Fandom Alice in Abbadon

IllusiveShade

Your regular shady illusion
In wonderland, a happy and careless air hung over the place, and everyone seemed to be goofy, happy and carefree. Even though the red queen reigned her hard commands, everyone seemed unconcerned of the happenings.


That was how it used to be. That was how it used to be, back when Alice was a child, the world shaped to her childish ideas, and created persons from her mind, she had made up. The only problem was, it continued to alter it. And as Alice fell into depression in her later teen years, the world changed drastically. The once colorful wonderland, filled with cute and lovable characters everywhere, had vanished. In its place, a grey husk of what once where had taken its place.


Wonderland has made a 180 degree turn, and all our once bellowed characters have become our oposite selves. And to add to the chaos, the depressed and suicidal Alice mind has created far more dangerouse creatures roaming what once was wonderland; createurs, even worse than the jabawog or the bandersnatch,


in her depressed state, Alice fell into wonderland, but this time as a feared creature of darkness. Can you find her in the land of winders? Or will you perish, as so many brave souls already have?


The red queen is dead, long live the red queen.
 
(In case you didn't know, I am the surrounding, as opposed to being a character.)


It was a normal winter day, early December. Alice was walking down the lane, walking to her school, as she normally did this time of the day. The big clock tower, old Big Ben, were glooming over the city of London. A drop of rain hit Alice head. And she looked up as rain fell like bimbos from a B-17 bomber under a carpet bombing mission. She quickly ran into cover in a nearby alley, where she leaned her shoulder against the wall.


All of sudden, a sharp pain in her neck stunned her body, and she fell over limp. And the world faded out into blackness.


The next thing Alice knew was the bright and acidic colors the shaft had. The shaft in which she was falling. Downwards. Fast. In fact she was falling so fast, she wondered for how long she could fall, and if she would fall out the other side of the earth.


(Alice please continue this, and the rest, start at a location in wonderland that you find to be good for a starter, but do try and meet up with each other as soon as possible. Thank youn^_^)
 



Alice

The hole seemed endless. Although Alice had done it all before, she proceeded to scream. Down she went, her golden brown hair whipping wildly above her head. And just as she'd expected, she began to slow down midway. Objects were floating around, just as they had when she was but a little girl. But this time, the objects weren't cheerful or simple things she had remembered. A rocking chair, somewhat like what she remembered, but faded, broken, and covered with blood. It was moving back and forth as if someone was sitting in it, but at unthinkable speeds. A rope with a noose was lashing at her, as if tempting her to wrap it round her neck. She screamed bloody murder, as if anyone could hear her from above, or even down below. The rocking chair floated over to her, forcing her to be seated in it. Amidst the shrieking the chair rocked her back and forth at violent speeds. After what seemed like a torturous eternity the chair tipped forwards, sending Alice falling at the same rate she had before. And then she hit the floor. However it was a much harder fall than she had remembered as a child. Alice stood weakly, her hair tousled and her navy blue school dress dirty and stained with blood.

Avari scoffed at the sight above him. It seemed as though Alice didn't enjoy his little fun ride back down here. His eye twitched in annoyance, causing another gear to spring up in his imagination. His golden eyes glimmered out of the hole's darkness that Alice had fallen in. "Looks like your time is almost up, dearie." He came into the light holding his pocket watch in his hand. He clicked it closed with a small smirk on his face before popping it back into his pocket. Everything is on time...for now, he thought. Avari looked at Alice directly. "You might want to hurry up a bit, Alice. You don't want to be late." He cocked his head to the side at that last part, thinking about the many ways his scythe had dismembered those who had been late in the past. It would be a shame if Alice's clock ran out so soon. He giggled at the thought before disappearing back into the shadows. He had a schedule to keep up before the ticking started up again. "See you soon...Alice," his voice whispered from the darkness. The outline of a rabbit mask could be seen in the darkness, the glowing gold eyes standing out until there was nothing in left in the shadows.

"There is a place.. Like no place on Earth. A land full of wonder, mystery and... Danger.."


The wood creaked under the hatters boots. He continued to mumble to himself mumbled to himself, with a strange box in hand. He turned to a small dusty table and blew the dust away.


"*Cough* *Cough...Hack..Cough* Stupid box..." The Hatter played around with the odd object in his hands. "What's the matter?" The sound of a disembodied voice sounded behind him. " Twas nothing Alise.."


Tarrent accidentally pressed a button on the side of the music box, and a few seconds of the gears moving, a melody began to play. "It works.. Atleast something works in this h&+$#hole... Alise, would you care for a dance?" The Hatter turned to the motionless mannequin, sitting peacefully in a tattered chair. "Of course.." Hightopp slowly and carefully picked the mannequin up. As if the mannequin even moved by itself, they were dancing around on the half broken, half rotten stage, one of the things Tarrent had built as the darkness began, he had nothing else to do.


(yes... I'm making symbol swearing, because it kinda fits how somebody would write form the hatters perspective... Right?!...Right...)
 



Alice

"Little white rabbit? Is that you?" Alice asked inquiringly, but he had slipped into the darkness, leaving her questions unanswered and her head spinning. "Wait!" She called, stumbling after him. The darkness slowly faded around her, and Alice found herself in the familiar room she once had. Only the walls, normally a bright yellow striped wallpaper, were covered in bloody hand prints, as if someone had been brutally murdered on the wall and stabbed in the back repeatedly. Shivers traveled down her spine as she looked around the room. "Hello Alice." The sudden voice startled her, making her jolt back. She looked around, and then it hit her. The door knob. Alice looked down, and there she saw the small door, and the golden knob with a face. Only it was not the whimsical face of her childhood memories. The eyes were an eerie glowing dark red. "Sorry to startle you." Alice shook her head, blinking a few times in surprise. "It's not trouble at all." She said, her English accent strong and apparent. "I must get through, please." She begged. "I'm afraid your much too big for that my dear." The knob's voice sounded invading and sinister. Alice didn't like it. She didn't like it one bit. Then, memories brought back the bottle, and of course, the key. She wouldn't make the mistake of forgetting to take it with her this time. Alice held the key in one hand, and took a small sip of the bottle. The flavors of cherry, and pineapple she was so fond of invaded her senses. For a change she felt something reminiscent of her younger years. Not tainted with evilness. Alice unlocked the door, and found herself, in a place she didn't even recognize. Not from her childhood, at least. She saw blood on the tree branches, which didn't have leaves, the flowers were black and their stems an awful dying shade. The air smelled of mildew, and it wasn't the crisp spring weather she'd so loved. What had happened? "Rabbit!" Alice called, starting off into the forest. He must be in here somewhere. He is, or perhaps was a rabbit after all.

 
Cheshire suddenly appeared on the Hatter's table looking into a cup of tea. He breathed in the tea's smell. He crunched his nose and backed away. "My, my, Tarrant, you've got quite a taste in tea I see." He said, smirking. He then looked up at the mad man. "You have got to stop talking to yourself. It's very..." He paused and grinned, showing a row of yellow, sharp teeth. "Unhealthy. Why, people will think you're mad." He chuckled, placing his head on his paws.


 
@Sigismund
 
Tarrant frowned as he heard the familiar voice. "Excuse me Alise.." Hightopp placed the mannequin on a nearby chair and turned to Cheshire.


"Aren't we all mad here Cheshire? The entire world is in ruin, I highly believe that I'm possibly the sanest of the insane here... Not that it is saying much." He jumped down from the stage and moved over to the large tea table. "And what brings the guide of all the wicked things?"He said with a light chuckle himself. ".. Tea?" he suddenly asked, and promptly without waiting for the answer, reached under the table picking out a pot and cup. "Sombre times." He muttered and poured tea into two cups. "Hardly anyone comes for tea time. Alise and I do get lonely.."


@UnwantedTruth
 
Cheshire laughed a little. "Believe me, Tarrant, you are definitely not the sanest. Even I'm more sane than you and I kill people for fun." He chuckled to himself a little. "I don't expect you get much visits. After all, you're best friend is a mannequin." He stared into the hatter's eyes as if looking into his soul. "I came to discuss more important manners." He then lowered his voice to a whisper. "She's back in wonderland."


 
@Sigismund
 
The cup in Tarrant's hands fell ever so gracefully down, breaking on impact on the table, letting the tea spill. Hightopp's eyes turned a hue of yellow. "Eheh.." He sneered. "So.. She finally returned.. How many hours, days, YEARS!" The yellow in his eyes had completetly replaced his normal green eye color. "Well.. So many missed tea times, and what will it bring.. MADNESS I TELL YOU!" The Hatter swiftly went on his knees infront of Cheshire. "She cannot be back.. Not now. No.." He hastily got up and got up on the stage. "Well Alise! I bid thee adieu! Stay stafe, and don't drink all the tea!.." He reached for something on the mannequins neck. "Can't forget this.." He opened the watch. ".. Yes.. She is three days early.. Or maybe it's two days late.." He closed the lid and locked it with the key hanging besides it on the chain.


"Cheshire.. Do you know what happens when Alice returns?.." His eyes color slowly turned back to the dark green color. "A lot of bad stuff.. That's what." He gave Cheshire a wicked smile, but only shortly before returning to the slight frown. "She's not safe.. I hardly think she even knew the consequences." He took his hat and cane from the chair at the end of the table. "Some say to survive this place, you need to be as mad as a hatter." He stepped foward and looked at Cheshire. "Which luckily I am.. Now, we need to find the lost girl or die trying."


@UnwantedTruth
 
Cheshire grinned and chuckled. "You're a sad old man, Tarrant Hightopp. A sad old man that she won't recognize." He laughed to himself and disappeared. He reappeared on the lap if the mannequin. "A sad old man that she will run from. A sad old man who will terrify her. Can you see her eyes widening in fear and shock? Can you see her running away? Can you see it?! Can you see it?!" He then laughed hysterically. "You're not the hatter she remembers. And you're not the Hatter she wants."
 
Tarrent cocked his head "No I am not! But I am the Hatter she needs. You shum-juggling sluking urpal." He looked over towards the forest. "And there are far worse things in that forest than me.. And you. While maybe not as mad as me or as devilish as you, there are things that will try and get to her." He shook his head. "I've been sitting on my chair for many years, Cat."


He grimaced. "I'm a sad old man in a sad old and highly unstable land!"


He bowed down and stared into Cheshire's eyes. "And you Cheshire, is a mangled, ugly Mongrel, and you need a bath."


Tarrant raised himself to his normal posture. "Now... I highly think it's time to end this tea party. I must be off and so should you Cheshire.


If it is her, she will hopefully remember me, if not then atleast I'll make sure she get to somewhere a lot safer than the Tulgey Woods."


@UnwantedTruth
 
Cheshire glared at Tarrant. "You know I dislike being called cat. And if a monster does approach you, what are you planning on doing? Making it tea? Or perhaps playing dead. You will die if you don't come prepared." He then held up a noose. "If you're planning on heading into the woods, take this. It's a much easier way out than being torn to pieces by a beastie. Take it from me." He grinned, stretching his paw with the noose to the Hatter. "Unless you're willing to ask for my help. Of course, there comes a price." He chuckled.


 
@Sigismund
 
Tarrent starred at Cheshire and the noose. "You know me too well to think that I'd fall into that, I'd been one too many times close with nooses and executions to just stop now." The Hatter swung his cane. "The small and weak either run, but I do have to accept, with things far worse than the Jabberwock, Bandersnatch, Snarks and what not else that was here before it all went hatter."


The Hatter looked around his tea party. "But unlike them, I've been here long enough to know my way around, maybe not as good as you, Cheshire. But I am the MAD HATTER!" He shouted out, with a hint of cheer. "And haven't I lived to this day? Do you not question the fact, that my home is open.. A windmill, the tea table, the theatre stage.. The music, my manic yelling." He smirked to the cat. "It's a merry magical mystical mystery! Is it not, Cheshire? Why haven't any beasts fouler than thou come to end my life? Unlike you, who atleast I can call.. Friendly acquaintance, no?"


 
@UnwantedTruth
 
"The rat has come out to play! The rats come to play! The bats come play! The bats! Hats! Hats! Hats! Top hats!" Mika giggled carelessly singing at the top of his lungs as he skipped through the forest. The lyrics becoming more weird and disjointed as time passed. Cackling he pulled on some of the dead braches. Some blood splattered off and aimed toward him. Stumbling and twirling he dodged it wildly singing. "Not today! Not today! I have an appointment and must look nice for the mice to play!"


By now the words didn't even make any sense to him. Can you blame him though after all he's mad. Just a tad. A tad mad! A tad max! Hahahaha! Giggling he swung around back the way he was heading just as something or someone came running. He cackled as he fell back onto the dead ground from the force of someone hitting him. His tail flickered and his one eye flashed blue as he gazed up at the sky though it was slightly obscured by golden brown hair. What pretty clouds all dowsed in brown. Like spring suns in daisies.
 
Blood splattered against another tree as another body was sliced open. The body fell to the ground with a thump. "Messy. Messy. Messy," Avari muttered under his breath as he lifted his scythe out of the lifeless body before him. The creature had gotten in his way so he had taken care of him. The scythe was covered in blood, making him grimace. He liked his toy to be to clean; however, the mess had been worth it. The ticking had gotten worse since Alice had returned. Rubbing the red off with his handkerchief, he thought about her return and how it would effect the place around him. He began to walk away from his mess, dragging his scythe behind him for a few minutes before turning it back into his pocket watch with a small flash of light. Avari gazed up at the sky with sad, contemplating eyes behind his rabbit mask, thinking about Alice. He had lured her into the woods like before, but now the place was different. More dangerous than before. Avari's composition changed as fast as it had before, changing into a sly grin and bright eyes once again. She'll be okay on her own, he thought without a care, after all. She's Alice. Avari went about his way again deeper into the dark forest as he skipped joyfully, singing to himself as he went, looking as innocent as a newborn baby. A dead body and blood splatters being the only indication that he had been there.
 
(Holy crap! People, I think one of my friends, probably Noah, posted on my account! Ignore what just happened!)


 
Cheshire leapt onto the shoulder of the mannequin. He wrapped the noose around it's neck. "So, now that Alice is back, you won't need a doll, will you?" He asked, grinning widely. "So, do you want my help, or don't you?" His eyes glowed.
 
The hatter turned to the mannequin and the cat. He raised his cane and pointed it at Cheshire. "Would you... Kindly move away from Alise." He said in a low tone. "Unless thou want to be castrated you mammering lily-livered gull-catcher, gorbellied iron-witted lout, spleeny pox-marked waterfly, puny sour-faced puttock! Thou art a mongrel botch of nature!!" The Hatter's eyes had turned fiery orange "i doth not wish thy help thou Flibbertigibbet" Tarrant slammed his cane on the ground. "Ye are nothing but ado, Cheshire." He took a deep breath. "And there is truly nothing you can help a madman with."
 
Cheshire chuckled, dropping the noose so it dangled like a necklace on the lifeless mannequin. "You're a sad old man, Hatter." He disappeared and reappeared on the tea table. "You're going to die out there. You never told me what you would do if one of them approached you. Once you're in the forest, you're food for them. The only way to accept that fate is to bring an expert. And what better expert than yours truly." He grinned, and his yellow teeth showed clearly. "I don't think you want to take the risk of dying before you see Alice again."
 
The Hatter calmed down, he moved up and took the noose from the mannequin. "I know.. I know you're better than me than me when it comes to the forest.." The hatter threw the noose away. "But how could I trust you? What would stop you from actually leading me towards danger? Or astray? And your price.." The Hatter's eyes turned back again and he sighed heavily. "But do I have a choice? Maybe.. I can fight..I am after all the Mad Hatter.. But it is true.. I cannot fathom being able to survive by nightfall. "


He shook his head and looked at the cat. "But you cannot aid me if one of these many beasts do come for us.. Or rather.. Me." He reached under his coat and pulled out a cup of tea, with a single sip he looked back to Cheshire. "Very well.. Name your price, Cheshire.. I will consider it.. But do not forget, you're by my home, your tricks and lies mean nothing to the Mad Hatter as long as you're here."
 
Cheshire grinned widely. "It's less of a price and more of a...promise. Do not tell Alice you're the mad hatter. Say that the mad hatter died. It's the only way." He chuckled and took a sip of tea. "And throw in the location I can get some of this tea." He grinned widely and chuckled.
 
Tarrant looked confused for a moment. "You want me to not be the Mad Hatter?.." He pondered it for a moment. "...And what if she finds out, what if she do remember me?" He mumbled more or less to himself. "I can survive for long, have I not? I may not have wandered far through the deep woods.. But I cannot.. 'evaporate' like you.. But I can fight and I can be mad.. But Alice she.. She might not live through the forest." With a long sigh he nodded, slowly taking of his hat and placed it on his chest. "Very well Cheshire.. I will not tell Alice, that I am the Hatter.. If she remembers me, then it was without my intentions.. A heart as pure as hers, I will not doubt it.. But only time will tell..." He placed his top hat back on his head. "And I grow and brew my own tea, you gib. There is nothing like homemade tea. Lavandula angustifolia, Rosa rugosa, Coriandrum sativum.. And many many more." He looked towards the Tulgey Woods. "Is there anything else.. In your.. 'deal'?"
 
Cheshire grinned. "One more thing. Change your clothes. No one but the mad hatter has such bad taste in style. Instead wear..." He disappeared and reappeared on the stage, with a suit of armor on a mannequin. "This. Be her knight in shining armor." He chuckled.
 
"Change my clothes! Bad taste in style?! Says the talking cat with fur! I this jacket in blue, grey, brown and purple, six laced shirts with puff sleeves, pink, violet, lavender and blue! With a little touch of green. 3 vests in one red and brown, another in red and pink and the last patterned black and white! Hats! MANY HATS! Fingerless cotton gloves, normal cotton gloves. Pants, wool with lace, and a few other pants here and there. A kilt because why not!" The Hatter paced back and forth continuing his rambling. " Leather shoes, one with orange inside lining and red shoelace another pair with red inside lining and black shoelace! Silk bow-tie a few assortment of coloured ties and the red tattered scarf, which I am wearing now as you can see... Now where was I.. Oh yes! Cotton socks, thirteen different colors!"


Tarrant started counting his fingers, while speaking even more madly. "Pin cushion ring with pin a few different ones. Thread bandolier with 50 bobbins! 25 ribbons, four pocket scards a siccor pocket with gods know how many sicssors, hat pins! Hat scarfs! Thimbles!.."


He coughed and took a sip from the cup he miraculously was still holding in his hands. "A-hem.. As you can see, Cheshire.. All my clothes are the same in the full glory of colors.. Why change so much? You can't go back to yesterday, everyone was a different person then! Hehe.. " The Hatter shook his head. "So I do not believe a change of clothing.. Will do much more than make me more colorful.."
 
As the Hatter and Cheshire Cat was arguing, the wind seized to blow. The air whent stiff and cold, and an odd silence fell upon the grounds of Hatters "residence" as the two continued to argue. It was silent, until a small thud shook the trees. A few leafs fell off, or rather, they popped off the branches of the trees, but stayed mid air. It was as if time itself stood still. Nothing moved, say for the two arguing figures at the table, whom both still hadn't noticed the oddity.


Another thud, this time louder, and not only shook the branches, but shook the ground itself. It was as if someone had dropped a very heavy needle, that still only made the sound of a small one. The vibrations could just as well had been an earthquake, and no one would have been the wiser. It didn't seem to dominate from anywhere, but was omniscient, like an aura that vibrated anything in its vicinity.


And there it was. The creature responsible for the scene created. A massive husk of flesh and cards. It was an ungodly creature, sown together by the limps of lost souls and dead cards, the red queens guard. It howled at the two, sounding in what could easily be mistaken for thousand of voices, screaming in unison. The beast towered above the two, easily being 5 times as tall as the Hatter, who was already a tall man. It started moving towards them, it's ominouse vibe slowing all dead things around it.
