The Mad Hatter was not unsympathetic towards mad people; rather, he felt that they were the only ones who made sense. All those boring "sane" people tended to grate on one's nerves after a while, asking his opinions about things like weather or music, or forgetting the time and asking him about it. Really, how was he supposed to feel comfortable extolling his opinions on weather to someone he'd never even had a cup of tea with? Weather was such an ill-tempered thing already, so talking to near-strangers would probably give it the misconception that the Hatter was gossiping about it--he shuddered to think of the havoc that angry weather would wreak. And he was still trying to make amends with Time, so it wasn't like he could rightfully answer about him.
At the moment he was sitting a short distance away from the asylum, humming a tune between sips from a teacup as he watched passersby. Most of them didn't seem pleased at seeing him, either skirting a few feet around him or crossing the street entirely.

Murphy had once again escaped the asylum, this time, by leaving a trail of candy for some of the crazier people to eat, so when it was all gone, they rioted.
He jumped out of a window screaming "LET US NOT FORGET ADRIAN BARBEU!!" and landed on the front lawn, doing a tuck and roll, with Buckethead Wendy by his side. "Wendy, we have to find us some mustaches, they'll never know us with mustaches."

What on earth is that ruckus? The Hatter thought.
There was the culprit--a gray-haired fellow with an equally gray-haired (and somewhat oddly-shaped) woman. He put his teacup back in his hat for safekeeping and cleared his throat before marching over; really, just because the fellow was mad didn't mean he had to galumph around like that.
"Excuse me, sir, but I am TRYING to have a proper cup of tea!"

Murphy stared at him for a moment, as if he wasn't really there, then smiled "Do you happen to have any mustaches?" He pointed to the mop with a bucket on it "Buckethead Wendy needs to hide."

He frowned at the man's casual tone towards the lady--Wendy, was her name? She wasn't too pretty, but her acquaintance didn't have to call her bucket head, and the Hatter really hoped this was the extent of the man's uncouthness. "I don't have a mustache, sir, but I would be more than willing to help you and the lady. My tea shop is..."
Oh, dear, where was it? He hadn't seen it for a while.
"Never mind. I know a place where they won't ask too many questions."
Of course, his extensive freedom was only because he was the Hatter, and everyone knew he was mad. He motioned for the pair to follow him into a nearby alley--they were the quickest ways to the main streets of Paris. "This way."

Murphy had no reason not to trust him, he wasn't Marco or Quinn, so that was all right. He followed the odd little man in to the alleyway whispering to Wendy.

Well, he seemed much more amenable now that they were in the alleys. Perhaps the gentleman liked dark, cramped spaces?
"What's your name, by the way? I believe you only introduced the lady?"

"Captain Hank Hazel Murphy, but most people just call me Captain, I'm from Sealab and I used to be a cartoon." He stuffed his hands in his pockets and realized he had two mustaches in his pocket and Squishface. He left Squishface in there and stuffed a mustache on Wendy's face and put one on his own.

((Squishy is adorable, but WTF IS THAT STUFF DRIPPING OUT OF HIM? I really hope it isn't what I think. )) "A captain, are you? What an honor to meet such an upstanding person!" He took a left at a fork in the passageway.

((Lol, its liquor. In the show Captain Murphy buys Squishface and runs away before the woman can tell him never to feed it liquor of any kind, or it'll replicate like Gremlins, well he gets drunk in a bathtub and pours it on her head.))
"Captain of Sealab, an underwater research station. Though most of them are jerkfaces."

"Underwater? You must be acquainted with a great deal of sea-life, then," the Hatter remarked.

"Well there's Sharko, but I was fighting in the Spice Wars during that time. He's the bastard son of Marco and a shark."

"No accounting for taste, I suppose," the Hatter mused. Sharks were rather blunt and impolite; he could barely stand them for tea, let alone anything that took longer.
