You take a seat at Alice's table and clink the glasses together in toast before bringing the glas to your lips to sip the drink.It goes down quite smoothly with a refreshing taste vague;y of grapes and other berries for flavor.
"Say what's Shakespearean anyway?"
Alice sips her drink in turn and gives you a simple shrug," Why, I haven't the faintest idea, though the answer should make itself known given enough time.. Like anything after all..."

"Quite," You stare into the wine-glass, the liquid seeming to swim around," So, I've heard tell of this.. Jabberwocky.. would it be possible..."
Alice raises an eyebrow as an amused smile makes its home upon her face," Oh? You've heard.. The poor dear's been captured by the Queen. She'd slay it if she only had the means to..." Alice leans her small frame over the table speaking soft and low as to avoid other people's listening," However, I'm the one that's found the Vorpal Sword.. The only thing that can.." She situates herself back within her seat, looking thoughtful once more," Certainly, there should be a way to release it, however that'll require effort on both of our parts.. It certainly won't be easy, though it'd prove to be a fantastic guest to the Queen's greatest party...

"Oh yes, and you're luck that you took a seat..."
>Wonderland Rule #12: When drinking wine while standing, you are bound to shrink...

"Just thought that I'd let you know since the surprise has lost its appeal." Alice rests her head upon a hand, her elbow planted into the table," I'm also quite surprised that you've been so calm considering that you likely could've just killed all of them..."

You only smile as you sip at your wine," All in good time Alice.. All in good time..."

Who do you speak to next? Or do you have more to say to Alice?
>Madeleine
>Alice
>The Ham Sand Witch
>Playing Card Servers(Clubs)
>The Dodo Director..
>The various citizenry of the Village Found that come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and species...

>>26923351
>Playing Cards
We're great at card games, so naturally, they should love us? Right?

>>26923351
>Alice
Ask about the vorpal sword.
then
>Playing Card Servers(Clubs)
Ask him about the village

>>26923351
>The Dodo Director..

Ask him about taking this show all the way to the top, if it'd be possible to showcase our talents to the Red Queen eventually.

>>26923397
>>26923450
Oh yes. Let's ask about the Vorpal Blade before going off to speak to anyone else.

>>26923450
>>26923526

And what would you care to know about the vorpal one?

>>26923582
What can it do? How sharp is it? Can it talk? Could you use it to start a campfire? What is the extent of its power?

>>26923582
>Where did you find it
>Would it be useful against the Red Queen
>Should it be brought along if we go to meet the Jabberwocky

>>26923582
If there are Vorpal Blades, does that mean there are Vorpal Bunies?

You set your drink down, the ruby red of the wine swishing gently in the cup as you relax slightly into your chair, whom giggles softly, like a virgin maiden.
"About this.. Erm.. Vor-" You begin, yet Alice's sharp glare and sudden sneer throw you off,
" No, we're not talking about vor, no matter how much you find it enjoyable, we're not talking about vor or Jabbers. Shush now you..." She sips her drink again, and before you manage to speak again, she smiles sweetly," Though, if you must know, it is sharp enough to cut through the hardest metal, yet also so dull enough that it can't cut through wet paper. Much like a wock, it's an irony upon itself. The Wock is the only thing its made to kill, yet that's only because it was made to kill everything, yet specifically that."

"And if the Vor was used against something other than a wock?"
"It would kill it, but then it wouldn't. Because it can only kill what has already been dead, though it can kill everything that has been."

"That.. Makes very little sense.." You growl and bring a palm to your eyes in your frustration," Indeed it shouldn't. Otherwise it wouldn't do anything to a ber... Now, shoo shoo. You have plans to put into motion, do you not? Lands to fix and plays to act, yes?"

You nod slowly, to the girl as she motions for you to go away, she sips her wine again,"Beating a dead horse may make it walk, but only if it still indeed can talk. Sensible, isn't it?"

Not at all you groan, looking about this crazy place...You hear dozens of conversations taking place at the very moment...

Seems like this would be useful against a certain kingdomless king.

Anyway. Time to go clubbing with the Playing Cards.

>>[] Waltz up to Maddie and ask her to dance.. perhaps ask her if she'd like to have a hand in carnage?
Lets waktz a bit with her and ask what she wants to do with the crowd. We can't let her out of important decisions.

Thinking to myself.. rather slow tonight... Slapped my own face when I realized I didn't tell the birds..

>>26924000
Chat up the cards.

>>26924000
>[] Approach the Dodo director to speak with him about your future as a thespian.

The Cards are the Guards, right? I'm guessing we can learn from them if there are any....subversive elements. In the society of wonder.

>>26924097
"Kill what has already been dead" would certainly applies to us. Be careful

>>26924582
Which makes my theory of the Jabberwocky being an Akuma who's spent too much time in Wonderland a bit more appealing.

>>26924617
But if it was an akuma, they could kill it easily. Unless it's a level 4 akuma.

>>26924657
Or if Alice has done some....experimentation of her own.

>>26924679
Maybe she could help us getting fixed. Or simply infuse us with enough wonderstuff from wonderland that we could become something more.

Seems you want to play with cards.... Very well then, apologies for the wait. I'm so troublesome it's just trifling.

>>26924708
Eeeeeeeh, I think I'll settle for the more scientifically minded Noah to help us with that.

Alice isn't exactly the most gentle when it comes to things such as this.

Oh, by the way, how are you going to front when playing with the cards? mind you that these specific ones are servants.

>>26924833
Front? What do you mean? Like, how we'll act in front of them?

I guess we'd want to give off the distinguished air of a THESPIAN.

So the Playing Cards are just servants?

>>26924892
Indeed
Sounds good
Clubs are, yes.

[x]Discuss with Maddie about how It would be dreadful if the Dodo director were falsely accused of unspeakable acts and the Red Queen showed up to execute him.Why just IMAGINE it.

>>26924909

He'd need a trial. And witnesses are called to the trial.

>>26924909
We don't want to prematurely jumpstart our confrontation with the Red Queen before we've gotten everything prepared for the party.

We haven't even visited the Cat or the Hatter yet!

>>26924833
Well, lets present ourself as Duke Jacob Ember Faefnir, blue knight of the Lady Madeleine.

Lets act like a gentlemen and an aristocrat.

>>26924000
Edit:

[x]Discuss with Maddie about how It would be dreadful if the Dodo director were falsely accused of unspeakable acts and the Red Queen showed up to execute him.Why just IMAGINE it. It would cut our blooming acting career short barely after it just started.

>>26924926
Whyever not? If she find us, then we are found. Therefore obviously we'll lose her if we need to. Logic, you see.

>>26925014
Ah, but if we do it with the intent to lose her, then invariably, we will find her. Pessimism, you see, trumps Optimism, except for the times when it doesn't, which may not be as often as one may like.

>>26925028
But if our intent is to lose her to find her, won't it cancels itself out?

You put on your airs, clearing out your throat as you approach the gaggle of playing cards that have finished their service and are now being served in turn.

They sit around a large round table, holding a great many smaller cards that run back and forth, and even hop to their hand when they need to draw... Like an auto-poker.. it's fascinating.. simply fascinating..
None of them seem to notice you until you clear your throat properly and stand up tall and straight as expected of one so considerably regal as yourself.
"Why hello there my lovely gentlemen-"
"An ladies.." 2 says with a husky, feminine voice.
You blink, slightly taken back and rather.. irrate from the correct. You roll a growl through your voice," Right, and ladies.. How're the cards? There a spot for me at this table of yours?"

"Dis here's a round table Mr. Rufflebottom Thespian, and right now is about the turnabout time. You needs to be serv'n us now," The 6 says with some kind of cockney accent.. and you give him a bit of a sneer, only for the card to give you one that shakes the very dark of your matter skeleton.

"Right then.. Turnabout hour.." You look about, seeing now that the Dodo's running martinis and chips to some of the cards, The Ham Sand Witch and its associates too are preparing little sandwiches with toothpicks for the backstage monkeys to do appetizer runs... Hell, even Maddie's taken to wear some kind of bunny outfit that barely contains her buns and melons with lace stockings.. Of course, Alice simply sits there, looking out of place as the only one that doesn't serve the cards.. that is.. until she turns to you, and you see that she's wearing a maid's bonnet..

What in the devil is this nonsense... The Banquet hall's serving staff and patrons are completely in reverse... And you somehow missed it.

You know, I wonder what would happen if we baked bread the opposite of the prank bread. Sanity inducing for Alice I mean.

Anyway if turnabout is the name of the game and we need to serve them, then either they shall serve us or we need to turn right about and leave.

>>26925143

CRAZY CROQUETTES and then turn the clock so that the rabbit is late for it.

>>26925326

>>26925326
I asked this at the end of the last thread.

We need to do a synchro roll with Maddie to do it here, was the gist of it.

Hrmm.. seems that you'd like to use Crazy Croquette.. That certainly won't go wrong in any way that I could possibly imagine.

You'll need Maddie to help you if you're doing it without ash...
Let's see.. Synchro level is 3(5)/10

Will you do it?

of course, first some dreadful drunken fool would have to set a house on fire so we could cook.

Rolled 3

>>26925742
Does it involve guards, bad rhymes and about 1000 bottles of fruit preserves?

>>26925742
But it's turnabout time

You look about this frivolous display of thespian, shakespearean, actor, director, and stage-hand alike treating the servants, the monkeys, and the cards like kings, queens, dukes, earls and whatever other royalty you care not to name This tragedy simply will not stand...

You bid yourself a gracious farewell from the table of Playing Cards playing cards with playing cards and turn yourself, locking your vision upon Maddie. You weave past the hurrying actors and others alike, grimacing at the thought of serving those that should rightly be less than you. You won't serve those that are'nt family after all, as they aren't family to be served, and if they are'nt family to be served then they should be serving YOU because you are to be serviced and not serve or be in service of. Not them, you. Serve me, not you, They serve you, not you. They...

You turn off your background thoughts and smile.. Who needs subroutines that loop anyway?

Maddie bends over a table, placing drinks down for the cards and monkeys as they roll dice,"Here you are my lovelies, hope you're having a great time!"
"Havin' a great time now that you bent ovah here, Youknow what'm sayin' boys?" A 10 talks fast and smooth, while smoking a thick cigar, the others laugh," I thought I was club, but I'm feel'n hard as a diamond!"
Maddie winks at a bashful 3 as the rest of the cards laugh, hooping and hollering," Now now, boys... Ten, you're such a card.."
The Cigar smoking Ten chuckles, ashes spilling upon the table," No need for such obscenities my dear, I know I'm a card, as much as you're a good time!"

Maddie stands straight up and looks to you, flirtation sparkling in her eyes," This place is quite.. fun.. isn't it?" She seems to be sincerely enjoying herself..
You frown a bit to the side," Indeed, though we can make it ever better.. What say you we try to make a crazy Croquette?"

>>26925939
Oh 10. I like you.

And I'm sorry for what's about to happen.

Madeleine ponders the idea for a moment, sets her tray down and shuffles over to you on heels far too high, pressing her pushed up endowments into your chest and staring at you with her blue eyes.. "Why, my dear Faefnir, i thought you'd never ask." She punctuates with a kiss upon your nose... And the two of you begin to concentrate.. Your power beginning to ripple this very banquet hall....

_________________________________

You stand upon a garden filled with dripping red roses, hedge bushes that bear jagged and cutting thorns, grasses that are very much like blades, except when you walk upon them.
The Turnabout hour has passed, and you see that this garden is attached to a very, very red castle bearing the emblem of hearts everywhere.. Beating, human hearts, still spewing out blood now and again.

The Dodo Director walks forward, wielding a sickly sickle.. sickly in that its nose drips every now and then."And so, the games of the royal majesty will begin! The most noble of all sports, Croquet, shall be played in the garden of Hearts and red roses!" The Dodo pauses as the sickle sneezes, with an especially loud "HACHOO." There's a resounding" GOD BLESS YOU" from everyone in the courtyard, including you.

Wait.. what the hell?
>Wonderland Rule # 45 When someone sneezes, everyone present will say God Bless You.

Oh, right.. Those again...

Maddie steps forward with her own sappy sickle in hand, that's laying down all the complements on her," Oh, you complete me." It says, "You're the only one I need." It says," I like maple syrup as much as I love you." it says.
You yourself wield a Singing Sickle that won't stop singing "La" at every chance it gets...

The Playing cards arch themselves in various lines. and a bunch of little shrews walk about among the grass.. Apparently they're your targets.. One of them looks up to you and sneezes. with a quiet,"Chu."
"GOD BLESS YOU"
Everyone says again... The shrew stands upon its hind legs among the blades of grass," God b-bless you.. e-everyone." it says with a quiet voice.

You are in the Queen's courtyard... You are playing Croquet.
>What do you do?
You may ask for some additional details!

>>26926295
Acid trip, huh?

>>26926295
Ask Maddie if she remembers how we got here.

And if she does, why we don't.

>>26926295
So, using the creation engine triggered a jump and space and time?

Who is with us in the courtyard?

>>26926295
Who is here other than us and Maddie?

How are we doing in the game of croquet?

What is Maddie wearing?

>>26926417
And for that matter, what are WE wearing?

>>26926295
Is Alice nearby? Either way let Madeleine go first as it's only polite.

>>26926295
What color ball(equivalent - is it singing?)/sickle do we have? What's being used for wickets? Is Alice visible anywhere? Do we still have enough ash for baking?

>>26926417
Seconding finding out what our Maddie is wearing!

>>26926479
We don't have ash.

We can't use our fire magic, so we can't make anything into ash.

I guess we could use our Ravenous Body to break down materials, though. Would that work, Du- I mean, Alice?

Things must have gotten quite interesting after the croquettes were introduced into the party.

>>26926546
If the last village was set on fire (crazier things have happened without magic) or at least parts of it were, then we might well have some ash to play with. Who knows though.

>>26926344

You found yourself upon a stage after fighting with a ham sand witch, turning the clock forward, you arived at a banquet hall for an after-party, and now you're playing Croquet.

This is Wonderland baby!

>>26926448
Always, there's quite a few other animals and cards here. Ten is currently setting himself up as an arch to peek under Maddie's skirts.

And on that note.
>>26926436
>>26926417
You are wearing a fly-ass, dapper as hell Suit tuxedo made out of the chinhairs of a unicorn!
Madeleine is wearing a petticoat/Leotard combo with lace-stockings and a V-line at her neck. She's poppin!

>>26926479
The Shrew before you is Sickly, so it goes to the Sickly Scythe. You need to find the shrew that's Singing, and Maddie needs to find the one that's being Sappy. The Queen has not yet arrived to the Garden as she is not yet fashionable to be late, so she is preparing herself.

So.. For the current characters of note...

The Dodo Director is still directing, as he's going about directing the game.
The Sand Witch was apparently not invited for being found out to be a ham.
Alice is hiding out somewhere around here.
The Playing cards are all present: there are Spades that seem to be rather content with the color of the roses; Hearts that are standing at guard. Clubs that are acting as Wickets. and Diamonds that are standing around as the pompous aristocrats in observance of the game.

>>26926573
Or everyone got enlightened.

>>26926677
>The Sand Witch was apparently not invited for being found out to be a ham.
Oho. I wonder if he might not be a bit sore at that.

Well then. Let's play.

.....

I have no actual idea how croquette is played.

>>26926505
First things first: stop 10 from peeking under Maddie's skirt.

Lets play criquet afterward.

>>26926761

WHY. WHY DON'T YOU LIKE FUN?! TEN DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG!

>>26926796
A 10 can't peek under a king's queen.

>>26926819
That would be a Jack/Prince, correct?

>>26926739
Ehhh So we're going to stop 10 and play, eh?
No funny antics? No murderspreeing, no using the sickle on the dodo? No running into the Red castle?

Ho hum...

>>26926677
>Ten is currently setting himself up as an arch to peek under Maddie's skirts.
He dies

>>26926949
We're not thugs, Alice.

We're gentlemen.

>>26926848
Yes indeed, but sadly our Jack is a bit lost and red right now, so no one can peek under her skirt.

Speaking of which, oh crap, we left Shwere alone with the necronomicon.

>>26926949
One thing at a time. We can hit the wrong ball if you want.

>>26926982

Heheheh.. I was wondering when somebody would realize that..

>>26926949
I'd rather we clubbed him unconscious with someone else's shrew.

>>26927040
First you need to TAME the shrew!

>>26927008
I noticed it a while back, I just didn't bring it up because there's nothing we could do about it and there's no point in worrying about it while we're not there.

>>26927008
Oh, I didn't forget. There just isnt much we can do right now. The real questions are whether Morgan is taking care of our family in our absence (Alice ordered her to put Ivan back under cover, right) and whether Morgan has stumbled on to /that/ book already?

>>26927073
That look like a lot of work. Can we kill it then stuff the body?

>>26927008
Was there really any point in bringing it up? We can't do anything about it anyway.

Well, hopefully Wendell will be able to slow her down.

>>26927088
Morgan isn't with our family.

>>26927073
But throwing a TAME shrew at him would be like dropping a dead fish on him. No, let him have a feist and unhappy one!

Playing a game of Croquet.. Erm.. somewhat fairly I suppose.. We're going to stop ten from peeking, with someone else's shrew... And...play... Herm... Alright

>>26927380

Some chances need to crit for something nice to happen. But if they fail, the nice thing just doesn't happen,. But sometimes nice things just aren't what you want when you want it.

I'm writing now.

>>26927407
Here comes the Queen.

What's her innocence do again guys?

>>26927586
We don't know.

Rolled 36

>>26927586
I would guess some form of mind control or influence, as she converted the wonderlands to her worship. The title of queen itself implies some form of authority over others.

>>26927649
Not necessarily. Seeing as how the Red Queen hasn't gone (completely) mad in Alice's Wonderland, it's possible that the shear strength of her willpower is warping the landscape and its inhabitants, such that even the being we created (the Witch) was formed to conform to her sensibilities.

You look about the courtyard, right confused with the sudden happenings happening so suddenly. You walk over to Madeleine, whom now wears a combination of a leotard with frills, a petticoat that stops just abover her knees, and lace stockings that make her legs look oh so smooth... She seems to be holding a Sappy Shrew that speaks sweet nothings to her along with her sickle, her crystal blue eyes regard you, and she smiles, much like the sun in the sky," Oh, my Faefnir darling, can you believe this?! We've arrived already at the Queen's most royal Red castle! Our career as thespians has gained her mark approval.. I.." She wipes a black tear from her eye with a handkerchief, I'm so happy that we've had this opportunity..."

It is at that point you realize that you've spent years of rigorous practice and training to achieve stardom upon the stage that actually saw the Queen's approval. The Ham Sand Witch had quit its career acting along-side your troupe, and the Director had been hired as an attendent to the Queen shortly after the after party. But not the one that you distinctly remember being in from before.. no, the one after that.
It was through yours and Maddie's dedication alone that brought you this far... You feel so much closer to her knowing all of this...

>Synch rating increase! (4/10!)

Alice had always been there as well, supporting the two of you when she could. She did begin down a dark life of selling rocks to aspiring actors and actresses, cutting corners when and where she could. It's a hard life living in the shadows of wonderland with Hatters and Cats after all... Now and then, she would say, "Those Oysters don't eat themselves.."

She was the one though, that had convinced you to propose to Madeleine, this is the big day and you wanted to make the moment special by doing it during a lull in the Queen's party, before all the most important people in wonderland...

>Synch Rating Increase.. (5/10)..

>>26927777
HAHAHAHA. What.

>>26927850
Time is a very strange thing around here.

And through all our hard work and dedication we'll be right up close to the Red Queen.

We should probably ask Alice to find the Jabberwocky so she can unseal him when we give a signal.

>>26927850

Adam Sandles in Press was an awesome movie.

>>26927777
Oh my, it's soo beautiful! And my 19 is going to fuck it up. Guess Maddy doesn't want to be tied down to just little old us.

>>26927890
I've got a feeling that we're going to propose and have the Red Queen preside over the ceremony.

Hopefully we'll have the time to make....the necessary preparations.

>>26927906
If we get a crit success before a crit failure, it's a silly crit success. If they're switched, it's a silly crit failure.

Everything is good.

>>26927906
no, I think it's worse. we're going to do the ring in the champagne glass thing, and she's going to down the whole thing in one gulp, ring and all.

Mariage!? OF COURSE!

If we marry maddie, we'll be as one. Lets not forget the Noah of Bonds can combine together as one. Maybe marrying her in wonderland will unlock some form of power.

>>26928002
Not all his ideas, but some of them.

You falter a moment in your posture as all those memories catch up to you.. The strangest experience...

Maddie turns her heels back and forth," Find your shrew, let us play Faefnir. I'll take care of the Ten who's peeping at my undercarriage right now.." She gives you a peck upon your cheek. and then walks off hurriedly to get in position for the game...

"Right.. Ahh.. err.. Right then..." You scratch at your chin, finding a pointed bit of beard coming down from your chin... When in the hell did you grow this?

Mulling over those thoughts, you follow the complementary "La's" to an especially thick, yet suspicious thorny hedge to find that the la's seem to be coming directly from THIS bush... You feel around, and eventually touch a flower that feels a bit odd.. You move it and the hedge slides open, to reveal that your singing shrew is singing in the shower.
It suddenly feels a chill, and looks over to you, and then down at itself, and then up to you, and then it screams. And then your sickle screams.
>You now have a screaming Sickle and Shrew...

Time to play Croquet!
Erm... How do you play?

Smack it as hard as possible with the flat of the blade.

Nothing like pain to quiet the screaming.

>>26928089
Well we hit the balls through the hoops, the right hoops of course, and by ball I mean shrew and we use the sickle for this.

Obviously.

Alternatively, couldn't we related the shrew into running through the hoops for us? Menace it and chase it with the scyth?

>>26928372
>related
Damn, I really and falling asleep at the keyboard. Meant to say convince...

>>26928296
That's why we take it off when there hasn't been a call for a roll.

You grab the shrew by the scruff of its neck and throw it onto the grass, the thing gets cut up something fierce for not walking upon the grass, causing its scream to be one of blood curdling pain... In turn, the scythe too shares the shrew's newfound talent for singing.

You turn down your receivers to dull the sound, no sense in making a scene of this after all... Or bearing with the incessant screaming of a sickle and a shrew.

You hear a round of refined applause come from around the garden after Maddie's swing, she gives a refined curtsey, and carefully walks back over to you," I believe I received a rather charming amount of points for this wondrous little game.. Say, is your shrew well?" You look down at the bleeding little thing, wincing with a bit of pain and disgust as it reaches out for Maddie with a tiny little hand.. You turn your rears back up to hear it whisper out a tiny," Hel...p.. me..."

Maddie chuckles into her handkerchief, at the tiny thing's death," Oh Faefnir, why ever did you chose to throw it? You should know that we must walk here.. Mine died after scoring a reasonable amount of points.. Yours has scored none at all."

You adjust your suit made of Unicorn hair, and take out a pocket watch,"Well, my Lady Madeleine, had I not murdered my Shrew in advance, You wiuld have found that it would have scored all the points and made the game dreadfully boring for all of us. In this game, I have thrown in the towel as they say. for it is not a question of wheter I want to play the game, as the answer is that should I play fairly.. Why, I will simply win."

>>26928665
>turn your rears back up

This particular typo brings to mind an amusing mental image.

You give her a bow at that point and you feel a hand rest upon your shoulder, another round of applause rings through the garden, yet it all seems to be irrelevant as Maddie looks at you with adoration, her gentle lips moist and slightly agape, her generous bosom heaving up and down with every one of her breaths.
She slowly closes in upon you , wrapping her arms around you, a hand going directly to your butt, as she smiles," You speak so many half-truths and not-lies these days Faefnir, your pride has grown upon me as it has grown within you... She presses her lips against your cheek in a human cust- A kiss, and you return the gesture faithfully.
"It is all for you, and the Alice that we have not seen, as we have only just arrived here not too long ago... You are my sweet."

She blushes and rubs her cheek against yours much like a cat," Good to know love... Good to know..."

You hear the fanfare of trumpets announcing arrival of royalty..

To Madeleine, you smile, your chainsaw smile," Here comes the queen..."

THe Heart Suite of cards Scramble into a line of exceptionally large arches for the Red Queen to make her appearance.. Finally you will see this wretched woman that you have hunted for so long...

The Red Queen.. She wears a crown emblazoned with a precious Heart-shape, adorned with rubies and garnets set in gold.

Her Face is powdered white, and fair as all can be, perhaps even more beautiful than Madeleine's own fair skin. A pointed face with high cheekbones and a very slight, regal crook in her nose. Red eyelashes, red eyes, red lipstick, and hair that seems to fall down upon her shoulders like a scarlet waterfall.. Though there is something odd about it..
Her dress is regal, set with a heart upon her breast that displays Diamond, club and Spade. long elegant sleeves, and ribes befitting of such a queen. Overall, she is tall, and seemingly orderly.. And.. Gentle for what you had expected from Alice's words...

She speaks, calmly and slowly," My Pleasantladies, and Eagermen.. Wonderbunnies, shrews, cards, and people alike... I thank you for coming to my little garden party. It is also mu most esteemed pleasure to have my first-time quests, the famed Madnir troupe in attendance today. Never before have we seen such a wonderful pair that could move our hearts with joy, tears, laughter, and make us swoon so at the intensity of their love... I am so very pleased to have you here." The Red Queen herself touches the edges of her dress and curtseys to the two of you..

[X] Propose to Madeleine while killing everyone.

Things seem to be reaching a conclusion, so let's finally let loose. Also make sure to return Madeleine's gesture.

>>26928946
Thank the Queen and ask if we could have the honor of her presiding over Maddie and out's ceremony.

Cue delayed reaction as recognition of what we said sinks in.

>>26928946
>>26929034
Lets start by thanking the Queen for her recognition and then proposing to madeleine.

Right now, we have a general level exorcist right next to us, so going berserk might be a bad idea.

>>26929034
We've still got the Jabber to free.

And a wedding to plan.

>>26928946
propose to Madeleine to join you in killing everyone here.

>>26929104

>[] Thank Queen
>[] Propose

>>26929104

She was a general level exorcist. Maybe. Allegedly before becoming trapped here.. In the last generation of Noah...

She's spent a long time here...

>>26928946
We don't go killing until we are better prepared. We definitely want the Jabberwocky to be part of the party here, I think Alice can take care of that. Once that's taken care of we can start slaughtering, but until then we bide our time.

[X] Thank the Queen for her recognition.

Bow, Maddie will curtsy, show her enough respect that she does not grow suspicious.

Then propose to Madeleine.

"My dear Madeleine, I love you with all my heart. We have shared so much, so many trials and triumphs, we have seen each other at their best and their worst, and our love has never faltered. Your very presence fills me with joy. You complete me, you truly are my better half and I can not imagine a life without you by my side."

Get down on one knee.

"Will you marry me? Will you be mine for Eternity and a Day? Will you do me the honor of being my wife?"

Have the Red Queen preside over the marriage, if the timing works out we can open the slaughter right after we kiss the bride.

Actually, lets free the Jabberwock, max out our synchro rate, find out her weakness then attack her.

WHats the best way to max out our synchro rate? CLANG CLANG?

>>26929209
Ok, so she's a sideways general level exorcist and dreamworld monarch. She knows how to fight here and has the power to kill us.

>>26929209
I still feel it would be pretty risky to take her on unprepared. I am quite pessimistic about the outcome.

You take the hand of your very own, and fair Madeleine, and turn toward the queen, bowing together as though the two of you had just been on stage," Gracious Queen of Red wonders and merry lands of Wonder, I am pleased and honored for your personal recognition..." You rise, wiping away a clear tear from your eye," For you to even curtsey for us, it is something that I had never thought I would see within my own lifetime.. So, I must thank you for this as well.. for showing me something that I had never thought I'd see.. You have my deepest gratitude..."
The garden rings out with a round of applause at your exchange, you slip a hand into the breast of your jacket, and everyone gasps as you pull it out so suddenly, turn to Maddie...

"My dearest Madeleine, I love you with all my heart. We have shared so much." You touch her hand, the other one immediately goes to her breast, and then to her mouth, as she tries to conceal her smile.
"We have seen each other at their best and worst, and our love has never faltered... Your very presence fills me with joy.. Nay, in fact, you complete me. You are my better half, and I cannot imagine, or even bear life without you at my side..."
You take a knee and open the case, exposing the ring," Will you be mine for eternity and a day? Will you do me the honor of being my wife?"

Maddie's expression is incomprehensible for a moment, before brings both hands to her face and starts crying.. "No.. No.. No..." She whispers..

>>26929770
what
SHE CANNOT DENY US!

>>26929809
Sure she can. She's doing it right now.

>>26929770
>before bringing both hands to her face and starting to cry.

By jove that was bad...

>>26929809
Apparently she can.

Also, are her tears clear or black?

Yet she nods..
"Of course.. Of course... I just.. I need to use the Lady's room. I.. I need to powder my nose..." She takes a step back and a Little girl with a blue dress, blonde hair, and blue eyes struts up to Maddie while wearing a cheesy fake mustache,"She'll need help finding the lady's room," The Girl speaks in a deep, man-like voice," I'll help her find it, you know, because she's crying... The little girl with the Mustache gives you a wink like you should recognize her.. yet you don't...

>Maddie has accepted your proposal! Synch Rating (6/10)

The Red Queen begins to slowly clap at the display, tears streaming down her porcelain face," That was so beautiful.. You have moved me once more, and you are not even upon a stage..." She looks around to the other party-guests, almost as though she were searching out for the happiness in their expressions," Was that not the most beautiful thing you've ever seen?"

The Dodo begins to sob gently," Th-that... That reminds me of me and my wife..."
The Cards begin to clap, other aristocrats and other little talking animals too chitter about the beauty of your proposal at the queen's behest..

You too feel the urge to smile as you begin to feel relaxed and at peace.. Your oculars linger upon the queen for some time, and her simply statuesque beauty...

A triumphant roar is heard, and the corruption of the forces of nature causes a mountain to fracture...

THERE CAN BE, ONLY. ONE!

You feel the tendrils of.. something.. slipping into your brain.. Something interfering with your thoughts, obscuring what you feel.. how you feel, and even why..
You focus your Oculars upon the Red Queen.. staring her down.. Your brain scrambles itself, an unpaired force of creation begins to act within you and...
>Hardware accepted:... Drivers for "Lens of Truth" fabricated and uploaded...
What is this.. What's going on inside of your head... You touch your face, as you feel one of your eyes cycling suddenly through several lens... You back away from the Red queen, smiling,"I, ah.. I too.. Must use the restroom.. I'll.. Ah.. I'll be right back..."

You excuse yourself and abandon the premise, heading into the castle, soon finding a mirror upon the wall.. Nay, in fact, there are many mirrors... Your eye continues the mad switch between lenses, visible only within your human-form's pupil. Some twist, and others are fused together as everything is put into place... You look into the mirror and you see...

You bear no beard at all, and your clothes? They are missing, gone... Nonexistent...

You look down, with one eye bearing the lens, and the other eye seeing the wonder, you see that seeing the truth of your status as nude begins to write itself into the reality of Wonderland... You very shortly, find yourself cloth-less.

You stare back into the mirror, looking into the lens of truth, with the lens of truth...

>ph'nglui mglw'nafh
>hf'ang lwui deivokh
>zshai'hm reckt'le

... You stop doing that.. you stop doing that right now... The lens bore a strange mark that appeared akin to a polygonal footprint.. yet beyond that.. you felt those words pour directly into your mind...

Looking around the castle with the lens, you find that viewing this place with your mundane eye and lens of truth to be.. unsettling... As you stare at something, it is slowly unraveled from this faux reality... Yet if you look with the lens alone, it is written out almost immediately...

You switch away from the lens and hold your head, still pounding from the messed up words...

Oh, and you are still quite naked..
