Wonderland: Day One

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.]

I just got here- I don't know where I am.

What happened to you? When did you have rabbit ears?
not_mafia: (now that you mention it)

[personal profile] not_mafia 2013-01-13 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, of course, that would be my luck...

[He then perks up and looks at Allen.]


Pardon me, good sir? Nothing has happened, save for the fact that I am late once again. [He doesn't answer the second question, and instead trails off into nervous mumbles.] Must've gotten lost in here half a dozen times, at least. Why must they have this labyrinth so...? --ah!

Time is ticking! I really should be on my way, lest I want to keep my head...
save_the_souls: (I'm a what now?)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2013-01-13 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
- Keep your head?!

What are you talking about?
not_mafia: (but why do you run)

[personal profile] not_mafia 2013-01-13 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I have been summoned, you see, and I was to arrive at the castle around ten minutes ago. But of course, I got lost in here again...

[He bows his head, wringing the trumpet anxiously.]

P-perhaps I ought not to go at all. I have been late far too many a time, and our majesties' patience is sure to have run out with me by now.
save_the_souls: (tied up whut)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2013-01-13 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
- They would honestly decapitate you for being ten minutes late?

That preposterous!
not_mafia: (omfg)

[personal profile] not_mafia 2013-01-13 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[He visibly starts at his accusation.]

A-ah!! S-shhhh! If any of the guards were to hear you...

[He bites his lower lip and brings his hand up to his neck, cutting across his neck with his pointer finger. His voice drops to a whisper.]

They may not be preferable circumstances, but they are what they are either way; there is little to be done about it.
save_the_souls: (calling out)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2013-01-13 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
- That's insane.

[This entire thing is insane. He just saw Tsuna this morning over breakfast! And now he's a rabbit who thinks he's going to get his head]

[- ugh whatever he'll figure it out later. But one thing is clear]

I'm not going to let you lose your head, okay? I promise.
not_mafia: (not so sure)

[personal profile] not_mafia 2013-01-13 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[He looks up at him then, and gives a sigh.]

Well-- if we are to talk, then may we at least do so whilst searching for an exit? After all... [The later he becomes, the lower his chances are of living through this.

And while they are walking, he'll glance at the other.]


If I may be so bold-- who may you be? I cannot say I've seen your face around these parts before.
save_the_souls: (watching)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2013-01-13 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
All right, we can do that.

[He'll move to stand, brushing himself off]

My name is Allen Walker. I'm from Paradisa- I just brought here through some sort of mirror.
not_mafia: (keep your eyes open)

[personal profile] not_mafia 2013-01-13 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Paradisa...? Ah, you are a foreigner, then! I see-- your behavior makes much more sense now.

[He pauses to bring an arm up to his chest as he bows at the waist.]

May I welcome you to Wonderland, Mr. Walker. I am the White Rabbit. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, despite the circumstances.
save_the_souls: (to cheer you up)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2013-01-13 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Foreigners have come here before?

[Oh wow he just got bowed at that feels weird no wonder people laugh at him]

Ah, thank you. It's nice to meet you too!
not_mafia: (don't eat worms)

[personal profile] not_mafia 2013-01-13 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, well, not particularly. I wouldn't exactly call this an ideal vacation spot...

[They come to a four-way intersection, and the Rabbit stops in the middle, looking each way.]

Oh, there was some pattern to this, surely, but it must have slipped my mind. Of course, that much is obvious, given that I'm lost! [A very nervous laugh. He's so screeeeewed.]
save_the_souls: (be good Timcampy!)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2013-01-13 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose not... [If people get their heads chopped off a lot]

Look, try calming down! The way out might come to you then!
not_mafia: (uncertainty)

[personal profile] not_mafia 2013-01-13 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course, just calm down... It's not easy when you know certain doom awaits you.

[He gives a gulp then, a hand trailing along a hedge's leaves as he tries to remember the way out.]
save_the_souls: (calling out)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2013-01-13 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, I said I wouldn't let you lose your head, didn't I?
not_mafia: (but--)

[personal profile] not_mafia 2013-01-13 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[He stops and looks at Allen.]

No offense, Mr. Walker, but you are but a visitor here, and I should daresay that your word has even less merit than the ones who live here. And, well... our word means little to begin with, I'm afraid.
save_the_souls: (calling out)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2013-01-13 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[He groans, because dude you're his flipping roommate! And stop talking like that it's freaky on you!]

This is all bloody madness..!

If you're worried about meeting doom, why don't you just not go?!
not_mafia: (scored another 0)

[personal profile] not_mafia 2013-01-13 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Mr. Walker, please lower your voice.

If I were not to go, then I would surely be hunted down regardless. ... I do suppose I would have some chance, if I were to go out and live in the woods like a savage. Yes, perhaps that Mad Hatter, March Hare and Dormouse would take me in... better living with mad men than dead, I suppose.

[man he sure does have some great life choices to make]
save_the_souls: (be good Timcampy!)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2013-01-13 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah seriously man what do you live Allen's life or something]

....

How about this, if you help me find a way out of this place and back from where I came from, you could come with me!
not_mafia: (brightened up)

1/2

[personal profile] not_mafia 2013-01-13 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[He seems to brighten considerably at this suggestion, ears perking up.]

Ah-- truly, Mr. Walker? I would be ever so grateful!
not_mafia: (but--)

2/2

[personal profile] not_mafia 2013-01-13 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[And then the ears fall back again as he looks away nervously.]

Oh, but... where did you say you came from? Paradisa, was it? Hmm... Might that be another name for the land ruled under the King of Spades? ... or Clubs, perhaps? Diamonds?
save_the_souls: (Being Carried)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2013-01-13 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, Paradisa. And we're not ruled by any king or queen.
not_mafia: (listening)

[personal profile] not_mafia 2013-01-13 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
No queen or king? Must be why it's called Paradisa, then.

Well, I may in fact be able to get us out of this maze, but I cannot promise you much in the way of returning you to your home.
save_the_souls: (small smile)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2013-01-13 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm, we govern ourselves.

[Dude who are you kidding you can't even get us out of the maze]

It's all right, we'll just work together.
not_mafia: (it's OK)

[personal profile] not_mafia 2013-01-13 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
You are truly a blessing, Mr. Walker. I have ever only known such kindness to come from the King.

[If nothing else, the White Rabbit seems significantly calmer now. He travels quietly through the maze, focused on finding the way out.]
