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.]

What?!

Gwaine- are you out of your mind?! You can't execute people- cards for sweating! They can't help it!

[impetuous]

They can't?

[ Looking back at the soldiers who are very quick to shake their heads and beg for clemency. ]

Fine, fine, off with you. Before I fetch the executioner myself.

[ Ever seen human-size cards disappear? Because these ones managed it. ]

[save_the_souls]

[He meanwhile breaths a sigh of relief. He may not know the card things, but he rather not have Gwaine executing anyone over something so stupid]

Are people really executed that easily here?

[impetuous]

[ The King looks surprised Allen stayed. He looks around before dropping his voice. ]

My Queen has a…bit of a temper. They ought know not to do anything she doesn't like. Better I frighten them into stopping than them upsetting her.

[ It's.......the most sensible thing he's said all day. ]

[save_the_souls]

[Yep, it sure is. And it causes Allen's eyes to widen. What Gwaine's been doing here is placating a tyrant. Gwaine, the most outspoken of all Camelot's knights reduced to a sniveling noble that just tolerates the insane whims a royal that executes over things like sweating?]

This is worse than Krasus thinking he was a Charizard...

Gwaine, this may sound insane but- does the name Camelot mean anything? O-or King Arthur?

[impetuous]

[ Excuse you, he's a sniveling royal. Hence the crown. ]

Who's Camelot? Is that the King of Spades? He'd have a queer name like that, certainly.

[save_the_souls]

Um...no.

[Drat, it's too soon.]

Look, I should probably get going...but would I be allowed to see you again?

[impetuous]

We'll be having a game of croquet in the gardens so my wife can enjoy the red roses. [ DANGER DANGER ] The entire court will be there. Do you play?

[save_the_souls]

Croquet? [That's...like kinda like cricket right?]

Ah- I don't, actually. I'd certainly not be good enough for a royal game.

[impetuous]

[ yuff. pls. pls. ]

It matters not. The Queen always wins.

[ DO NOT EVER BEAT THE QUEEN D: ]

[save_the_souls]

[What not like he knows anything about sports! He had no friends to play with!]

Oh...I see. Nice to know that ahead of time.

[He gulps.]

[impetuous]

[ It's okay, Allen, the game is rigged. There are no real rules except let the queen win. ]

Then I shall expect you there!

[ He continues on his way. ]

[save_the_souls]

Ah- O-okay!

[Crap I am so dead, but he'll be heading off to try to find fellow residents that HAVEN'T gone insane]
