Round 1 Introduction Hub Log
Who: The Alices and the White Rabbit.
What: What: Everybody wakes up on the first day of the first round inside the World's Hub, greeted by the White Rabbit, who seems largely unimpressed.
Where: The World's Hub.
Warnings: Rabbit is gloomy and has a bad temper and tends to complain a lot. Otherwise, not much.
You entered a closet. You knew that much. You woke up from... somewhere, and you entered a cupboard or a closet and you followed a strange cat with golden eyes. You blink. You feel assailed by the feeling of your body falling somewhere, the sound of heavy machinery--
And then darkness, before... a wooden pathway, and another cupboard, and a boy in a hood. A cat-boy, with golden eyes, much like the one you followed. He cackles gleefully at everyone before disappearing with a meow. The cupboard behind him is locked. Past this area, you find yourself in a strange room of ruined, cracked cobblestone and oddly-shaped lamps. Dead trees line the path. There are old tombstones scattered about. A gloomy boy with black twigs for hair and strange eyes, dressed in fancy, Victorian-looking garb stands in the middle of the room. There are others like you about, you notice. Not TOO many more, but a fair few.
Something about the boy's eyes carry a dreadful feeling. They're red on black. No whites to them at all. He has two white rabbit ears on his head, but one is distinctly torn off, like something had just taken a bite out of it. He looks at those assembled, cocks his head to the side, as if... curious for a moment, before shaking it and then sighing.
"... Ah. Welcome, Alice." There's a pause, as if he's assessing what he's doing. He particularly stares deeply at Clock. "... Oh? No, not at all... well, you're still ▒▒▒▒▒ to me."
A nod to himself, as if to confirm it.
"More pressing... I have a task for all of you. If you could help me with it, that would be most appreciated."
[ OOC: Feel free to respond in either prose or bracketspam. Also, Cheshire will probably have a thread later you can reply to as well. For now, this is the opening log to badger the NPC with questions. ]

I heard that. It's not a costume. This is my actual face, you know.
[ And if you were to look behind him, you'd even find a rabbit's tail sprouting out of his pants. ]
no subject
It's not Spirit's Eve yet.
[That is indeed a tail though. Hmm. And this place didn't exist where he's from.
He might as well go along with it for now.]
What task?
no subject
[ He huffs, placing his hands on his hips. ]
You must get my Keys for me. With the others, Alice, you're the only ones who can. So go get them.
no subject
So you can't get the keys on your own.
[Maybe the bunny kid was a wizard. You know, the really powerful one who sends other people on journeys to do things they could do faster.]
You're sending us on a quest to get them for you?
no subject
[ He says it matter-of-factly. ]
Because I cannot. And you have to. If you don't like it, I hardly care. If you stay here, you'll waste away to nothing. Humans can't live in the World. Only us guides.
no subject
Waste away? What are the keys for, anyway?
no subject
I should think what I mean is obvious, Alice. You would die. The World is openly hostile to people like you, you know. Being in this environment long enough... well. You hardly want to know what that would result in. It's unpleasant.
The Keys unlock the doors in the room behind me, that led to the hearts of those who end up here. Normally they're locked and all is quiet, unless that stupid idiot leads some stray wandering buffoons in. Like you. And them.
no subject
is that word even still in use?Who is the "stupid idiot", anyway? The cat?But the idea of dying, even in what... might be a dream, does in fact sound unpleasant.]
Okay. Fine. Where can I find these keys? [The sooner he finds them, the sooner he can get away from this bunny kid.]
no subject
It is with them!He'll motion to the door behind him. ]Back there. I can unlock the first door. You'll need the others to help you. I cannot tell you where the Key might be hidden, probably inside somewhere important to the person whose Heart it is, but... well. Good enough. A pleasure working with you, Alice.
no subject
Sebastian.
[He's going to head for the door behind the rabbit, though.]
