Go Ask Alice | Written & Action

[wonderlandian]

My, what a curious book this is! The words on these pages contain as much nonsense as the world I've found myself in!

I suppose it is best that I introduce myself. That is the proper thing to do, after all. My name is Alice, and I fell down a rabbit hole and wound up here! 

At least it is far better than reading a book with no pictures.

[Alice can be found all over Wonderland; the twelve-year-old is quite curious to explore.]

A Million Mushrooms

[theabjectauthor]

[for those residents questionably fortunate enough to be wandering about Wonderland - which, really, for all intents, possible should have been called Wanderland, for that is all they seem to be doing - you might round a bend in the forest and see a curl of green smoke.

don't worry, the forest is not on fire.

but if you are curious enough to follow it, you will find the smoke winds through the trees and into a grove of mushrooms! there is a very fancy decanter nearby, with the label "Drink Me" ... and on the ground, nearby to a clump of mushrooms: a tin of rice crackers and a small, fancy glass jar of wasabi. they're labeled "Eat Us", though the label is very small and likely not visible to the normal-sized eye.

on the mushrooms, however, is seated a large, blue caterpillar with a round and familiar face. he is humming contentedly to himself and occasionally taking puffs from an ornate hookah situated at the base of his mushroom-chair. well, that certainly explains the smoke.

his journal is propped up against another clump of mushrooms, and the caterpillar reaches out to turn the page with the wand of the hookah with an expression of vague disdain]

I do not suppose any of you know any fine verses...?

Wonderland: Day Three: Activities

[wonderlandian]

[As life in Wonderland continues, today brings two extra odd events:

First of all, on the beach, there is a group of beings running around in a circle. If you ask one of them what they're doing, they will tell you they are participating in the Caucus Race to get dry. If you happen to ask one of them when they'll be done, they will just look utterly baffled and then keep running.

Meanwhile, the Mad Tea Party continues. Rather long for a tea party, but Time isn't cooperating for it. There are plenty of seats around the table, and plenty of kettles of tea atop it.]

Tweedles

[lord_wizard]

You know, it’s rather terribly rude of you all to go on about how out of sorts things are here.

We’re perfectly well-sorted here, thank you. Have you considered that you’re the ones who need sorting? You’re guests, after all - complaining that things aren’t as they are in your own homes is very unseemly.

Quite so. Our seeming is very much in order, thank you all for not asking. And while you’re not asking perhaps you should ask yourselves if maybe you’re more turned around than you think.

Turn yourselves right around and go home, if you ask us. Which you’re not.

Certainly not. We should sort some manners into these silly darlings.

Absolutely so, my dear brother. We’re paragons of good grace after all.

Perhaps maybe introducing yourselves before trodding all over our grass and insulting the Queen.

Possibly probably say - “Oh hello, good sirs and ladies, my name is Tweedle Dum”

Well, except they wouldn’t because that’s your name.

No of course not, Tweedle Dee, they don’t have as much good sense to be me.

Or me.

[Felix (Tweedle Dee) is gold, and Clow (Tweedle Dum) is red. Replies will come from both]]

Thirty-eighth Spell

[courageous_wit]

This is exactly the sort of place that Luna would enjoy, if she were here. She wouldn't have any trouble... I'm going to try to explore everything so I can tell her about it if she ever comes.

Not that I would wish her to be trapped here too, of course.

thirty-third twist of the coil

[vampirize]

This is positively the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of. Painting roses? Using flamingos as croquet bats? Talking flowers? Was the castle on drugs when it created this all, or what?

Can castles even take drugs...? Oh, god, whatever, I don't need to think about stupid stuff like that. This is silly, and moronic, and I really don't need to be here, going to all those tea parties the creatures here keep rambling about.

[A pause as he grumbles to himself, before:]

They better have wine at that tea party, or I swear, I'm going to punch the Red Queen in the face, beheading or not.

013 - Swoooosh

[silentrunning]

[Chell's sitting on the beach, staring out at the water. This is the very first time she's ever been to a beach, so she's soaking up the sunrise. Her journal is open on her lap, and she's writing in it, kind of distractedly.]

This place is pretty. I think I could sit here forever. Anyone want to come join me?

[Sitting on the beach is nice. But it'd be nicer with company.]

Sixtieth Sip

[mal_addict]

Perhaps we all need a lesson in 'things not to do in Paradisa', because clearly you're not learning. So let me give you a helpful little hint:

If there's something new in the middle of the lobby, chances are it's the castle's doing and going near it will make something stupid and/or dangerous happen to you.

I mean, honestly, given it's a mirror, I'd of hoped you lot would have been more wary of it, given mirrors were a big part of the last problem we had. If you're incapable of learning such things, I suggest getting yourself a buddy who is.

Dictated

[schrodingersghost]

 Okay, I give.  This place is weirder than the Ghost Zone.

And that's something I never thought I would say.

Everyone doing okay?
