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. ]

no subject
[ ... He'd been very fond of them... he supposes. Fairy tales, perhaps? Adventure books? Something like that. ]
There isn't anything like that here, though. Just the things conjured by people's Hearts. Those things are ephemeral; they do not last. I cannot touch them.
no subject
[...well that settles it.
So things from inside of those doors were out of the question. Then...]
...but if it was something from my world, it would be fine, right?
no subject
Even then... I try to stop people coming in.
[ This is all he need focus on; there's little need to care. ]
It's fine. I'm comfortable as this is.
no subject
[Wonderland didn't have many Outsiders either, but they didn't seem to dislike them. But if it could lead to things like this, then she could see how one might not like outsiders getting in.]
no subject
[ It's the honest truth. ]
no subject
[That... doesn't sound good.]
Well, if we hurry, it shouldn't be a problem, right?
[She is not failing a fetch quest in her dream, no matter how weird it is.]
no subject
[ If you die here, you die for real. ... Probably, anyway. ]
I cannot say how much time you have, of course. Such things are relative in a place like this. But I would not dally. And do not think you can do it alone, either; you will need the other's help, since it will be all of your Hearts that, like as not, might contain the Keys.
