Alice in Wonderland

[A; who in the world am i?' ah, that's the great puzzle!]

[Should you find yourself wondering around Kingstown you might come across a young girl sitting next to a flowing fountain with a book in her hands. She seems to be flickering through the pages quite quickly with the book resting on her apron on her lap. She finally stops on the last page and starts to read from the back forwards... A little backward, isn’t that?]

Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

[Curious. Just what is she reading out loud? It's almost sing-song. If you continue to listen she might continue without noticing you at all.]

Beware the Jabberwock, my son.
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch.
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch…

[And when she finishes reading this line she seems to look up. Startled, she lets out a small breath and rests a hand on the page.]

Please, tell me you’ve heard of the Jabberwocky?

[B; it would have made a dreadfully ugly child; but it makes rather a handsome pig.]

[Upon wandering through the Enchanted Forest Yuri finds herself picking several wildflowers and creating simple comfortable crowns for her head. She has two there now and she’s carefully making a third. This one seems to be made up of glowing purple flowers.

Even further into the woods, Yuri can be found picking mushrooms as well. Red ones, orange ones, pink ones too. She’s carefully collecting them in a satchel at her side.]


I’ve heard that mushrooms carry magical properties. Care to try one with me?

[Eating magical mushrooms shouldn’t be so bad, right? A little tingle in your stomach, a flutter of your eyes... Perhaps you’ll fall fast asleep or grow twice as big. Maybe you’ll see colours or want to fly or maybe you’ll even turn into a small butterfly. Maybe you'll fall in love or want to hate or simply want to cry. You'll only find out when you try a mushroom!]

[C; it's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.]

[Within the Court of Hearts Yuri can sometimes be found sneaking the halls carefully, avoiding all guards and making her way through the castle with a dagger on her hip. She sneaks into the gardens and finds any white roses she can find so that she can...

Paint them red?

She’s compelled to do it, sneaking in as often as she can to sabotage the roses with red paint. And because of that Yuri seems to have knowledge of how to sneak in and out of the gardens without being detected. Or is she just that lucky and sneaky? Here is hoping she doesn’t lose her head one of these days...

Help her paint roses red or get in trouble with her or get lost in the insanity of the castle, either way-- it’s bound to be mad.]


[D; curiouser and curiouser!]

[got something else? feel free to toss it down here! or contact me at [plurk.com profile] michrure for plotting!]
