[ When Hattie's NV turned on, it's to the sight of a khao manee's nose sniffing at the screen with mild curiosity. It stopped to the sound of a door opening, then the cat, apparently alarmed, darted off to leap onto the bed. The focus re-adjusted to show Ella walking into the room.

She walked over to where Hattie was fast asleep in the bed, and gave her a gentle shake. The cat hissed from where he was curled up. ]

Quiet, Lucifurr. Hattie? Time to get up, milady.

[ Another shake, and she was rewarded with a smack in the nose as Hattie rolled over. ]

Ow.

[ Ella grumbled, and considered for a moment. Okay. She brushed her hands against her dress and... proceeded to sing and dance through the room. ]

o/~ Wake up, Wake up, it's time to rise and shine, get out of bed you sleepyhead, come come it's time to dine.
Make haste, make haste, the sunshine is so bright, how can you miss this sigh-? ~/o

[ She'd continue, but at that point Hattie had roused enough to hit Ella with a pillow to shut her up. Ella tossed the pillow back on the bed, finding her stepsister curling up to sleep again. Lucifurr seemed to like it at least. Encore! ]

Okay - I didn't want to have to do this; I mean I really didn't but you leave me no choice. [ She trotted out of the room. Roughly three minutes later she returned with her arms full of pots and pans. Now seemed like a good moment for a witty one-liner: ]

I have a feeling things are going to.. Pan out. [ Welp, she tried. She hucked the dishware into the air, covered her ears and let the chips fall where they may, so to speak. ]

[Hattie, of course, let out an ear-piercing shriek! Both she and her startled cat went flying to the side and out of the bed when she kicked her legs in the air, causing not only a heavy thud when she hit the floor afterward, but the furniture the NV was on toppled as well, the device knocked offline shortly after.]

Why thank you. I don't think she'll appreciate it quite as much as you though. [ Hee. ]

Thats schadenfreude for ya.

Its basically what the holiday was based on.

Schade... that's German isn't it?

Taking pleasure out of another person's pain? I thought the holiday was based on harmless jokes ... or something.

Technically its happiness at the misfortune of others.

Its unfortunate to have a bucket of ice cold water fall on you, but its funny to see it happen to someone else.

As long as they don't get hurt in the process... yes, I suppose it is a little funny.

[Funny was funny regardless, but his sense of humour didn't exactly jive with others]

Course it is! There is a whole brand of comedy called Slapstick dedicated to it.

Slapstick? What does violence against sticks have to do with comedy?

[He laughs]

Its like when someone slips on a bananna peel, or gets hit in the head with a large board as someone turns.

OH! Is that what they call it? I've seen performances when sometimes jesters would do things like that. To entertain the nobles, primarily, but that's just the antics of a jester. To be honest I can't imagine how anyone does what they do without actually hurting themselves. Some of their antics look painful.

Yep, that is what they call it. Its all a matter of knowing how to control power, and roll with hits. If you stand your ground when something hits you, you take the full brunt of it. Thats why they say roll with the punches.

[Actually he has no idea why they say that]

I ... guess that actually makes sense. [ Kind of. ]

THey'd have to roll with the punches, so to speak, if they want to continue what they're doing. I mean, it's noit like they're deliberately going out to taunt lions or something, for the sake of humor - right?

[I just made sense, thats it turn on the jams! Awwwwwww yeaaaaaahh ]

Heh, yeah celebration.

[Don't mind him while he jams for a moment, with the music in his head]

Oh yeah, well taunting lions can be pretty fun, as long as you can bail out. Though it has been said you have to suffer for your art.

[ Snerk! Jam away, Ella's just going to give him a strange look. ]

I feel a little sorry for the lions though. Is that the sort of humor you enjoy? Slapstick?

[ She'd probably like Monty Python, actually. Who doesn't? ]

Slapstick is pretty good, I enjoy all types though.
