Who: The Cheshire Cat and whoever comes across him
What: Cheshire Cat has appeared, as he is wont to do. He's even fishing!
Where: Jabberwock Island, beach
Warnings: Cheshire is being Cheshire, and thus cryptic and mindfucky

[ Some time after they open the music venue, beach house and the ranch, Cheshire can be found on the beach. Sort of. He's waded into the water, and is fishing with his paws. Sitting patiently, he seems to be deep in concentration. ]

No. You can't. So don't be stupid, either way.

[ That's all he has to say on the matter, trying to stifle another yawn. Of boredom or something else, it's hard to say. What a lazy Rabbit. ]

[not_that_sasuke]

I'll try not to.

[...]

The "real" Alice-- will they be important for getting out of here?

[apatheticguide]

No. You have to get the World Key.

[ A simple answer. ]

[not_that_sasuke]

Then what is the real Alice supposed to do?

[Is it some particular role, or...]

[apatheticguide]

I need their help to open the Door out.

[ That's all. ]

[not_that_sasuke]

Will we be stuck here if they can't help you?

[apatheticguide]

Yes.

[ Simplistic answer. ]

[not_that_sasuke]

Even though you just said they weren't important for leaving?

[Please clarify, Rabbit, it's hard to understand when you give short responses like that-- says the equally quiet ninja kid.]

[apatheticguide]

If you wanted me to clarify, Alice, you should have asked a different question. They aren't important for leaving. They're important to leave. You will understand later. Rather than burden yourself with this, I would suggest focusing on the remaining World Keys.

[ ... It's clear he's not going to answer anything further inquiring about it. And... was Sasuke's confusion that obvious? Maybe. Maybe not. ]

[not_that_sasuke]

[Well, he managed to get a little bit of information, at least.]

Sorry. It just sounded important, that's all.

[He is not actually sorry.]
