but as I told you... I didn't chase the white rabbit!

Who: The Alices and Clock
What: Open the first door and see what you find. Hopefully it's a key... maybe it's something more.
Where: World One - The Country of Clover
Warnings: General violence and disregard for life.

 '▒▒▒▒▒, you fool... it was all just a dream'...

If she could have thought that to herself, then she might have believed it. Here were the high vaulted ceilings of Clover Tower that she'd grown so used to since the shift to the Country of Clover. And yet her name was still lost to her. She could not think it... could not say it... It was as though someone had stolen it entirely, as odd of a thing as that sounded. That was all she needed to know to prove she wasn't dreaming. Then that meant it was as the rabbit and cat said-- in order to retrieve the rabbit's keys, they needed to enter the doors and the door took them straight into peoples' hearts.

This one no doubt was supposed to be her own. How else could this place be replicated so accurately? None of the others should know a thing about Wonderland. After all... this was her dream. Her messed-up, embarrassing, dangerous... oh no.

Outside the window the forest, the castle and the Hatter Mansion were all as they should be. But what had happened to the others? If they had been split up, there was no telling what manner of characters they might have met. While they should be safe as Outsiders, Clover has never seen any other Outsiders. Like this, there's no way to be sure they're safe.

Whatever's happened - this is no time to be sleeping. She needs to verify what's going on in this world and the whereabouts of the people that entered with her. If this was a true and accurate reflection of the world that she knew, then she needed to warn them of a great many things.

Down the tower stairs she goes... to investigate the fate of herself and those who had gone with her.

The hold-up-- [Qilby manages a smile, but it's strained around the corners--] is that people cannot control themselves.

[Frankly, Qilby's finding it harder to control himself. He could kick himself for not extracting more out of Otoha - not taking his sword and asking all the questions he could. Something in him just told him to get it over with, shoot him and be done, and have him out of the way. Something in him liked how bloody it was.]

[That's a little scary, admittedly.]

[He gets up and dusts off the back of his pants.]
As we agreed, and surely you've known, others' hearts are not the friendliest of places. It's even less so when you're given weapons and a hierarchy.

Well, I did warn you all. Going into these places... that anything could happen. Most of you took my warnings lightly. I told you that it could potentially be difficult. That an unknown would lie before you, and that only the people around you could really say for certain what might be inside themselves.

[ He wasn't joking, you know. ]

Prying open someone's Heart... and the rebound of it being projected from inside the World... the effects can be quite nasty. I do hope you will be able to get my Keys. I will not be able to open the pathways to the remaining Doors without whatever Keys are hidden here.
