It was chair-stacking day at The Hive. Instead of putting the chairs around the tables, someone had had the marvelous idea of building them into tall towers ON the tables. Mid-way through tower creation, the Factol had a notion.

“What month is it?” The question was accompanied by a cacophony of crashing as tables and chairs fell in the background.

A berk on the sidelines did some quick calculations on his fingers, and then announced “Capricious!”

“Capricious? Why didn’t anyone tell me?! Right. So. Capricious. . .Suoicirpac. . .” Factol Karan seemed to mull over the syllables for a few minutes before climbing up onto the pile of fallen chairs, and humming a few bars of a jaunty tune.

“Tra la la la! Comrades, it is the month of Xaos! The blue duck roars meekly into the lunch hour! Capriciousness beats the lettuce drum to a tune alike to cheese sandwiches served with bottled djinni! Little Giant halfling not-a-man sits on round dead tree thing opposite-of-far from Mr. Burn man-or-not-man! Xao might or might not have chosen her!

“So then! What are we doing about THE SURPRISE?” He points to some random bystander, “You should think about finding out some time around strawberry icecream!”

He then picked up a copy of SIGIS, started reading, and then jumped up with another thought: “And don't forget to remember to not forget MUSHROOM.”

Approximately 63% of the room nodded and repeated, “Mushroom.”

Boss Jiro, threw his hat into the air, yelling with the rest of room. "Mushrooms indeed! I declare for a souffle. A shroommush souffle! Can a bird really sing the song of the destined dentist definite demon ding dong? I dare say yes. The hatters shall bare witness by tossing our hats into the hattery pit of mount shroom. Kölle alaf!"
Before breaking out into a song with his Lute, accompanied by his Goblin Drummer and singing the theme song of the hatters.

"Yes, yes, Cook! Make us a mushroom souffle! A really big one! Now, back on topic. . . which is. . . " the Factol paused dramatically, and his train of thought derailed.

A bystander picked up on the conversation: "FOCUS! Yes, being a Xaos requires concentration! Chaos is - eek! A rat!" There followed a scuffle as several people tried to locate and shoo out said rat. Further conversation was drowned out for a few minutes.

When things settled down, Factol Karan continued his speech as though nothing had happened: "Ah yes! Time! The month! The month that is! Chaos of the month! What are we doing for the Surprise? The first right answer gets to be Factol for the day!"

Soppi kept bringing back more chairs she had 'found' somewhere, only speaking in fragments at a time with each trip.

"I think. We should. Make. A really big. Pool!"

She set the last chair in place on her mountain of table and chairs, scurrying away as it came crashing down.

The hatters in the room, around Jiro, all wearing their fabulous hats stop playing their song and look at eachother clueless as they are faced with this question.

"We petition for opening a Bar! A Chaos-Bar! Or owning Khazeets bar! Yes! Bar! We serve everything you would expect or perhaps not! Frog-eye shakes, and Shroom Souffles! Yes! Shroom shakes!
*They then begin to say a whole long list of strange foods and beverages to serve.*

Choit finally joins in "Nope! We'll make a new ward! The Lords Ward! For gender equality. Just put up a lot of signs about exiting and entering the Lords Ward, and wall off a section to make it clear." nodding a few times "Or doppelganger everyone notable! And make things in their names. Because lets be honest, ain't everyone going to know the difference when they haven't seen the real people before." she's still not out of ideas "Or, OR we'll swap every sign in the Sigil with our own or the existing ones. Street signs, store signs, ward signs. Every sign!"

"Fill all the major streets with sticky tar. Watch everyone walk like cats with wooden tubes on legs." claps her hands together once "Or! All the above!"

Soppi popped out of the landslide of wooden chairs that had overtaken her. "All of the above!"

"All of the above - I have it!" decreed Karan, raising his arm in the area dramatically, "We shall take over the Guildhall Ward and the Great Gymnasium!"

He became much more coherent as he was issuing orders - this was important, after all: "We will make it the BEST ward in the city! The Ward of the Xaositects! . . . not that we need to call it that, it should get a catchier name. Choit - see about a catchier name and signage for it. Also, see about anything I don't assign to anyone else.

"We'll need to distract the Ciphers while we turn their Gymnasium into a giant pool, and change all the signage leading to and from the Guildhall ward. Soppi, you're in charge of distracting the Ciphers. Make it big!

"Jiro, find us a new headquarters in the Guildhall ward. Redecorate and hire new cooks who aren't afraid to try new things! This is very important, we're going to celebrate our victory party there.

"Then we'll need to redecorate. Six people pick colors, and whoever can get their color on the most buildings in the ward wins!"

His face became completely serious: "And remember everyone, its not about success. Its about reminding the Cage that WE EXIST!! You have until the end of the month to make the biggest literal splash - of water, paint, whatever - that the city has ever seen! GO!"

The hatters throw their hats in the air with a hooray!
The noise suddenly dies down as Jiro takes out a non-lit pipe, putting it to his mouth and turning to the Factol.

"Detective Jiro is on the case."

He then strikes a little pose, before running out with a fist pointing forward as if he was Super-Hin!
All the while he does make this exit, the hatters quietly go:
"nanananananananananananana Jiroooo"
