❝ The fourth Alice were the twins of the heart,
Both were lost, and could not find the boat where they began
And so they wandered through countless open doors recklessly,
A stubborn sister and clever brother ran wild through Wonderland.❞ ♥
‖♥‖▬ : Adventures first, and explanations saved for later. Life’s an empty canvas, waiting in anticipation to be splattered by colorful paint. Not a single breath should be misused into mere idling and dull impassiveness. It’s all about fun. Glorious, juicy fun - that’s all the spirit is about. To frolic and play, to ferret through every single crannies that resided between tree roots and gravels without adult supervision! Now, that is zest wrapped up at its finest definition.
‘Mama’ and ‘Papa’ had ebbed away into insignificance, erased from Touko’s knowledge as the siblings ventured into the promised land. Stretching from inverted hallways to endless stairs and topsy-turvy rooms, there laid scenarios that could only be envisioned by the most delirious of minds. Criss-cross, sideways, all she had thought were child’s fantasies! The perfect material to fuel the pair’s enkindled curiousity. It had been a week (and still counting), since the day the elder sister had discovered the fairyland, back in their mansion’s stuffy basement. Quite a coincidence, wasn’t it? Oh, but she thought not! For stars had destined a small panel to reveal itself behind undusted chests and furniture. A vent, she had thought initially; but lifting the flimsy flap had proved the contrary. Without further delay, the brunette called for her beloved twin brother, Touya to accompany the journey. After all, the twins were not ‘twins’ without one another - not to mention, he was the ‘brains’ of two!
‖♥‖▬ : Ah,how enjoyable the job of a vagabond is!
Alas, they had strayed too far from home. Round and round, the fraternal counterparts attempted to retrace their steps, though to no avail. How bad could it be to stay in the dreamland just a little longer? If there’s a will, there’s a way. And if there’s an entrance, there must be an exit! Renewed by these naive motivations, the siblings roamed, their success in escaping deaths were supported by none other than the elder sister’s headstrong perseverance and the younger brother’s soft-spoken intelligence.
❝Little brother, do you want more sugar with that?~ ♫ ❞ Touko offered, vocal keys altering in a singsong voice. ❝You and I both know how much you like your tea sweet!❞Porcelain teapot carefully held between her palms, she then tipped the snout over to reward herself the long-awaited drink. Since then, this strange world had provided them more delicacies than they could ever possibly had back in their household - never did they suffer from hunger! Goods had been stolen from deserted trinket shops, and food was yet to run out of surplus, thanks given to the boundless berries and fruits.
‖♥‖▬ : ❝You know, don’t you wonder why we haven’t met anyone here?❞ the lass lowered her vocals an octave lower. ❝I think it’s a bit scary and… not normal. But there must be someone, since we saw that red trail back in the forest! They were all over the place… I don’t like your idea of it being ‘blood’ either, Touya. We should just stick with red paint—❞ Her voice trails off into inaudible wisps as blue optics fastened upon flickering shadows, the darkness almost appearing to peel away from the blackened portrait behind her twin. What was that—? Something that was actually alive?— Maybe it was the tree’s shade playing tricks on her…
❝Pardon me, little brother,❞ she apologized, uncertainty lingering beneath the dialogue. ❝I thought…—never mind, it’s just me.❞ Touko lifted her gaze up to observe the gentle shower of petals, confusion resting in ease at the serene ballet. With the teacup in hand, she slowly leaned inwards to take a sip before:
‖♦‖▬ : ❝Welcome to Wonderland.❞
Digits fumbled around the chalice’s curved handle, vision whirling back towards the direction of boyish chords. An alarmed yelp remained stuck in her throat as steaming brew split from her overturned grip. No warnings sounded out for her brother, for her actions were enough to stir his awareness. Touko propelled back onto her heels, arms jerking out protectively in front of Touya once eyes latched onto the most distinguishable thing: a weapon. A weapon.
‖♥‖▬ : ❝—Y-you! Who are you?❞ Another figure appeared behind the stranger, this time a lady! Heart pace quickened in agitated drumbeats, for harm could be far more imminent with two, and not one. Quantity were not going to be their advantage. First instinct? Run, run, run!
❝Wonderland,❞ the brunette echoed, backing away inch-by-inch, feet itching to turn tail and dash from the fray. ❝I-If that’s supposed to be a warm greeting, I can only reply with a gracious thank you, good s-sir. We’ll be leaving soon, if that’s what you’re worried about…❞ Hitching her head a few degrees over her shoulder, soft words left her rosy lips, intentionally aimed for her brother’s ears. ❝…If he makes a move, run. Don’t look back, okay?❞
