10 Lanterns; Dictated

[ftssusstgsetfwe]

Dearest March Hare and most tedious Dormouse, and anyone else who was going to come to the tea party at my home, I have found myself in the Queen's courtyard. I'm perfectly fine, but I'm afraid I'll have to postpone tea while I try to figure out this maddening maze. I'm very sorry about that!

I wonder if Time has gotten Space on his side to make life difficult for me... That would explain this, because I'm sure I wasn't here when I fell asleep last night. No, I was definitely home. Not here. They both start with the letter H, but beyond that, neither one is anything like the other.

You see, this doesn't even make a good riddle!

But I guess there's a silver lining here! I mean, if anyone wasn't planning on attending the tea party, now they have more time to think about why they should change their mind! I'd love for many people to come.

[.......... So it's one of those things.]

Glad I'm not the only one.

[ftssusstgsetfwe]

Lost in the Queen's courtyard as well, are you?

[gottaknockhard]

[He was thinking he wasn't the only one who has obviously gone insane but--]

Does it have a lot of painted roses?

[ftssusstgsetfwe]

Painted red, why yes! Scratch a bit off and they're white as snow... Rather more fetching that way, I think. Although I'd prefer something in brown.

[gottaknockhard]

That seems like a lot of effort. [Focusing on the important things.]

[ftssusstgsetfwe]

[That is not the fun way.] Well, it's worth putting in a lot of effort to avoid behind beheaded.

[gottaknockhard]

... Yeah, I guess it would.

[ftssusstgsetfwe]

The Queen is tragically enamored with beheadings.

[gottaknockhard]

[Well, that's good to know.]

How does she feel about trespassers?

[ftssusstgsetfwe]

It's hard to say, as we haven't had them before today!

[gottaknockhard]

['We've'... Okay.]

They really came out of nowhere.

[ftssusstgsetfwe]

Yes, and I for one find it exciting!

[gottaknockhard]

Got something planned?
