I promised to keep the bubble universe safe. I kept it on my finger. I watched it. I held it by my bedside and my place of bathing. 

Then I accidentally exposed it to Jill's voice. 

Her voice made me weep. I took my eyes off the bubble universe. Their membrane broke. 

The Hatters are free. The Tepid Witch laughs. At me. 

I failed. 

EDITED TO ADD; but after Jill's voice released The Hattervarse, Vince went into the studio to make music.

Way to go Pandora
Aaaaigh!

Did it break at the show?! Is the stone gone? If you call Bellefonte Cafe and ask them if they found the stone, Matt can swing over there and pick it up and hang onto it for you.

Oh noooOoOoooo! That ring was so pretty!
It's all gone. I looked for it with one of the servers, but there just ain't no way.

despite what I've said about the ring, it wouldn't hold up to scientific examination to be what geologists or gemologists would, technically, call a "stone." I'm pretty sure it was glass.

GLASS FROM THE EAST WINDOW OF THE TEMPLE OF SHENSHAKAZONG! Salvaged from the fire which killed Ko'ni't'pring, High Priestess of Melatonin, during the Festival of... Okay, never mind.

I'm not fussed. It had to move on. And now, when something goes wrong, we can blame the escaped Hatters and the Tepid Witch.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I'm not sure where the accent comes in "Shenshakazong."
