Wonderland

Princess Whisper

Whisper yawned as she awoke, her bed's plushness and silky nightgown enveloping her. She was tempted to sleep in, but today was her visiting day. Not many knew, but she would always take at least one day in the week to disguise and visit the Black Kingdom. The head maid walked in with a list, which was unusual because she was one of the ones who knew. Whisper sat up and the maid bowed, receiving a nod from Whisper. The maid then gave Whisper the list and smiled. "Here's you outline for today, madam. There are only three things on the list. You first relax in the garden for breakfast, then you can go to visit the kingdom and then, when you come back, relax in the gardens with little to no intrusions for dinner." The maid then bowed again and left, leaving Whisper with a smile on her face.

Whisper yawned and stretched, slipping out of bed. She walked over to her closet and pulled it open, deciding not to use the outfit she had planned the day before. She pulled a simple city girl type outfit from a box and placed it neatly on the bed. She then took a quick shower and dressed. She sat at her vanity, pulling an iron out from one of the drawers. Plugging it in, she began to work on her hair. It took ten minutes to get it to the curly pigtail style she wanted and three more to use the strongest hairspray she had. She then put on the small feathered hat that went with the outfit and walked out the door. She walked quietly through the silent halls, her heels making only a small clacking noise. She stepped out into the castle gardens and to a table that already had a breakfast of pancakes with syrup, a bit of salad, and a glass of cappuccino since she didn't like tea. The table had enough room to fit ten people and there were other breakfast items on it for her early morning visitors. She sighed as she ate her food. I wonder who will visit today, even while I'm gone.....

Ethon Mira

Briing! rang Ethon’s alarm clock. Ethon gave it a sigh, before turning it off. He had already begun work, after all. Turning back to the packet of papers on his wooden desk, he continued to work away on the budget for the coming week. The mine’s have a surplus from last time - so I can move some of this budget to the new construction project on the west side of the Black Kingdom... that would bring production up to an all-time high, which would allow our speed to greatly increase.

He turned slightly towards the door as he heard a quiet knock. “Come in,” he murmured, before turning back to his work. The door opened quietly, as his head advisor walked into the room.

“Up already, Prince Ethon?” he asked with a smile. “The sun’s just about to rise.” He threw open the thick curtains of the room open, allowing some of the sunlight to enter. “And working hard, I see? Is there anyway that I can persuade you to take a break?”

Ethon shook his head, continuing to chew on his pen. “The budget’s just about balanced - I can’t stop now,” he looked up when the advisor placed a slice of strawberry cheesecake on his papers. He gave a pleased smile, before putting his pen away and starting to eat his breakfast - he always did have a weakness for strawberry cheesecake. “Is there anything that has to be done today?”

The advisor looked down at the papers in his hand. “Let’s see - today, you have a little bit more free time than you did yesterday -,” His attire was black with silver trimmings, and just like Ethon's appearance - everything was in its supposed place.

Ethon shook his head, before putting down his fork. “Move some of tomorrow’s tasks to today. I couldn’t look at my subjects truthfully if I took that much time off.”

The advisor frowned at him, but continued with his listing of tasks, “You have to oversee the mines, finish balancing the budget, provide a salary for the workers here, and, of course, meet with your subjects today.”

Ethon gave a quiet nod, before handing the now-clean plate to his advisor. “Thanks for the help.” He then turned back to his calculations. “I’ll have my tasks done by noon - we’ll open the doors to my subjects then.” Taking this as a dismissal, the advisor turned and opened the door to leave, “And remember, make sure the doors are opened exactly at noon. I’m leaving it in your capable hands," he called after his advisor. "Noon exactly."

Willow woke with a soft groan as the morning sunshine slipped through the cracks in her blinds. "Ugh..Should have closed those.." She murmured to herself, shaking a lock of her white hair from her eyes. Willow's vision slowly adjusted to the bright light that was shining on her, as her gaze flickered around her small bedroom for a few moments. Hmm, maybe I'll take a walk around the forests today..Sounds like a plan. Willow thought to herself, while easily slipping out of her bed. She wandered about her room for several moments, gathering her outfit for the day while she thought about the places she would go.

After finding the right outfit, taking a quick shower, and makeing herself a cup of tea, Willow was now seated infront of her mirror, brushing out her long white hair. Once all the tangles and knots where out, Willow let a smile come to her lips as she brushed the long tresses over her shoulders, her white rabbit ears easily blending in with them. Willow hummed softly as she slid into her clothes for the day. A black skirt fell to just below her knees, while a bell sleeved top came to her belly button in the front, while flaring out in the back, stopping below her thighs. Willow then slipped into her shoes, grabbed her rabbit and left her room, her tea cup in hand. Once she was outside, Willow looked around, her gaze wandering off towards the Gold kingdom, before flickering back to the Black kingdom at her left. Hmm... Shrugging her shoulders, the young girl turned to her right, begining to wander through the woods of the gold kingdom.

Willow wandered through the forest for a little while longer, a soft hum leaving her lips. Willow really loved walking through the Gold Kingdoms forest, it was so beautiful to her. I wonder..What shall I do today? Maybe I'll visit the Black Kingdom after this..Hm..Or Joshua..I wonder what Mr.Hatter's up too. She thought to herself, before pulling pulled from her thoughts by the very person that had just been on her mind. Turning around, Willow allow a grin to take place on her lips as she looked to the Hatter. Miss Willow! Might I ask you to join me for tea this afternoon?Joshua questioned, tilting his head just a bit as he took another sip of his tea. Willow let a quiet laugh leave her lips, nodding happily. "I'd love too, Joshua. And yes, it is a very lovely day. The weather is just right!" She replied her grin still in place. "But for now, I was wanting to finish my walk. Care to join me?" She questioned as she tilted her head slightly, looking up at her friend. While waiting for him to answer, Willow let her gaze drift around the forest, watching as the wind blew through the tree's.

"Why is a raven like a writing desk?" Willow repeated the question, tilting her head slightly as she pondered the answer. She mumbled the question to herself several more times, before a light frown drifted across her lips. "I..I can't say I really know Joshua. Have you asked anyone else?" She then replied, while tilting her head back just a bit to look up at her taller friend. Willow continued walking alongside the Hatter, her small white rabbit swinging along at her side as she held onto it's arm, her gaze drifting about the beautiful scenery they walked through. Slowly, the frown that was present on her pale pink lips, turned into a small smile. Willow had become rather relaxed as she walked through the forest with her friend.
