Found something interesting but can't read it. I thought you might be able to help! Let me know if you would like to.

Wei Wuxian,
Oh, of course! Feel free to drop by anytime.

Re: text

[lunchbreaks]

Yes, alright. Just let me know when you head up, I'll put some tea on.

[scaredofdogs]

On my way!

[And will be knocking on his door a few minutes later.]

[lunchbreaks]

[ With the door open, he gestures for Wei Wuxian to come in, and then goes to get him a cup of tea. ]

How have you been?

[scaredofdogs]

Ahh..It's been a rough couple weeks but I'm surviving. How about you?

[He walks in and carries the poem over to the table.]

[lunchbreaks]

Oh, it's been alright. What's this you have for me?

[ He pours Wei Wuxian some tea and then goes to take a look at the paper. ]

Jabberwocky... I can see why the empathy had a time with this!

[scaredofdogs]

We found in the room they have all the books about plants...Do you know what a Jabberwocky is? Is it trying to warn us of something?

[He takes the tea and blows on it as he stares at the paper.]

[lunchbreaks]

It's a nonsense poem. They were quite popular! Just words that are supposed to sound a certain way, to teach children. Frabjous, for instance, is supposed to suggest fair and joyous, but it's not a real word.

[scaredofdogs]

Ahh..so it couldn't understand it because it only knows real words.

[That makes him feel a little better about their failure to translate it.]

Is the Jabberwocky fake too?

[lunchbreaks]

I had thought so, but here, who knows what is real and what isn't?

Was there anything else with this poem?

[scaredofdogs]

[He shakes his head.]

We found it inside one of the books about plants. It's like it wasn't supposed to be there.

[lunchbreaks]

Books?

--Where are the books?

I think Crowley should see them; he knows more about plants than I do...

[scaredofdogs]

I can show you! There is a room of them downstairs. Lan Zhan was going through them and trying to figure out how many different plants there was.

[lunchbreaks]

Ah, perfect! Let's go.

[scaredofdogs]

[He picks up the poem and heads towards the door.]

So these things described in the poem..how do they look in the stories?

[lunchbreaks]

Oh, it's just some fearsome thing meant to scare children. So I suppose... it looks quite similar to a dragon?

[scaredofdogs]

Ahh..well that would definitely be something that sticks out.

[He leads him down the hall towards the elevator.]

I wonder if one actually lives outside of the hotel.

[lunchbreaks]

Well, if it helps, I certainly haven't seen one inside the hotel!

But I did turn into a snake once, so I think perhaps even if we see a Jabberwock, it might just be another resident.

[scaredofdogs]

Ahh really?? Did you get to be a shapeshifter too??

[Because that was the most fun he's had.]

[lunchbreaks]

Oh.

You as well? What could you turn into?

[scaredofdogs]

I could turn into anything! I was a rabbit and a lizard.. I even used it to change into my previous body.

[lunchbreaks]

Oh! That's very useful. I should've liked to see that!

[scaredofdogs]

Maybe I can get it back and show you! If I do then I will certainly let you know.
