Darkening Wonderland- Let's play a Game » Places

         Ari tilted his head to the side, like a confused puppy. "Ya, that's what I said isn't it?" He suddenly grinned, "Alright, I think I got it!" He was absolutely sure he wouldn't forget her face. As Ari had snapped from his determined trance, he realized the position he had her in. He grinned slightly, a small blush creeping onto his face. "I-I-I'm sorry... but I still need to memorize your scent." He said seriously. He dipped his head down to her neck, sniffing making sure to pick up her scent, something he just realized he could do. "You smell nice..." He muttered, still sniffing her neck.

         Zack's shoulders drooped a little in dejection before he swallowed in alarm as the other changed appearance. He wished the other would quit disappearing and then reappearing again so suddenly for it was making him very dizzy. He blushed, stepping back a little as the other grinned insanely. "B-but I don't e-even know my way o-or where to begin for that matter," he protested with a gulp.

         Rosalind smiled, "That one looks just fine," she said, and she did think that this Alice was the perfect choice. She was the only one that was alone and she had so much hate and blood lust in her. Rosalind held out her hand to Glathia as she took her back downstairs and into the old breaking down stables. Inside you would've thought of seeing nearly dead horses eating the stables around them, but what was actually inside was a metal and copper chariot with a gold rose on the sides, big enough to hold two people, maybe squeeze in three, and a brilliant mare that had dark fur that was a dark reddish-brown.

Rosalind walked up to her pet and brushed her neck gently, "Glathia I would like you to meet Wild Rose, I found her in the burned the ruins of a barn not too far from here." She paused to help her friend into the chariot, when she got in she put on her face mask and gloves and took up the reins, "Are you ready to go see this lovely Alice?" This was a rhetorical question and so without and answer she snapped the reins and Wild Rose tore out of the stables at an incredible pace.

They flew down the dirt road in the forest before taking a sharp turn to head off the trail. It was much bumpier now, so they had to slow down a little and hang onto the edge, but eventually they came to a stop so that the right side of the chariot was in front of the girl. Rosalind hopped down and then helped Glathia down as well before turning to the girl.

"So Mira Nightsong isn't it?" Rosalind said, "I'd like to introduce to you to the Queen Glathia, but you may call her White Queen, and I am Rosalind Aglaia Redroze, daughter of the current Red Queen," she took the girl's hand, lowering her face mask, and kissed it gently before replacing the mask to where it was. "Welcome to Wonderland." She would've called it Underland as was politically correct, but as tradition calls for she prefers calling it Wonderland, its original title.

         Glathia didn't answer just looked into her cup, seeming to loose her self in her red tinted tea for a bit. Then she smiled dreamily as she finished the last of her tea. "That sounds lovely dear!" She giggled as she looked at the cat and Zack. "Ooh yes I dear say he is!" Then she caught sight of one of the Alices and smiled a little wider. "How about that one?" she said, pointing at Mira.

         Glathia giggled in glee as she watched the two newest members start to wander about in confusion. She was loving this! But there were still... she did the calculations in her head and pouted. Eight more Alices to go! She turned to her 'messenger' with a kind smile. "Do find me 8 more to torture will you? This wait IS tedious you know!" As was to be expected, he did not reply and she glowered a bit. They never had much to say. But then... She smiled dreamily. That was the reason that she liked them. She wondered when the Red Queen's daughter would die... It shouldn't be long now. And then Rosalind would take her place. She sighed. Ah! What a pity. Then she smiled and turned to her card. "Go saddle my stead! I think I ought to pay a visit to Rosalind again!"

She took her place on the large black stallion with a white mane and smiled, sitting side saddle as she broke off in a gentle trot for a lady must never gallop even in battle. Just as a lady should never speak louder then that of a gentle whisper. She giggled again as she set off towards the Rosalind's house...

         Zack swallowed as he trudged through the forest, looking around nervously as he shifted the back pack up higher on his shoulder. He didn't really know who he was any more so he'd just sort of chosen a name for himself. He was walking through the forest nervously, feeling watched. He didn't know where he belonged any more and he was extremely worried. What if... What if some one intended to... He swallowed and shoved that thought away, WILLING him self not to think of it as he walked through the forest, jumping in shock as he heard the 'hoo hoo!' of a bird in the distance. He was suddenly very wary and nervous as he stepped slowly back wards.
