CHARACTERS

Alex

 

Name: Alex Collins

Age: Personality: Alex is a very curious type of person. He hates being ordered around and told what to do. He's a dreamer, who loves to do things his own way, and if he could stay a child forever, he probably would. He dislikes growing up and wishes fantastical sorts of things were real, dreaming about other worlds and universes out there - which a lot of people call him crazy for. He ignores them, because even if he knows they're not really and don't exist, the thought excites him.

Bio: Born in a rich upper-class family, Alex was always taught to do things the 'proper' way. He was made to be a elegant young man, but he always dislike getting dressed up and fancied, preferring to climb trees and swim in lakes. He enjoyed the free spirited life, feeling riches confines him, as did the clothes and standard they refined him to be held to. He doesn't hate his family, but simply wishes they were less controlling and let him be a kid, and simply enjoy himself, do things his own way.

 

Peter White

 

Peter White

Age: 28

Sexuality: Bisexual

Position: Seke (preferred uke)

Description: He's a very nice clean cut man, though at times he can be a buy of an air head. When he's set in something he won't let it go, at least not very easily. He never loses sight of what matters to him, though sometimes he can get a bit carried away. His obsession with Alice (Alex) is very Arbitrary, even he knows that, but he's chosen to embrace it. He wants the best for her (him), and he doesn't think anyone but himself can provide it. But when Explaining himself he says he just 'Learned to love unconditionally'. He's very much one to do that, he'd gladly give all and take nothing for someone he loved.

He takes a lot of things seriously, more so then he probably should, but he seems to mock his own nature by hardly ever following directions exactly the way they are given. He often ponders new routs, different things, and thus is usually very short on time to do anything- considering his own charades take up most of it. He tends to be weary of the Mafias place though, and tries to avoid it.

Dee & Dum

 

 

Morthan

Ace

 

Ace

19

Quite the anti-social person who speaks a lot with his sword, and is well-known for his violent nature.

It was a normal day, just as any other. Alex had gotten into the daily argument with his parents, and run off to the vast garden in the back of the large palace-like home. It really was a gorgeous mansion, showing off just how rich Alex and his family were. It was more so his mothers doing; the woman loved to flaunt her money, she was obsessed with it. Alex was positive his mother bathed herself in the green paper.

 

But just like every day, here Alex was, in the back of the garden hiding to himself. He was practically counting the sixty seconds that his older sister would follow out after him, as if exactly on cue, to check up on him, and make sure that he was alright. Probably about thirty seconds, she would show up now. Alex really did love his sister, Sarah. She was the only one he was really close with in the family, also his only sibling. But why wouldn't he be so close with her, when all he did with his parents was fight?

 

Every day, it was always the same. Why haven't you found a woman yet, Alex? When do you plan to marry? You should marry when your young, so you're handsomeness doesn't fade into gray hair and wrinkles - then you'll never find anyone. You're sister is already engaged now too, you know, you should follow and do the same. Are you going to give me grandchildren anytime soon?

 

Well, that last request and question was more so all on his mothers part - grand-kids this, grand-kids that, its all she ever wanted. But it was just the same every day. Despite him having told his parents he didn't seem to have an interest or care for woman. His parents seemed to specifically ignore the fact Alex had told them many times he was gay. His sister, though, was much more understanding. She accepted the fact a long time ago, never having a problem with it. And still, she fully loved Alex just the same.

 

Sighing heavily, Alex sat on the ground, leaning against a rose bush as he hugged his knees to his chest, frowning as he rested his chin on his knees, not staring at anything in particular. Until he heard a rusting in the bushes across from him. He blinked a bit, lifting his head "Sarah?" he called out, thinking it was his sister coming to comfort him. She was earlier than usual, though. And he got no response, frowning as he looked at the bushes curiously, as though they would speak to him.

[SweetFloatsFlats]

Peter wasn't entirely sure by he was up here, it was a puzzling thing as most things in his life were, but this was particularly puzzling. He wasn't sure where he was or how he got here, but he know his purpose here and knew the way out. So, deciding to follow his devine purpose instead of questioning it, he hopped out from the trees into the grand garden. He wasn't all the impressed, the flowers and shrubbery were much more elegant in his own queens garden. But... it had its own quaint charm.

 

He wandered around aimlessly, his own forum having shifted to one of a bunny- not very intimidating, very bad for fighting, but for missions like garden exploration he assumed this was the best- despite his suit making him stick out like a poor sore thumb here. He hopped stiffly, looking around for... God he couldn't remember their name- Alice? He has been told they'd be very beautiful, something about instant charm apon seeing them...

 

He thought that then at least, for when the first time he came to see her- him, actually, a boy named 'Alex' much to his disappointment. Not that it was a boy, he was disappointed he had gotten the name wrong. But apon first seeing them he felt an instantaneous admiration for them. The way he talked and walked and had seemingly intelligent arguments with a sister far older then himself. He, after servant visits, became completely submerged in his adornment of the boy. The first time he realized his own strong feelings, he had to cover his mouth to stop from laughing. Why, this felt like the beginnings of love.

 

And love it became, not that he could ever be with someone from that world. But every week he'd go, unsure how he got there or who sent him and wander around and in the bushes just to admire him. Was it creepy? Yes, but soon he found he actually dis have a purpose there- and it wasn't to find his true love. There was a game to be held, oh yes, but they were missing an important pawn. The foreigner. He was so giddy when he found out, the next day he went he hide in the bushes till the bright young boy ran out in a fuss.

 

He hesitated before hopping out gently, swinging his watch a bit. He was surprised to find him staring at him, but it was a pleasant surprise! "Alex, dear bit, welcome- oh and not a moment too soon!" He said, clamping his hands together after glancing at his exquisite watch. He figured her staring meant she had been expecting him. The look on her face now suggested otherwise....

[FatPanda]

Two little boys in front of the gate,

stood side by side during their wait.

Dee and Dum worked for the Hatter's house,

eying the grounds for even a mouse.

Boredom hit as the clock struck one

so they started to talk for a little more fun.

 

"Say, Dee, where is that stupid hare?"

"Oh dear Dum, he could only be where?"

"Do you think he's slacking again?"

"Well if he's not, he must be in a den!"

Dee retorted with a chuckle.

"I don't understand. Was that meant to be funny?"

He asked with a frown.

"Yes it is silly. I'm making fun of the bunny."

The older brother proceeded to explain his joke.

"A rabbit or hare - or whatever he claims to be - would only be in a den if he was killed and captured, most likely by a fox. I'm making fun of the bunny because I'm saying he's either slacking or he's - "

"Deeee!"

Dum wailed with a glint in his eye. He didn't like it when Dee didn't rhyme. Sure the explanation was helpful when he didn't understand but it didn't matter as much to him as rhyming did. He rarely ever ended the rhyme because he wasn't as smart as Dee so it was important that his brother be the one to rhyme.

Always giving in to his brother's pleas, Dee put the words in rhymes.

"That stupid hare in the den of a fox

can only mean he'll go into its lunch box."

He cared for his brother more than anyone or anything. If his brother wanted him to rhyme then he'd do his best to make every sentence a nursery rhyme.

"Oh, I see. That is quite funny!

I hope he really is a dead bunny!"

"Oh that's great! You just got yourself a rhyme!"

"Really?! I did?! You should be p-proud - "

Dum paused after a stutter. He was at a loss for the next rhyme.

"Try 'That's the first time!' and shout it out loud."

"Why out loud? Is there anyone to hear?"

"Of course the dumb rabbit! If he's around here!

 

Laughing together at their rhymed jokes,

they heard a rustling near one of the old oaks.

Silencing themselves, they prepared their guns

ready to shoot at just about anyone.

Aiming for a spot next to the interference,

they pulled the trigger at the sudden appearance.

[Nyuchanxx]

Elliott could hear the gatekeepers annoying rhyming. He glared in their direction as he approached the gate, he was in a bad mood anyway since Blood had made him go to negotiations by himself, he didn't even like having to speak to that damn Mary, the guy never actually gave them land but just liked to taught it in front of their faces. But as if his day want bad enough he now had the gatekeepers to deal with on top of that, those stupid twins always calling him a rabbit!

 

He pushed his way out of the trees only to be greated by a stray bullet, he dodged it quickly and glowered at the two drawing his own gun. "I am not a rabbit and you two couldn't even hit a stray rabbit with your pathetic aiming so stop slacking of!" He growled his voice scarily low and dangerous. He turned on his heel and to prove a point within the space of a few seconds hit two birds in the sky and picked them up as they landed by his feet. "I hope you're hungry." He said with a glare but nevertheless he sat down near the gate and began plucking the birds, he was even more loathed to go in than he was to stay outside and talk to these idiots after all he doubted Blood had suddenly got in any better off a mood.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Ceshi yawned lazily as he closed his eyes while laying on a thick branch. Rhymes... He didn't like them at all. The young male rolled over to his stomach, all of his limbs hangin down while his tail slowly swooshed from one side to another. Those gatekeepers could be fun at times, but mostly they were annoying... And dumb. He liked teasing them with riddles sometimes! One of the brothers he knew was a bit smarter... Though his riddles weren't that easy to crack.

 

"Please be careful when you're with guns..." He slowly purred out as he opened one eye. He was right above the gatekeepers' heads, staring down at them with a small huff. "And you should be in a better mood, Elli~" The cheshire cat was trying to find a nickname that would really piss of Elliot. He didn't know what to say to him to actually make him angry, but maybe a girly nickname would work? "While you're here, why don't we have ask some riddles? Look, I'll start with a really simple one~ Pretty sure you two will like it." Cheshi said with a roll of his eyes as he stretched out on the branch.

 

"What is the same size as you but doesn't weight anything?" He asked- no, more like purred out the first riddle. It was still a good way of passing time... Seeing people try and figure out the answer was really fun...

[UndertheWeather]

One.

 

Heavy boots landed hard on the soft ground, leaving behind a distinct set of footprints. The man laboured to take in more air into his tired lungs as he made his way, as fast as he could, through the forest, amongst dark trees, and thorny bushes with bright red berries. Sunlight filtered through the web of leaves, casting gleams of light around the scared man. His legs began to hurt as lactic acid continued to build up in his muscles from the lack of oxygen. He turned around to check for his chaser, and seeing no sign of the dreaded man, his eyes wildly searched the vicinity for a hiding place. His head tilted upwards, and all at once decided, without further thoughts, to toil up the tree.

 

Two.

 

A tall figure, dressed in red, stood motionless, calmly counting in his mind. In his left hand, a clean sword sat silently, awaiting its part in the show. The hood of his jacket was pulled over his head, obstructing any visions of his eyes, yet from behind his blonde fringe and the red fabric of his hood, his bright blue eyes were watching closely every movement of his prey.

 

Three.

 

The pale, pink lips stretched into a smirk as the last number fell into place.

 

Up and up and up the man went, his eyes wide, pupils constricted. On the first branch that would support his weight, he pulled himself up onto it only to find a figure stretched out on his stomach with his limbs flopping down the side of it, and a fury tail swooshing from side to side. In his fearful run, he had apparently not heard the voices, nor the sound of the gunshot. He gulped. The muscles in his throat slowly constricted around his windpipe as he laboured to let saliva roll down his dried throat.

 

It was only seconds from his minuscule effort in considering the friend-or-foe status of this cat when he found himself feeling the touch of a cold blade on his neck, ripping away the layers of skin and muscles. Blood gushed out from the man's neck like a red fountain, and the body tumbled down from the height of the tree.

 

Supporting himself with his right hand around the trunk and foot on the branch, Ace watched the bloodied body fell off the tree with a loud thud, and laid lifelessly amongst the grass. His bright blue eyes, glowing in satisfaction, averted towards the cat and then the twins and the hare.

 

Blood flowed down the length of the shining blade and silently dripped down its tip. It was as if the sword was alive, and its hunger satisfied by the kill. Even though swords were not the most efficient weapon, it was to Ace the best weapon for the experience of a kill - the close contact, the feel of the body shrivelling away under his blade, the personal touch. Guns, of course he had, but rarely would he opt for them.

[ChibiMonkey]

Alex was frustrated as he sat outside, sulking to himself. He hardly spared a glance back in the direction of his house, that he could no longer see, as he was surrounded by rose bushes and flowers where he sat on the ground. He sulked to himself, not even feeling like talking to his sister right now. He was starting to really get fed up with his parents - his mother most especially. She was nagging him more often than usual lately, and honestly, Alex thought he was going to go mad.

 

He really did wish he could just escape from this world. Go somewhere fantastical, magical and wonderful. Somewhere - anywhere, other than here. He was sick of his parents, of his family, and though he loved his sister, he was sick of being compared to her. He wanted to get out, leave. He often considered running away. But he doubted he could survive on his own in the real world. That's why Alex was always off in his own world of imagination. Either reading books that would take him away, or imagining up his own fantasies and ideas.

 

He imagined a far off place where he was happy, and enjoyed himself. Somewhere people liked him for who he was, and didn't believe he needed to change. Where he was treated normally. But the place itself was far from normal. There were half animal half human creatures. Flowers that sung as beautiful as they were. Of talking rabbits and cats, and adventures with a man in a funny hat. He dreamed of all these things, of all these people. He was aware it was his imagination and make believe - but it was his own true wonderland.

 

Alex was brought out of his thoughts though, when he heard a rustling in the bushes. He frowned, considering maybe it was his sister. But soon enough, a talking rabbit popped out. He blinked, staring at the creature - a talking rabbit? Was he imagining things? It surely wouldn't be the first time. He tilted his head as he looked at the rabbit "Uhm...excuse me?" he inquired "Not a moment too soon? Too soon for what, may I ask?" he asked reaching forward and petting the talking rabbit and tugging at his ears lightly, as if to try and see if it was real "How do you know my name? And who are you?" he finally asked the more important questions of the situation.

[SweetFloatsFlats]

He was more then gracious that the boy would finally acknowledge his existence, but was also a tiny bit disappointed. All his manners seemed suddenly to have been vain and now when he thought no one was looking he rudely tried to talk while he was talking. Normally he would be very upset and would give a lecture on how to properly have a conversation- or, maybe, just simply shoot the twat who decided to interrupt. But When Alex did it, it was almost funny. Everything about him was charming, even his flaws. Peter couldn't help but smile a tiny bit more.

 

However, his mood shifted once again to an annoyed one when the boy felt it would be good to pull on his ears. Oh, that was just uncalled for! His face would've been red if he were in human forum. Partially because of the rudeness, but also deep down, which he wouldn't even admit to himself, he almost was longing to be touched by him. This was not really what he had in mind, pats and tugs on the ear would've been better replaced with cuddling in his opinion. 'Oh well, pickers can't be choosers'.

 

"Ah- young man have you gotten no manners! You do not just pull on a man's ears that's just out right disrespect!" He commented pulling back and rubbing his ears a bit. "You could've seriously hurt me. Now, Uh, I'm Peter White. The Duke of the kingdom of hearts. And you-" He started but it drifted off in a silence while he moved closer, crouched down a bit before Poof~ there was a bit of smoke and hands gently grasped at the boy's. He grinned as the smoke cleared revealing a person very human and very little rabbit, except for his poofy ears. "You my dear!" He started up again, pulling Alex to his feet. "You shall be the guest of the queen herself! Oh yes, it will be so exciting!" He said, resisting the urge to just hug her. It was so exciting!

[Teesie]

Blood was observing his servants, slightly shaking his head at their acting. The gatekeepers always seemed to lack during their jon. And always shoot without watching to see what they were trying to kill. Pushing away from his place on the wall, the man gave a sneer. "You two need to settle down and stop with the foolery. Has anything interesting happened lately? I haven't been keeping up with much lately." Watching the other as he continued to pluck a bird.

 

"Hm, how was the negotiation?" The man asked, truly curious of what could have happened since he didn't attend the small meeting. With a sigh, Blood glanced off into the distance. Things got pretty boring at his estate. He just wished there was something that would excite him. Something that could keep his attention. Something that could make him forget about the strange things that happened here. "I guess that's just hopeful wishing." He spoke to himself in a whisper.

 

[FatPanda]

Out came a hare with his long ears,

hopping to a side, avoiding a shot and the sneers.

Snarl went that one as bullets soared through the sky.

Purr went another with a riddle for wise guys.

A body fell down and revealed a broken clock.

The twins wondered whether to laugh or to just gawk.

 

"You stupid hare, sneaking through a bush!"

"Be thankful we didn't decapitate you and your tush!"

"We could have done it were we serious."

"We just didn't because we were curious."

"We wanted to confirm why you'd gone out."

"You're the one slacking off! What are you nagging about?"

 

Dee and Dum were furious at the insult. Of course they could hit a stray rabbit were they to really try. They loved to shoot their guns when they were permitted to. Sometimes though, they didn't wait for the permission. That was when they were angry beyond reason. Dum, who loved guns, seemed to lose that faster - not to mention he wasn't as level headed either. He loaded his gun and pointed it at Elliot, ready to shoot if Dee hadn't stopped him. "Deeee, what are you doing? He's a stupid rabbit, we don't need him to help guard. Can't we just eliminate him and be the only guards?" He pouted at his brother to let him shoot the one plucking feathers. Dum didn't like Elliot more than Dee disliked the hare.

 

"That's up to Blood to decide. We can't just kill the hare; he has a role to play. Let's just calm down so I can actually rhyme with your lines." Putting his own gun away, Dee held his breath as he waited for his brother to calm. If possible, he didn't want to fight. Not when Blood was around; that wouldn't be a good sight. When the older one looked to Blood for an answer, the younger let out a long huff. Turning to the cat, he answered curtly, "Is it a shadow? Or do you prefer reflections?" He smirked up at the lazy one, confident in his answer. Dee didn't enjoy riddles because Dum didn't particularly like them but he answered nonetheless to see how he fared in wit.

 

Pouting at Blood now, Dum tried to plead with the man but quickly lost interest in killing the hare. "Sir, nothing has happened. End of report. We weren't fooling around, that was only the bunny." Though someone just died in front of their eyes, the twins thought nothing of the clock on the ground. It was normal for them to see a dead man or two, nothing special to report about. Dum didn't realize that there had to be a killer for there to be a body but the thought at least crossed Dee's mind. Yet he didn't care as long as it didn't hurt Dum. Only when it hurt his brother could the younger not leave it alone.

 

A grumbled rang as the twins became hungry. The sight of a bird becoming meat sparked their desires to have food in their bellies. Dee and Dum began to bicker at Elliot to let them have some too.

 

"I'm hungry you dumb rabbit. Give me some food!"

"We want it now or we'll have you stewed."

 

Making loud noises as they shouted at the hare,

the twins didn't notice the killer nor did they care.

All they wanted was to eat the bird

whether it was whole or even just a third.

Impatient boys, they ran around the tree

pulling on the tail of a certain kitty.

[Nyuchanxx]

Elliott ignored everything that was going on around him having no interest in it although he found it difficult to contain his anger every time the twins called him a rabbit, how many times did he have to say it? He was a hare, there was a big difference, and then there was that cat, of purple were going to call him his first name he didn't want it abbreviated into a girls name. "Do i look like a female rabbit you unobservant idiots?!" He asked glaring at the lot of them. "Okay then, if you can solve this you may call me elli: what can you keep after giving to someone else?" He asked with a grin assuming the cat wouldn't get it.

 

He suddenly saw Blood approaching. Standing respectfully he gushed his words stumbling over then for something to say "fine... Well... No... Actually.. It was..fine... Normal... Of course...." He stopped; trying to calm himself in front of this man even if it was practically impossible. Taking a breath he organised his thoughts before saying "the same as ever, Mary refuses to give us land and instead dangles it in front of our noses, nothing new." He said softly embarrassed at his major trip in both words and negotiation success.

 

He honestly knew would do anything for this man, he didn't care how much it took from himself for without this man he wouldn't have his life now. He lowered his gaze not looking in Blood's eyes assuming his failure would be cause enough to spark the Mafia's rage and while he didn't care for the others around him or how they fared during Blood's anger, he didn't want the other to get angry at him. He just wanted to give everything to him without acceptation as long as Blood would praise him just a little.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Ceshi simply yawned when the dead body fell down onto the ground. Nothing interesting. Not even the easiest riddle... The cat turned his lazy gaze to one of the guardians instead. A lazy smirk appeared on his face as he nodded, lightly swaying hiss tail from side to side. “Coo~rect~“ He purred out slowly before blinking at the riddle he received himself. “Could it be surname? Or maybe one's word? Perhaps even love? Or... Could it be it's all in one?“ The cheshire asked with a grin. There were many answers to this riddle... Seemed like everyone had their own opinion about it.

 

“Elli, Elli, you should know better than to give me a riddle!“ Morthan laughed before looking at Blood. Even he gave him a light bow with his head. “Elli, you do look like a girl. And a boy. Who cares about gender? Right now I feel more like a female. So what?“ He spoke lazily, or should it be said she? Cheshi honestly didn't care how people called him until it wasn't Morthan. How did his mother even think of such a horrible name? It was the worst idea for sure.

[Keru-chan]

 

《《 Julius Monrey 》》

The mortician of Wonderland.

Workaholic, anti-social and protective. Julius Monrey is rarely seen outside his beloved Clock Tower Plaza and seems to dislike amusement parks, crowds and Blood Dupre. He has also has shown a great despise against violence and any kind of weapons. But for the sake of the ones he treasure he would not hesitate to risk himself or kill anyone.

 

 

Tick. Tack. Tick. Tack. That was the only sound that broke the otherwise compact silence. Outside the majestic clock tower the rest of the Wonderland spread itself out. Dangerous, ridiculous and beautiful Wonderland. Here though, inside his beloved clock tower plaza he could with confidence state he was safe. Because it was a neutral district. And 'he' was Julius Monrey, the one in charge of the district. Also known as Wonderland's Mortician.

 

A deep sigh slipped past his pale lips, egyptian blue eyes closely observing the inside of his current work, slender pale hands that reached for his tools, long hair that matches his eyecolour gathered and tied with a yellow ribbon and strands of it that hanged down over his shoulders and face. He wore a elegant costume that had the colours black, blue and yellow. His face expression was calm as he closed the clock in front of him and then deemed it finished before putting it aside and leaning back onto the chair to rest. It had been a long day and night. And all the time he had been fighting with this unsettling feeling of that something was about to change. Wether it had with the citizens of Wonderland to do though, that he didn't know. Maybe thay jerk Dupre had finally decided to calm down a bit so it could once more be alright to go outside without having to carry a weapon with you. Well, he doubted that it was because of this that he felt so 'distracted'. Peace? Only the word was probably unknown for that Maffia boss.

 

The young male suddenly stood up and walked over to the doors leading to the balcony. Softly he gripped the handle and then opened them to be met by a warm breeze. It swept by him and further into his room as he proceeded with walking up to the marble fence and placed his hands on it to look out over the landscape. It wouldn't be too long until the sun would leave its position on the sky.

[ChibiMonkey]

Alex smiled a bit as he tugged and pet at the rabbit ears. He smiled a bit "What an interesting rabbit. How odd are you, to talk and dress up in clothes?" he inquired, smiling curiously, admiring the rabbit and its ability to talk. Was he perhaps dreaming right now? It certainly felt like a dream, how else would it be that a rabbit is able to talk, and would dress up so formally and well? He smiled a bit, fixated on figuring the rabbit out, before suddenly the creature pulled back, going on about how rude he was. He blinked a bit "Oh, I'm sorry" he stated as he shifted so he was kneeling before the rabbit, sitting back on his heels as he stared at him "I didn't intent to hurt you, its just so...curious..." he mumbled to himself, tilting his head as he gazed at the odd creature.

 

He smiled more so as the rabbit went on to introduce himself. So he had a name? How very much interesting indeed. He remained silent, letting the creature go on about talking, enjoying listening to the funny little thing. But then, all of a sudden there was smoke and he blinked a bit. As it cleared, it revealed a very human looking figure instead of the rabbit. But he knew it was the rabbit, because he had the ears and bushy tail, as well as the same clothes. "W-wha...?" he trailed off, eyes wide "How did you just...?" he inquired, but he was already being pulled to his feet, the Rabbit - now known as Peter White, talking about something of a queen and being a guest. "me, for the queen? What queen?" he inquired as he tilted his head, only that much more confused. He wasn't overly awed by it though, acting as though it was kind of normal for a person to have animal attributes to them. "So then, this queen, how am I to be her guest? I don't understand any of this...." he spoke, more so talking to himself now as he was thoroughly confused. What exactly was going on? All of this, a queen, a rabbit, a rabbit turning into a human. Where did he come from anyways? And as he felt the rabbit tugging on his hands leading him somewhere, he couldn't help but wonder where.

 

Until they come upon a large hole "W-what is this??" he gasped, taking a step back "This was never here before. How?" he inquired, trying to peer his head into the hole. But he didn't like where this was going, and this rabbit - er, human, was becoming all too more suspicious by the second. What kind of smart idea was it to jump into an unknown hole in the ground? He kneeled in front of it on his hands and knees, trying to peer in and see, but, it was completely, and fully, pitch black; an abyss of a hole. How very suspicious indeed! He wouldn't dare go into that of his own free will.

[SweetFloatsFlats]

[[i apologize for shortness, I just didn't want to keep anyone waiting u-u and my dad needed his computer]]

 

Peter laughed and went on talking trying to answer her- his- whatever, he answered the questions as he dragged them around the hedge to a hole- a mysterious one indeed that only showed up at in inexplicably perfect moment. "Yes, the queen. She's such a wonderful woman... to bad she has no taste for having her- pets? Yes, pets double as lovers, but somehow being a government official is better." He paused before pressing a gloved finger to his lip, smiling a tiny bit. "Oh, do ignore me; you have no way to know what I'm talking about." He said while the other became less interested in him and more interested in the obviously more dubious thing. He smiled and leaned over a bit himself.

 

"Don't ask me, I have no idea where this thing comes from... just like plenty of things: The sun in the sky, the moon and such too... love.... It's a grand magical thing that can only be questioned and questioned. And you know while sometimes the question is more important than the answer," he nudged his foot gently under Alex. "It's is very critical that you question this, and take a closer look." He said, before lifting his foot up and pushing him in. He smiled before jumping in after him. Ignoring his screaming and such and made himself pressed together like a bullet so he'd land first. He'd done this so many times he almost forgot to catch Alex after he landed. "Woo, that was a close one!" He said, cradling the boy in his arms for a moment before he had to let him go or be kicked in the face.

 

He smiled at his concern and started digging through his pockets. "Ah, welcome to wonderland my dear!" he said as cheerily as possible, before pulling out a small vile, wiggling it in his hands. It was just a clear vile with a crystal, heart shaped stopper that seemed to be the fainest of pink colours. The liquid inside was a neon pink colour and appeared to have the thickness of blood but didn't stain the sides of the vile. "Now, please, I will address all your questions but first you must drink this." He said, putting a hand on his shoulder and holding the vile in front of his face.

[Teesie]

Surroundings were loud, possible because of all those around him talking. Blood's orbs singled in on the clock that laid smashed against the floor. Yet another life was lost. Well...person. It wasn't as if the person wouldn't be replaced just like all the rest in the world. All those without a role was never too important to the rest, but it all mattered to the ruler of the estate. What was anyone's rights to say one's life didn't have meaning. No matter how use to the world, Blood would never truly like how things operated around.

 

Vision darting up to the hare, the man sighed, lowering his head until the hat shadowed over his face. He shouldn't have expected more than usual. It was just always a let down that nothing worked with Mary. Nothing. "I guess I shouldn't have had my hopes so high. The same damn conclusion!" Blood yelled, growling lowly. Nothing ever went as planned. Ever.

 

Stepping away from the rest, Blood stared out into the surroundings. Chills ran down his spine, the man glancing every which way. There was a feeling he couldn't shake. Definitely something wasn't right. Silence was surrounding him, the man seeming to block out the rest surrounding him. Why was he having mixed feelings?

 

Noise came full force, having the man squinch his eyes, brows furrowing. Have the gatekeepers never heard of being reasonable? "Dee, Dum....you two...stay on the look out. It won't be much of a reason to keep you two around if you slack. Elliot, good job. Hurry and feed those two so they could get back to work." Giving the cat a brief glance before turning to return to his home.

[Nyuchanxx]

Elliott was surprised that the cat has actually managed to get so many answers he was rather counting on being able to change his answer depending on what the Cheshire cat said but that was obviously more that he could hope for. He guessed he would just be known as elli from now on much to his distain.

 

He let Blood get on with his rant having already anticipated it although he still felt dreadful for now being useful to this man he owed his life to, of only he could actually do something for him he would feel better but it was not to be so he just started silent and followed his orders heading towards the kitchen to make dinner for the two gatekeepers and himself. He wondered if blood would want anything and decided he would make something nice for his boss even if the irritable man didn't eat it.

[FatPanda]

The taunting cat grinned as one's answer was right.

He returned his own smile, teeth clean and white.

The other one growled as the Hatter took the hare's side,

wounding his stubborn and competitive gatekeeper's pride.

An angry hare left as the sun start to set,

declaring the day was over before anything had happened yet.

 

"Aww but sir, we've been working really hard."

"Nightfall has come, must we still be on guard?"

"Nothing interesting is going to happen anyway."

"All we get to do is watch each other decay!"

"There's nothing to shoot out here, no even the stupid hare."

"We'll work harder tomorrow please, I swear!"

 

Dee and Dum whined at Blood Dupre's back, hoping they could get out of their duties through the night. They'd rather not work when they could go and play. They only got to play when they weren't on duty. But Blood wanted them to work even though they were bored, so here they were still guarding a gate no one dared come by. Their shouts at the disappearing back were pleas in vain because it was quite evident they were going nowhere tonight. With a long sigh, the two slumped down to sit on the floor. Their guns lay at rest beside them in hopes of shooting something passing by.

 

Upset that everyone but the cat had left, Dee and Dum looked at each other. A smirk appeared on the older one's lips, followed by one on the younger's. They had an idea to keep themselves entertained. They picked up their guns, both aiming for one thing. "Something passing by" had already come and stayed. They just needed it to leave for it to have truly passed by. A shot was made at the cat in the tree, aiming for the tail so to not hit their prey so early. They didn't want him dead, just to move from his spot as they tried to shoot him down. A few injuries here and there wouldn't kill the little kitty.

 

They shot for a while before they lost interest again. The brothers needed something else to keep them busy: something that was otherworldly. Believing nothing of that sort would ever happen, they went back to slumping in front of the gates. That, as well, was short-lived again before Dum complained, "How long is that bunny going to take?"

 

"I don't know Dum; hopefully before the sun rises again and we get baked."

 

A stomach growled, followed by another.

Dum looked hungrily at his little brother.

With a nod to each other, the two made a plan

to sneak away and visit the clock tower man.

Up to no good, the twins decided to hunt

for their own meal though it was more of a stunt.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Ceshi stared at the scene in front of him with a lazy expression on his face. His pose hadn't changed at all, even with all of this happening. He merely tilted his head at the short glance he received from Blood, to which he offered a lazy smirk. The cat then closed his eyes, enjoying the very last rays of sun on his body, but... Someone shot at him.

 

With a surprised noise coming from his mouth, Ceshi hissed at the two guardians before simply disappearing. Only a pair of eyes, staring at the two from behind the leaves could be seen at times. The boy wasn't too pleased with someone trying to shoot at him... That wasn't nice at all. With a quiet sigh leaving his small mouth, the cat landed on ground and stretched - yes, exactly like a cat would do.

 

Perhaps it was time for him to leave as well.

 

Ceshi felt as if there was something interesting about to happen, which was quite surprising. As he wandered through the lands, his eyes fell upon a certain rabbit and someone new... Someone interesting. But, ah! It's time to eat. With a grin on his face, he began walking up to Peter and the new guy. "Peter, Peter!" He called out over-happily as he grinned. "Can I have a bite~?"

[Keru-chan]

Unpleasant chills ran down his spine as he returned to his office to once again sink down in the comfortable chair behind the desk with a light sigh. And as he glanced over at the empty tea cup beside the line of fixed clocks he was reminded that he was expecting a visit from Shin later on. That is if he actually finds the clock tower again. His sense of direction was honestly, terrible. That man though is almost the only one he ever sees and the only one he could consider to be a 'friend' if someone asked. But no one had asked about it since they probably didn't even know that Shin was in fact, working for him.

 

Julius stood up, straightened out his clothes and then grabbed the teacup before walking out of the room. He went to the kitchen to brew some more tea and as he then returned to his office with a full cup he took up the book he was currently reading and then sat down, ready to relax even if it were just for a few minutes.

[KazegawaRen]

It was getting darker second by second, minute by minute. Faint footsteps in the otherwise silent forest were slowly but surely giving a warning of this dangerous presence to all the living things around him. No-one dared to move closer, not even the trees. Few branches were crushed under his heavy feet, crying in horror without a voice, but the forest didn't even flinch. It wasn't afraid of anything, not even his dark aura. This forest had seen and heard horrors which no-one even dared to speak of. Horrifying things indeed.

 

Drops of blood were falling down from the tip of his sword and left behind as a mark of him passing through. The sweaty yet so beautiful muscles of his were slightly tensed, giving out that he had been fighting just a few minutes ago. His clothes were all torn and stained with crimson coloured spots, the same colour as his eyes. He looked like a psychopath murderer who had popped to this forest from a horror-movie. The completely emotionless and stoic expression didn't really get him to a better light. It just made him look scarier, like a killer doll with extraordinarily real movements and looks.

 

Suddenly there was an opening ahead, and the emotionless killer stepped to broad daylight. He pulled the hood down from his head and raised his face to properly see the Clock Tower. His reddish black hair shimmered in the very few last rays of sunlight, and he looked almost normal. Just almost. His clothes hadn't changed and neither had his expression. He was just slightly less scary without the hood (which shadowed his face creepily) on.

 

"Finally here.." Shin thought and then let out a quiet sigh which sounded more like a growl. He really looked and sounded like a person who had been wandering for one day, 2 hours and 17 seconds in those woods. It had really been a pain in the ass, or would have been if he hadn't gotten used to it already. This was about the average time it took him to get from the Heart Castle to the Clock Tower.

 

He walked into the tower through the doors, just like you enter your own home. Without hesitation, knocking or really even thinking. It was natural for him to act like this here, but only here. He proceeded further to the `house´, heading straight to the Clockmaker's office, again not knocking. This was somewhat a place which you could call special to Shin. Also the resident of this tower was someone special to him, even though no-one could really tell it since their relationship wasn't probably noticed by anyone else than the two of them alone. The Clockmaker was the only person he didn't feel like killing and whom he never provoked. Julius was the only person who could be probably considered as his friend, or something even close to a friend.

 

When he saw the Clockmaker reading book in there peacefully, his facial expression took a full turn to the opposite. The emotionless face was ran over by a wide smile which reached all the way over to his eyes. It didn't really seem like a warm smile, more like a pseudo one, but that was everything you could get from him. He didn't really know the meaning of emotions, or how to interpret them, but he was really good at faking a smile.

 

The impression of Shin changed immediately from a murderer to a completely harmless guy, after the smile spread to his lips. Or at least that's what it seemed like. Shin was like a totally different person now. Though right now the sight of him smiling together with bloody and torn clothes looked so creepy that someone, who didn't know him as well as Julius did, would have freaked out.

 

"I brought you something." He spoke, swaying a fabric pouch which clattered promisingly in his right hand. The other hand was busy wiping all the dust and desiccated blood from his clothes to the floor of the Clockmaker's office.

 

"I got a good amount of them today, and even declined the Queen's offer of letting me relax in the upper part of the castle. It wasn't really a knight-like thing to refuse a woman's offer like that, but I did it since you asked for my assistance." He spoke as he proceeded further to the room, until he was only a few steps away from the Clockmaker. He threw the pouch to the table in front of Julius and moved to sit on a bench opposite of Julius. He then looked down to his teared up clothes. Blood of countless people was spilled on it, and he himself had to admit that he looked horrible. "Guess I have to go and change..."

 

Shin sighed, turned his attention back to the Clockmaker and orated : "I got a good catch of them this time, so lots of work for you, Julius." Then he just focused on relaxing. (Completely a change of moods compared to before, when he had been yet to put his food to the office.)

 

Shin wasn't keen on leaving the room right away, which he usually did with other people (if he did not kill them) if he just could. The Clockmaker was the only person he liked after all. In his opinion, all the other people could just go to hell, and that was the way he wanted it to stay. The poor Shin just had no clue at all, that there were other people in this world who could capture his interest too.

 

 

Character:

 

 

 

 

Name:

Shinichirou Hāto

 

Nickname:

Shin

 

Age:

19

 

Personality:

His mind is a pure mystery to everyone. At first he might walk just normally by your side, and the next moment he might point his sword at you. He usually has an artificial smile on his face, even when he's saying that he hates someone. Sometimes he might have no expression at all. You can't tell if he's on a bad or on a good mood by his face or posture. Only two things you can be sure of when it comes to his personality: 1. He is a dyed-in-the-wool knight and acts like one 2. He honestly likes no-one except for Julius.

In short: On the outside he's bright and kind as a knight should be, but on the inside he has a very dark aura.

 

Other:

 

Shin has a notoriously bad sense of direction. Actually so bad that if you tell him to turn right, he'll probably turn left.

 

He fights usually with one sword, but if he's in a bad situation he might have to use two swords instead of just one.

 

He'll never ask help from anyone in a fight, because it's not knight-like.

 

Someone once said that he's known to have a bipolar mental disorder.

 

 

[ChibiMonkey]

Alex's head was spinning and trying to grasp all this new and unfamiliar information entering his head. None of it was making any sense at all. How very odd. Just what was this human - er, rabbit....humabbit? Talking about? Now that got him onto thinking of just what exactly Peter White was. A rabbit that was part human? Or a human that was part rabbit? Alex seemed to be questioning all of the most unimportant questions. He was wondering what things were - not why they were here, when they were so obviously so far far from reality they couldn't be real, but only a dream.

 

He lifted his head from looking into the hole "What? Mr. Rabbit, You make no sense at all" he said with a confused frown as he looked at him, trying to understand "How very confusing" he mumbled to himself as he looked back into the hole. But before he knew it, he felt a foot beneath his bum and pushing him forward into the hole. He gasped out, eyes widening as his arms flailed about, trying to stop himself from falling forward "h-hey wait!!" he screamed out as he completely fell off from the edge and was free falling through the hole. It was glowing once inside, with different rainbow colored lights and odd objects around him, things that wouldn't be in a hole, for one. Such as lamps, mirrors - beds and chairs, even! This was absolutely ridiculous.

 

And poor Alex had been screaming almost the whole time. But after a few minutes of still falling, he realized that - he was still falling, after two minutes. It was then he noticed all the odd things floating about around him in the hole, staying in place as he continued to fall further and further. Eventually, he could finally see the ground beneath him emersing from the dark opening at the end. As the ground grew closer and closer, he realized he wasn't slowing down, and he screamed out again in fear, flailing about to try and stop himself from plummeting to his death at the ground.

 

He had ended up shutting his eyes in fear once he reached so close to the ground. But when he fell into soft and secure arms, he was stiff as a rock in fear. Hearing Peters voice, he slowly opening his eyes, blinking, before they widened and he squirmed "let go of me, you crazy rabbit!" he huffed, landing on his feet when the other let go of him and he quickly distanced himself, glaring at the other "Are you mad? What the hell was that? And - " he started about to ask where the were, when the other already introduced it to him. He blinked "Wonder...land...?" he inquired as he looked around the open air and sky around them. When the other mention drinking something, he looked back to him with a frown "Of course not! I have no idea what that is, and I doubt you're going to tell me" he frowned. He opened his mouth against to protest, before the other had ended up forcing the liquid into his mouth and down his throat; by a kiss. He gasped out, eyes wide as he coughed, stepping away from the other "You really are mad! Just what was that, anyways?!" he demanded, before he heard another unfamiliar voice.

 

He thought it might be someone normal, human - sane, perhaps. But then he noticed this person as animal characteristics as well. But, feline ones. Was no one in this land human?? He just stared at the new male, curiously and confused. Just where was he? Where was 'wonderland'?

[Teesie]

Blood sighed as he closed the door behind him, shaking his head from the repeating pleading voices of his gatekeepers ringing through his head. Those two and their silly shenanigans. At the sound of a shot, the man rolled his eyes once again before shaking his head once again. There they were once again. Shooting and not paying attention to anything around them.

 

With a step forward, he stopped and glanced to the clock. It was already so late into the day. It only seemed as if he had woken mere minutes ago. Blood couldn't say he was upset with how the refusal of Mary was once again. It was always the same. Maybe there needed to be more of an award if the other was to let him have the land. He wondered would Dee and Dum be a nice add. A chuckle left his lips. It was a joke. He wouldn't let those two in the hands of Mary.

 

The lands of his estate could get so boring without someone to accompany him. That was why Blood longed to see someone special to him. His sibling.

 

[FatPanda]

A crazy plan in mind, the duo ran forward

To both find food and disobey orders.

One stopped in front of the grand clock tower

And knocked on the door, expecting a glower.

The other went round to where the kitchen should be

And waited for an answer silently.

 

Dee, who was better with words, stood on the doorstep while rehearsing his lines. He'd distract the clock man - whatever his name was since Dee couldn't be bothered to remember the name of a man Dum didn't like - as his brother snatched the food from the kitchen. Their plan was perfect except for one flaw. If there was anyone else in the tower, the plan would fail but they were certain no one visited the gloomy old clock man. Or so they thought. Dee was smarter than his brother but that didn't make him very smart either. The two didn't consider the fact that Julius had gotten himself a helper. He knocked again, louder, and shouted against the door, "Old man clockmaker, open the door!" He insulted the owner, expecting the door to open still because he was confident in his ability to annoy if the man refused.

 

Another loud rap on the door was heard by Dum before he scrunched his nose at the direction of the kitchen. He wanted his food but the door hadn't opened yet. He considered just going in anyway and leave before the man noticed but Dee had warned him against it. Dum was supposed to follow the plan for once. It was getting harder to wait with each growl of his stomach so he kept himself busy by climbing a tree near by. Up high in the tree, he could peer into a window. Seeing no one in the kitchen, he abandoned the plan. "Lucky~!" Dum jumped off the tree and slipped into the kitchen, following his nose.

 

Grinning from ear to ear, both boys waited

To have a laugh and have their hunger sated.

Dee raised another fist to pound on the door

While Dum slid across the kitchen floor.

Rummaging cupboards, he made more noise

Than intended by either of the two boys.

[Nyuchanxx]

Elliot rushed about to try and make food quickly, he didn't bother with anything for himself he got the feeling that he wouldn't be eating with his master today. As he went to pick up the pan of boiling water he looked away at something that had caught his interest, it wasn't important just distracted him for long enough for his hand to slip and miss the handle. He cursed loudly as he felt a sheering pain through his wrist as the side of the pan made contact with his flesh. The heat was instantly turned down as Elliot flailed for some cold water, shoving his hand into some bucket, he didn't care what it was as long as it was cold. The ice cold feeling soothed the pain and eased his heart bringing it down and stroking it back into submissiveness.

 

After a little while of standing in that same position the hare stood and straightening himself out he finished cooking wincing every so often as the pain made another come back and tormented him refusing to let him have more than a few minutes of calm. Slower than normal he picked up the plates and headed to Blood's quarters hoping the man wouldn't be in to foul of a mood, he wasn't looking forward to another yelling after everything that had happened already that day. He sighed before knocking on the door waiting for permission to enter, there was no way he was going in there without it and risk alighting the man's wrath again.
