[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.)

[A booming voice poured out through the books. There was much yelling at people all around that didn't seem to be directed toward the book just yet.]

I don't care! Find her! Arrest this Alice I'll not have her running around spoiling my gardens and grounds.

[A somewhat sweeter voice now issued from the page.]

Dear citizens of Wonderland, this is your beloved Queen with a message of dire urgency. Somewhere...lurking somewhere in our fair land is a threat to our way of life! Do not be fooled by the child like visage of this villain, should you encounter this Alice call for the Cards immediately. I implore you not to try heroism, this despoiler of the peace, this vile challenge to the very existence of our Wonderlandian morals.

Arrest Alice, bring her to me, she will be dealt with.

[more screaming seemed to fade as she stalked off to find anther object to vent her ire upon.]

[As life in Wonderland continues, today brings two extra odd events:

First of all, on the beach, there is a group of beings running around in a circle. If you ask one of them what they're doing, they will tell you they are participating in the Caucus Race to get dry. If you happen to ask one of them when they'll be done, they will just look utterly baffled and then keep running.

Meanwhile, the Mad Tea Party continues. Rather long for a tea party, but Time isn't cooperating for it. There are plenty of seats around the table, and plenty of kettles of tea atop it.]

[for those residents questionably fortunate enough to be wandering about Wonderland - which, really, for all intents, possible should have been called Wanderland, for that is all they seem to be doing - you might round a bend in the forest and see a curl of green smoke.

don't worry, the forest is not on fire.

but if you are curious enough to follow it, you will find the smoke winds through the trees and into a grove of mushrooms! there is a very fancy decanter nearby, with the label "Drink Me" ... and on the ground, nearby to a clump of mushrooms: a tin of rice crackers and a small, fancy glass jar of wasabi. they're labeled "Eat Us", though the label is very small and likely not visible to the normal-sized eye.

on the mushrooms, however, is seated a large, blue caterpillar with a round and familiar face. he is humming contentedly to himself and occasionally taking puffs from an ornate hookah situated at the base of his mushroom-chair. well, that certainly explains the smoke.

his journal is propped up against another clump of mushrooms, and the caterpillar reaches out to turn the page with the wand of the hookah with an expression of vague disdain]

I do not suppose any of you know any fine verses...?

My, what a curious book this is! The words on these pages contain as much nonsense as the world I've found myself in!

I suppose it is best that I introduce myself. That is the proper thing to do, after all. My name is Alice, and I fell down a rabbit hole and wound up here!

At least it is far better than reading a book with no pictures.

[Alice can be found all over Wonderland; the twelve-year-old is quite curious to explore.]

It's another frabjous day in Wonderland! Everyone who entered the world yesterday is very much still there, and there seems to be more for them to explore today!

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.

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.]
