Thread: only but a p a c k of cards ! [mintiexmidnight]

What a strange strange turn of events. Evidently he had never seen someone grow before, despite knowing for a fact that everyone had to grow. It was only logic. The flowers grow, the trees grow, even the caterpillar had grown, right into being a dainty, mildly questionable, butterfly. Come to think of it, Alice could consider herself a butterfly, blinking lightly when he stated that he didn't recall her being as attractive, folding her soft arms over her chest and announcing, Well you weren't too attractive either. With the fact that he used to be an obese, round cat with a neck problem, she figured the difference was highly noticeable, but apparently it wasn't. Not to the cat anyway, while it was boldly noticeable to her. Only out of the depth of her curious mind did she wonder if everyone else in Wonderland had gone through their stretch of differences as well. Such a thought only caused her to be excited. Right up until Cheshire began to explain the situation that Wonderland had been left in. The natural reflex to look behind him when his own eyes glanced over his shoulder, Alice decided against asking what he was looking for, figuring it probably wasn't anything good or he would have had that stuck on stupid grin of his. Her eyes remained in their natural size, deciding against speaking until he was finished, though when her hands ventured to her neck, she could only imagine how it felt to be in such a situation- Wait, she had almost been in that situation, almost having had her head rolling around in a basket like it was something simple and normal to just go about cutting off young girl's heads. Crazy woman. Her eyes then deciding to grow at the list of the poor souls that were used as examples to the situation, knowing that the casual fact to point out? It was her fault. She hadn't been in Wonderland in years, and with that having occurred, Wonderland had drowned itself in turmoil. She was now in a decision of whether or not that was a good thing, was it a good thing for her to be there the first time? No, probably not, but she had gotten out of the situation alive. Now how was she going to get out of it this time? Tilting her head to the side when he announced that she could help make things better, she wasn't entirely sure she knew how to make things better, though it did perk up her mood that someone had missed her being around. Had Cheshire missed her, she was curious to know, tempted to reach out and jingle the small bell around his neck though resisting because that was not the mannerly thing to do. H- How do you expect me to make things better? Dammit. There he went again, disappearing all over the place like he was just going to leave her there to get dragged through the forest by a deck of cards. Of course he wasn't going to answer her question, her lips pouting softly up until he reappeared and further down the pathway, her feet that had been stopped in their tracks picking up speed, heels clicking over the occasional rock on the pathway. Fun?! She repeated, hating how he was persistently switching his emotions around, from serious to giddy to solemn to curious. This was going to be a giant headache, from her current analysis. Catching up with him after the second 'come on', Alice let out a soft breath of air, crossing her arms tightly over her chest because it was just rude of him to rush a young woman and not take the time to make sure she was close behind him. Well, his appearance may have changed, but he sure hadn't. Wretched cat. I do so hate being late , Came a voice, out of the clear blue, this voice was meek though audible, the sound of something thumping occurring shortly after said words, before being followed by more words, Being late isn't great for my fate will be, a rather headless one. A rather headless one indeed, another sound of thumping before slender ears caught sound of a jingling. Jingle, jingle went the cat's collar, moving her petite body to hide behind a tree, curious more than she realized she was late, catching sight of that very cat and a pretty girl. Pretty pretty girl, human? Human like the Hatter used to be, yes. She hadn't seen him in quite a while but that was ever so irrelevant , no what mattered now was the kitty and the pretty girl. listulistulistu
