#hat spectrum

(pavlo was floating alone, meditating and contemplating the world when a stranger in a prismatic technicolored outfit and hat; which covered their face so you can’t see it. Approached him.)

rainbow hat: excuse me.

Pavlo: yes my son.

rainbow hat: I’m told. . . You know everything.

Pavlo: ah! Are you seeking the secret of existence?

rainbow hat: that will do, for a start.

Pavlo: *chuckle* the secret of existence is to distain earthly ties, from the illusion of material worth and seek oneness with the infinite.

rainbow hat: oh i've seen the infinite, it's. . . nothing special.

pavlo: don't be daft, you can't see the infinite, it's. . . infinite.

rainbow hat: . . . i have.

pavlo: alright then. . . what did it look like?

rainbow hat: it's blue.

pavlo: it's black.

rainbow hat: it's blue.

pavlo: it's black.

rainbow hat: from the outside it's blue, believe me.

pavlo: look. . . my son, what exactly is it that you want, i haven't got all day.

rainbow hat: why do things have to be the way they are?

pavlo: ah. . . uh. . . wwwweeeellll umm. . . mmm. . .

rainbow hat: you don't know do you.

pavlo: not. . . exactly, the whole thing is meant to be a mystery see.

rainbow hat: oh well then i will ask you a simpler question, how do humans forget?

pavlo: forget what?

rainbow hat: anything. . . i remember everything. . . do you understand?

pavlo: well. . . traditionally the ways, of forgetting include drinking the waters of some magical river or other, joining the Klatchian Foreign Legion or ahh. . . inviting vast amounts of alcohol!

rainbow hat: aaahhhh yes~

pavlo: but alcohol debilities the body and is a poison to the soul!
