Backdated to this morning (before things went all craaaaazy)

[adorbs]

Mm... [people who have found their way to the Heart Castle's grounds will find one little girl sitting on the ledge of a random fountain. She's swinging her feet so that her heels gently bump against the fountain wall before bouncing back up again. She felt weird all week, weird in a way that she couldn't really put her finger on. And this book that she discovered... It had always been in her room, but now it was talking! She had been contemplating it for a few days, wondering if it would stop talking eventually. But no, it just chatted on and on, tugging at something forgotten in the back of her mind.]

Hello? Is this a book where someone lives? You shouldn't be there, this is my book. [this is Wonderland after all, it wasn't so strange to imagine that people had moved into her book. It was kind of rood, but whatever she would deal. Honestly, normally she would throw more of a temper tantrum over something like this, but for some reason... Hm, she's just not really feeling it today.]

I can help you find another book to live in... so can you move out now?

[ooc: First of all, yes! This post was supposed to go up this morning but I messed up :') so pretend it's earlier in the day. Second, her hair is loooong! Like in this icon :3 Most of her icons still have her with the pigtails, so this is just a little reminder that her hair is actually long *^*]

[He was wandering around this crazy place in utter annoyance, he probably wasn't going to be able to take much more of it... but he'll be around the grounds today and spot that little girl. Geez, it really did drag children here too...]

Somehow I don't think they're gonna be leaving if that's the book I think it is.

[adorbs]

[hmmm? she tilts her head a bit and closes the book. Who's this guy? He must be one of the people that the King talked about]

Why not?

[solowingpixy]

[Pixy's been avoiding royalty as if they carried the plague, so let's hope the king talked nicely about them, eh?]

I don't suppose that book you have is like this? [He'll pull his own journal out of his flight jacket.]

It's a sort of communication device.

[adorbs]

It is! [hm. hmmmmm she'll look at him a little suspiciously]

...Why do you have one too?

[solowingpixy]

[He's totally used to suspicious looks, but this is the first time a little kid gave him one. He'll tuck his journal back into his jacket.]

Let's just say I came from a place that also uses them. [wow he really hates the idea of saying 'YEAH I TOTALLY CAME FROM A MAGIC CASTLE' but right now he doesn't have much choice. sob.]

[adorbs]

Huh... [that's... weird]

Did yours always talk?

[solowingpixy]

[You don't have to tell him that, Nanako. Pixy already thinks it's weird. And fifty shades of stupid.]

Since day one. [He'll almost look and sound a little annoyed about that.]

[adorbs]

I think mine is different. I've had it for a long time, but it never talked until now.

[solowingpixy]

[He was about to say 'that doesn't make any sense' but he stops himself, because NOTHING in this place makes any sense - Paradisa or Wonderland. But thinking about it, he's got a bit of a hunch.]

Don't tell me. It started talking just a few days ago.

[onlyanapple]

[Of all the people Crowley had expected to see here, Nanako would have been at the bottom of the list. He even stops for a moment, staring at her, before finding his voice]

...Nanko? That you?

[adorbs]

[that strange feeling that has been bothering her all week. It tugs at the edge of her brain as she hears this voice. That voice, the name that the voice says...]

Um, I'm the Dutchess. 'Cause my cousin is the Queen Of Hearts...

[onlyanapple]

[...Damnit, of course she's messed up like the rest of them]

...Except you're not. You don't know that yet, but you're not.

[He exhales something of a laugh though] It's good to see you again.

[adorbs]

Yet? So I'll know something later? [considering how weird her brain has felt lately, it's a comforting thing to hear. Even if it's from some voice in her book]

When did you see me before?

[onlyanapple]

[He'll smile and nod] You will, it'll come eventually.

Back in the castle. You have to think hard now, Paradisa.

[adorbs]

Paradisa...?

[mm, that name tugs at her memory in the same way that she can't quite pin] That name sounds kind of scary... but nice.

[onlyanapple]

That's a pretty good estimation of it.

[adorbs]

Is that where you're from? [if they 'met' there...]

:3c dict8ted

[wagers]

[Well, she sure does recognize that voice! Time to start trolling like a good troll!]

No! I will stay in this book 'til the end of your days! You can't get rid of me that easily!

*^*

[adorbs]

H-Hey! That's really rude. This is my book, you can't stay.

8=D

[wagers]

No, I am pretty sure this is my home now. My warm, snuggly home.

[adorbs]

Then, um... I-I'll put it somewhere really cold. Then it won't be comfortable.

[OH

OH

SICK BURN

YOU GOT TOLD VRISKA]

[wagers]

[WHOA NANAKO SASSJIMA]

Yeah-- These pages are like, my blankets? As long as I have all these pages, I think I'll be just fine!

[adorbs]

[YEAH YOU'RE GOING DOWN VRISKA ... ... ... LAMEKRIT]

What? [mmm, she starts flipping through the pages] That doesn't make sense, I don't see you...

[wagers]

You don't make sense! [She's hearing dem pages flip.] Ah! Hey! Stop that! I'm naked under here!

[adorbs]

Oh- [she stops flipping, feeling a bit bad... BUT WAIT A SECOND, WHY IS SHE FEELING BAD? alkdghalh what is this... her brain is all over the place today, she doesn't get it at all]

W-Well, then that's another reason why you should find another book. I'll be reading this one, so it won't be very safe.
