🐇   JACK.

aftxrthesky:

           —– S A T I S F I E D  was the smirk that danced its way across jack’s expression.  it didn’t quite click with him that alice hadn’t necessarily been bothered, nor did it particularly matter as far as he wad concerned.  “ i’m sure ya can.  you’re speakin’ on your own right now, in fact. ” && she was – as far as literals went.

     “ strangers aren’t always nice. i’ll have you know. ” he responded with a tap of his own nose before hands would burry away into the pockets of his jacket.  “ was hopin’ t’a run int you actually.  was thinkin’ – why don’t we throw a party ??  i’ve always heard about ‘em, but never been invited.  figured that NOW, in my new independence, it was about time i threw my own. ”

          the  only  thing  jack’s  comments  earned  him  was  a  quick  roll  of  bright  eyes ,  blink-and-you’d-miss-it .  her  response  to  the  mention  of  a  PARTY ,  on  the  other  hand ,  was  effusive  -  ❛  a  party ,  that’s  a  fantastic  idea !  ❜  exclaimed  the  girl ,  face  lighting  up . ❛  w a i t ... what  do  you  mean ,  never  been  invited ?  ❜

         alice's  expression  turned  aghast ,  filled  with  pity ,  almost  as  if  he’d  just  told  her  he'd  contracted  a  debilitating  illness .  ❛ you’ve  really  never  gone  to  a  party ?  not  one ?  oh ,  jack  ...  ❜  what  sort  of  a  life  had  the  boy  come  from ,  to  have  never  attended  a  single  party ?  of  course ,  not  all  parties  were  fun  --  the  ones  thrown  by  her  parents  back  in  england ,  for  instance ,  had  almost  always  been  TERRIBLY  DRY  and  BORING .  but  parties  shared  with  friends ,  and  filled  with  music ,  those  were  the  BEST . ❛  you’ll  love  it ,  i’m  certain  of  it !  and  it’ll  be  a  good  way  to  meet  anyone  else  we  haven’t  been  introduced  to  around  here .  would  you  like  some  help  planning  it ?  oh ,  do  let  me  help  you !  ❜

🎩   HATTER.

5oclockhats:

That voice was beyond familiar.  His beloved Alice. He couldn’t hide his joy to see her, and did so with a smile.  “ The sentiment, my dear Alice, is very much shared. Now tea time will be a little less dull. “  he spoke.  “You have not told me your world had such a high level of idiots.”

          the  girl  let  out  an  airy  laugh .  ❛  i  doubt  you’ve  ever  had  a  dull  tea-time ,  hatter ,  with  or  without  me .  ❜  she  had  a  hard  time  imagining  that  her  absence  could  do  anything  to  lessen  the  chaotic  madness  that  generally  characterised  one  of  hatter’s  parties .  a  certain  someone  else’s ,  on  the  other  hand ,  might .  ❛  speaking  of  tea ,  where’s  your  usual  drinking  partner ?  it’s  rare  that  i’ve  seen  one  of  you  without  the  other .  ❜  if  it  had  indeed  happened  at  all .  alice  peered  around  hatter ,  as  if  expecting  the  MARCH  HARE  to  leap  out  from  behind  him  in  the  next  moment .

           at  hatter’s  next  comment ,  alice’s  brows  drew  together  in  a  skeptical  expression .  ❛  i’m  not  entirely  certain  this  is  my  world ,  hatter .  it  certainly  bears  a  resemblance  in  some  regard ,  but  there  are  a  great  many  things  here  that  i’ve  never  EVER  seen  before .  ❜

ROBIN.

hxnorablethief:

“I suppose it’s my own fault for not looking where I was going,” Robin gave a light chuckle, he’d been running from someone who had caught him picking their pocket and had been more concerned with losing them than keeping an eye on where he was going. “Well, maybe we can help one another find a way. I’m Robin.”

       alice  offered  her  hand  in  greeting .  ❛  very  pleased  to  make  your  acquaintance ,  robin .  i’m  alice .  say ... we’ve  met  before ,  haven’t  we ?  ❜  if  it  could  be  called  a  meeting ,  as  brief  as  it  had  been .  

           ❛  if  you  weren’t  looking  where  you  were  going ,  where  were  you  looking  at ?  ❜  it  was  then  that  her  ears  caught  the  faint  sound  of  yelling  in  the  distance ,  and  she  turned  to  see  a  man ,  beet-red ,  fighting  to  catch  his  breath ,  and  marching  in  their  direction .  ❛  is  he ...  coming  over  to  us ?  ❜  alice’s  first  thought  was  the  fear  that  she  herself  had  somehow  upset  the  stranger ,  though  she  was  certain  she  had  never  seen  him  in  her  life .  then  she  had  a  second  thought ,  and  turned  to  robin .  ❛  do  you  know  that  man ?  ❜

        it  wasn’t  surprise  that  graced  his  features . and  he  was  distracted  by  her  ‘ fairly  certain ’  comment ,  as  it  seemed  the  question  was  more  complicated  than  he  had  given  credit  for .  no ,  what  the  wolf  wore  was  contempt .  disappointment .  this  wasn’t  the  first  time  he  was  swept  away  to  a  new  territory ,  and  his  first  assumption  was  that  it  had  to  do  with  the  very  same  woman. ❛  what  was  your  crime ?   you’re  beautiful  –  very beautiful ,  actually .  ❜  it was unlike her to let something like that go to waste. ❛  unless, of course, you are her.  ❜  he  approached  the  ‘stranger’  with  determination  shining  in  his  gold  eye ,  narrowed  in  his  observation  of  her .  then  he  recoiled .  NOT LIKELY .

               ❛  crime ?  i  don’t ... i  don’t  quite  understand  your  meaning ,  sir -  oh !  well ,  erm ,  thank  you ?  ❜  alice’s  cheeks  made  like  roses  painted  red ,  the  girl  surprised  at  the  sudden  compliment .  by  his  tone ,  however ,  it  didn’t  seem  as  if  the  man’s  intentions  were  to  flatter  her ,  and  any  pleasantness  alice  might  have  felt  began  to  trickle  away  as  he  drew  nearer ,  eyes  intent  as  if  studying  her .  it  struck  her  that  perhaps  she  should  be  exercising  more  caution  --  something  about  this  man  screamed  danger .  shrinking  away  from  him ,  alice  was  relieved  when  he  stepped  back  a  second  later .

        ❛  her ?  who’s  her ?  ❜  she  asked  tentatively .  (  and  here  she’d  thought  conversations  were  only  this  confusing  in  WONDERLAND .  )

JACK.

aftxrthesky:

            A H E M .  “ yeah, don’t look at her for direction.  you outta your mind ?? ”  an arm slinked around alice’s shoulders.  “ she’ll have ya lost ‘fore you can even think about bein’ found. ”  in his mind, it made sense.  in his mind he was the HERO of the situation.  besides, he needed the blonde’s attention more than some lost fool.

                     his eyes bugged, his posture stiffened – jack was hardly intimidating, but was fully prepared to DARE this stranger to ask so much as one-more-thing.  luckily ( for him ) they walked away, the boy shaking with a chuckle, bemused.

       that  might  be  true  ...  but  he  needn’t  put  it  quite  like  that .  it  wasn’t  as  if  she’d  send  them  in  the  wrong  direction  on  PURPOSE .  and  how  had  he  popped  up  so  suddenly  like  that  ?  and  what  was  he  trying  to  do  now ,  eyes  staring  daggers  into  the  poor  man  who’d  had  the  GALL  to  ask  for  a  little  help ?

       as  she  watched  the  stranger’s  retreating  back ,  alice  wriggled  out  from  under  the  boy’s  arm  as  discretely  as  she  could ,  not  wishing  to  offend .  ❛  you  know ,  jack ,  for  future  reference ,  i  can  speak  for  myself .  ❜  but  there  was  a  certain  something  to  his  actions  that  spoke  of  good  intentions  ,  so  she  flashed  him  a  grin .  

        ❛  so  where  did  you  appear  from ,  up  to  any  mischief  today  ?  besides  scaring  off  perfectly  nice  strangers .  ❜

       seeing  as  the  wolf  had  all  but  approached  the  young blonde ,  he  found  amusement  in  the  wordy  response  he received .  scripted .  a  common  scenario ,  he  could  only  guess .  ❛  telling  me  where  i  AM  shouldn’t bear too difficult for you .  the air …  this isn’t france .  ❜  a  pleasing  confirmation ,  if  one  would  to  come .

“That’s quite alright, dear! I’ll find it myself. It’ll serve as good practice for when I need to find it again.” Clara was never in a hurry, and she didn’t want the sweet girl to feel bad at all about being confused.

“Have you thought about carrying a map with you?”

           wishing  very  much  to  be  of  service  to  the  lovely  woman  who  had  approached  her  in  need ,  alice’s  demeanour  brightened  as  she  exclaimed ,  ❛  i  could  help  you  search  for  it ,  perhaps  !  ❜  she  had  the  time ,  there  wasn’t  anything  pressing  she  needed  to  attend  to .  ❛  what  does  it  look  like ?  perhaps  i’ve  passed  it  by  and  simply  wasn’t  aware  of  it  !  ❜

          ❛  oh ,  i  am  so  very  glad  to  see  you .  ❜  finally ,  a  familiar  face  --  that  wouldn’t  immediately  begin  screaming  for  her  head .  catching  sight  of  his  (  glum ?  perplexed ?  )  expression ,  she  stopped  short .  ❛  is  there  something  wrong ?  ❜

It didn’t take many words out of Alice’s mouth for the Queen’s jaw to pop out of place. She felt as though she wanted to scream and die right there on the sidewalk, but that vulnerable, lonely feeling made her concentrate the rage. It showed on the outside as profuse sweating. But she wasn’t about to let herself collapse from heatstroke without giving the girl a stern reply. 

“Listen, ALICE. I may not have an armada at my back, but Wonderland or no Wonderland– remember that you are a pest!! And I will have your  h e a d.” 

They weren’t alone on that sunny street, and so the threats were hissed through teeth like nobody else could know what she was saying. The display certainly garnered a look or two.

“How long, then? Hm? How long have you been here?”

                   to  no  one’s  surprise ,  alice’s response  appeared  to  have  only  infuriated  victoria  further .  the  girl  canted  her  head  up  and  away  as  the  queen  seethed  under  her  breath ,  repeating  the  threat  that  had  so  often  featured  in  alice’s  childhood  nightmares .  it  was  such  a  severe  change ,  hearing  the  queen’s  vitriol  expressed  in  a  malicious  hiss  instead  of  the  familiar  booming  ROAR ,  that ,  despite  the  girl’s  previous  bravado ,  the  words  managed  to  get  in  under  her  skin .  suppressing  a  shiver ,  alice  fought  to  keep  her  expression  calm .  she  was  thankful  that  over  the  years  she  had  grown  at  least  closer  to  the  queen  in  height ,  but  a  dash  of  magical  mushroom  wouldn’t  go  unappreciated  right  about  now .

                  ❛  wonderland  or  no  wonderland  --  YOU’RE  nothing  but  an  awful  hag  with  a  barbaric  temper .  ❜  curious  eyes  that  had  been  drawn  to  the  queen  and  the  threats  spilling  from  her  mouth  flitted  over  to  alice  next ,  as  if  watching  the  volley  of  a  ball  at  a  tennis  match . 

                  ❛  well  clearly  i’ve  been  here  far  too  long ,  since  i’ve  had  the  misfortune  of  running  into  you .  but  if  you  must  know ,  it’s  been  a  few  days  since  i  found  myself  here .  ❜  alice  crossed  her  arms  primly ,  and  prepared  to  march  herself  in  the  other  direction  in  the  next  breath .  an  end  to  this  conversation  couldn’t  arrive  too  soon .

BAGHEERA.

b-gheera:

The one thing Bagheera would never reaaaally understand about humans, was their cravings for sweets or their pet games.  A fair, to him, was something so ridiculous and fascinating at the same time. He saw the colors through a human eye , it seemed vivid, while the rest of his senses seemed numb.  He had stopped at a stand to observe people throwing stuff at some cans for …a plushie. It left him….skeptical. More so when offered to play.  “You want me….to throw a ball … “ he blinked and sighed. “Do you want whatever I’ll get from this….ball contest ? “ he asked the person next to him. Might as well…be useful to someone…maybe. 

        a  fair !  a  fair !  excitement  thrummed  through  alice’s  veins ,  as  she  examined  all  that  the  festival’s  stalls  had  to  offer  with  glee .  she  had  never  grown  out  of  her  love  for  visiting  fairs ,  and  to  find  out  that  fairvale  would  be  throwing  one ,  well ,  she  had  certainly  been  among  the  most  excited .  it  was  a  rather  different  experience ,  attending  one  without  any  friends  or  family ,  but  nevertheless  alice  made  it  her  goal  to  get  the  most  fun  out  of  the  day .  while  taking  enthusiastic  bites  from  a  stick  of  fairy  floss  in  hand ,  the  girl  stopped  at  a  ball  toss  game ,  peering  with  interest  at  the  collection  of  soft  toys  offered  up  as  prizes  (  in  particular ,  at  the  large  white  rabbit ) .  she  was  about  to  get  in  line  to  try  her  own  hand  at  the  contest ,  before  she  was  addressed  by  the  next  person  up  to  bat .  alice  smiled  up  at  him .  ❛   i  mean ,  if  you  really  don’t  want  it  yourself ?  i  was  going  to  give  it  a  go ,  but  you  could  very  well  be  a  better  shot  than  i  am  !  ❜
