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. ]

Yeah. I'm one of the guides. That's the rules, Alice. So I'll guide you, just don't expect me to do much but the bare minimum!

Where are you guiding us to?

['Alice'. Whatever. Doesn't matter.]

Good question! I already did my part. Brought you here, didn't I? And stole something from every one of you.

[ His eyes narrow as he talks, making his smile seem all the more malicious. ]
bakegarasu: (we all find ourselves)

[personal profile] bakegarasu 2016-07-08 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
Hm. Stealing's not really something I do. Knew people who did it.

[From all of them? He keeps his gaze neutral, watching the Cat with sharp eyes. He can't think of anything he's missing, so it must not be important, right?]

[Right.]


So what are you going to do now that your job's done?

[personal profile] stolenface 2016-07-08 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
I'll watch and answer questions. Since Rabbit can't move, I'll be appearing in the Worlds when you get stuck. Sounds fair, right? 'Cause only I can enter them without Keys.

[ And he's so very amused by Otoha. He's so apathetic. Is there even anything in there? He wonders. ]
bakegarasu: (the lesson today)

[personal profile] bakegarasu 2016-07-08 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
To give us a hint of what to do.

[He's getting it. Maybe. There's a spark of something inside him, but... the Cat isn't wrong.]

How? If you need keys to get in there...

[personal profile] stolenface 2016-07-08 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
That's my role here, Alice. I can move about as I please. Walls and hearts and Doors don't matter to me. Kinda the opposite of how he Rabbit can't ever move.
bakegarasu: (determination of the strong)

[personal profile] bakegarasu 2016-07-08 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
If that's the rules, that's the rules.

[He can understand them. Don't get in the way of someone else's job, someone else's territory. That's just How Things Are.]

Are there enemies?

[He does have a sword, after all.]

[personal profile] stolenface 2016-07-08 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
Depends on the World, now, doesn't it? You'll just have to see.
bakegarasu: (your soul burns brighter)

[personal profile] bakegarasu 2016-07-08 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
Guess I will. ... You've been helpful.

[Should he ask for a name? Or would that be rude? Does he even care? He just nods and heads towards the door.]
