Wonderland: Day One

[wonderlandian]

The residents of Paradisa who ventured into the lobby on the 13th would find something new there; a mirror spanning an entire wall. Given recent happenings, who can blame them if they're cautious? Trouble is, this mirror seems to really want to bring people in, because you don't have to get too close before you're through the looking glass.

Once you've gone, you may find that you're not quite yourself.

[Notes/Reminders: Type 1 and Type 2 characters will believe they are Wonderland natives. All characters, including those not entering Wonderland, will be able to use their journals; Wonderland "natives" will think it is a communication device exclusive to Wonderland, although communication between Paradisa and Wonderland through the journals is absolutely possible. You may NPC any number of Tulgey Wood creatures, except for the Jabberwocky.]

Ah-!!

[Turning said corner, Asuna comes upon this odd sight, and she lets out a noise of surprise before she can stop herself. Was it loud enough to be heard? She sort of hopes not.]

[impetuous]

Did you hear that? What was that?

[ One of the soldiers answers, "A girl, Your Majesty." ]

Nonsense! How could a girl get doing--ah! A girl!

[ And he moves behind one of the soldiers. ]

And who would you be?

[foin]

Your Majest-- oh!

My name is Asuna, Your Majesty, and I seem to be lost.

[She bows as she introduces herself. Manners are important sometimes, and you never know.]

[impetuous]

[ With this royal couple, manners might be the only thing to save you. ]

Lost? Why, you're in the castle of Her Majesty, the Queen of Hearts, child! And now you're no longer lost!

[ The soldiers are quick to look impressed with their king's cleverness. ]

[foin]

Aha... [Asuna can't help but give an unsure smile. Dear god what is this.]

Thank you, Your Majesty. Perhaps, if you'd be willing, I might ask for some information?

[impetuous]

Yes, yes, but make it quick. I've a game to get to and my wife would be terribly upset with me if I were late.

[ The guards look distinctly concerned at the mention of the queen. ]

[foin]

Of course! I'm not from around here, you see. Wonderland is completely new to me, and I was hoping you knew of a way I could return to where I came from. If not, perhaps you could direct me to someone who might?

[impetuous]

Not from around here? Stuff and nonsense. Where else could you be from?

[foin]

It's sort of a long story, Your Majesty, and I'm sure you'd rather I didn't hold you up further.

[impetuous]

Yes. Yes. Run along then.

[ you are dismissed. ]

[foin]

Do you know of anyone else who might be able to help?

[She speaks quickly before he can cut her off or anything of the sort.]

[impetuous]

No. And don't think to bother the Queen, child.

[foin]

I had no intention of doing so, Your Majesty. I'm sure both of you are very busy.
