

This is really quite discomforting.

[inthebones]

I... suppose I was never very good at keeping in tune. Don't worry; I'll practice more.

Miss Susan?

[WHAT IN THE NINE REALMS IS GOING ON IN THIS TOWN GREAT ODIN'S BEARD!]

[inthebones]

Oh, please, call me Miss Suzie. Or just Suzie is perfectly alright.

[mal_addict]

...Oh good, you've gone crazy too. Wonderful. Not as if we didn't have enough of that already.

[inthebones]

Oh, I'm afraid you've got me. Crazy for good, clean fun and cheer.
