Wonderland: Final Day

[wonderlandian]

[When the time comes for Alice's trial, anyone who has come to watch will notice the cards guarding the area to the west start to stir. They seem quite alarmed about something... And in a moment, a short, ugly figure with a loud, shrieking voice makes their concerns clear.]

I am the Queen of Hearts!

[The woman glares about with her nostrils flaring. It's almost comic, really, but perhaps it's best not to laugh.]

I did not call for this trial! All of you! All of you shall lose your heads for this!

[She turns to the cards expectantly when they do not move instantly. It is a gaze that inspires fear in a number of them, and soon the guards are attacking. They aren't beheading anyone - the queen wants to watch that, after all - but they are willing to do whatever they must to capture the spectators and lock them away. Alice flees into the chaotic crowd.]

(ooc| Have at it, guys. This is the last part of the plot, and after a while, the Jabberwocky will be on the seen to make things even worse. Threads will go on until tomorrow - or, more accurately, until Crystal and I are both asleep - at which point characters will awaken with a start in their beds, back home.)

... crap.

[Because bright blue armor isn't exactly the sort of get up that lends itself to avoiding attention.]

Well, that escalated quickly.

[wonderlandian]

[A card makes to tackle him... That's gotta be an interesting thing to see.]

[originalcopy]

[Church may not be a great soldier, but he's at least better than a single playing card. It's not exactly a challenge to dodge the comically obvious attempt to tackle him.]

Watch it there fella... you could get yourself hurt.

[wonderlandian]

[The card stands up and sulks.]

I'm supposed to get yourself hurt.

[originalcopy]

[he shrugs]

Sorry dude, not going to happen. I've had my ass kicked by the best.

[wonderlandian]

Awww, well now the queen will take off my head!

[originalcopy]

Hey, better you than me.

[wonderlandian]

Says you!

[originalcopy]

Hey man, I've already died once. I really don't want to do a repeat performance.

[wonderlandian]

You don't look dead!

[originalcopy]

The wonders of modern technology.

[The guy has no clue what he just said does he... sigh]

I'm a ghost and I'm haunting this suit of armor.

[wonderlandian]

Haunting! Haunting! That's scary!

[originalcopy]

Boo mutherfucker!

[ooc: I've wanted to say that for so long!]

[wonderlandian]

(ooc| XD)

Beg your pardon?

[originalcopy]

Boo?

You know... what ghosts say when the haunt things...

BOOooooo

[wonderlandian]

I don't think I've ever known a ghost! Just heard stories of them!

[originalcopy]

Well, boo is totally a thing that ghosts do... it's a ghost thing.

Since I am a ghost I would know.

[He seems very insistent on this point.]

[wonderlandian]

I suppose this means I can't behead you...

[originalcopy]

That must be very disappointing.

[York would never let him live down getting his head chopped off. He was acting protective enough as it is.]

[wonderlandian]

It really is. It really, really is. Now I'll have my head chopped off.

[originalcopy]

Hey, look at the bright side. It can only happen once.

And maybe you'll find a nice suit of armor to haunt yourself.

[wonderlandian]

[The card brightens.]

You think so?

[originalcopy]

uh... sure.

A guy like you, how could you not.

[uhg... this is almost as bad as dealing with Caboose. Except less likely to end in his maiming.]
