Hanasse​

Out of the hollow of his tophat, he produced a pair of fine-looking emerald gloves, to match with an elegantly white attire. His eyes grazed the space about him, and the many visitors their seasonal festivity had attracted.
Spinning skirts, vibrant waistcoats, and outlandish colours in motion created a kaleidoscopic atmosphere to the place. He took a punch glass from the long banqueting table he stood near to - filling it. The party had not long started, and already everything was in ticking motion as the music became lively and welcoming as the minutes passed.
Hanasse expelled a sigh, lifting the glass to his lips. He had always enjoyed the feel of a party; good ones, like these. Although, back in the day, he would have taken a far more active role in its entertainment - now, he took more pleasure from sightseeing, and mingling amongst the other guests, many of whom he had made the acquaintance of through business and...matters of court. He could identify the faces of one or two of his closer acquaintances too, there's-

In fact, he found it most intriguing when he was able to sight a few of his own ornate headwear accessories scattered about the outdoor set-up that danced with the people who wore them and matched their quirksome personalities. A ruddy-faced, plump-looking gentleman accidentally brushed past the taller individual, who smiled upon recognising the intruder. The man sputtered-

"Ah! If it ain't the Count Hatter himself! Of course, it is little surprise seeing ye here, always n-"
Even Hatter had to admit to himself, there would be little to escape the conversation now. Hatter was one to be social, there was no question. Mr Dallasai was a notorious chatterbox...or at least, the most that he knew of from his fairings about Wanderland. A silent sigh, although he smiled. Already, this interesting individual was sentences ahead in chatter..

"..and I says, how that be then? And he says, well, I got to tell ye, the finest-"

"Well-? How is the wife? Is she here?" Hanasse's eyes scoured the flow of people, searching. Not, that it was truly any of his business. And then...something caught his attention in his far periphery. His head turned back to Mr. Dallasai, although completely preoccupied.

"Maisou? Aye! Aye, yes we've-"

"Mm..Mm..." His differing colored eyes shot a sideways glance, lifting the glass to drink again and conceal his attention. That was definitely what he thought it was....

Boris enjoyed some time in the trees around where the outdoors soiree was being held. He ignored how the branch he was spread laying on bowed down farther than his weight would have pushed it, simply letting the tree feel the burning evil that he emanated to it. That was a normal thing, for him or anyone here to repel its branches and vines, but he seemed to send off the energy stronger than some of the others. It was nothing to complain about, it made it convenient when he was chasing someone to be punished into the Forest or he was finding an Alice, but Joker said it wasn't anything intended when he was created, meaning that he was really evil, not something that the Forest just didn't like, like the jester. He didn't care either way, though. It wasn't like he couldn't go to Wonderland whenever he wanted.

He yawned and leaned against the tree, bored in his people-watching. Oh, I wish Joker would let me go do something. These parties were always so boring. Even though he was good at it, Boris wasn't very interested in wearing a suit and dancing with the ladies, and avoided both successfully most dances, like today. Maybe tomorrow I can see how it's going in Wonderland... he thought to himself, glancing down to the banquet table again, finally finding his maddy hatty buddy, Hanasse. He jumped down deftly from the tree to weave his way to him.

"Hey, Han, there you are!" Boris seemed to appear beside the Hatter, or it could have seemed like he was there the whole time, but neither was true; it was easy to blend into the colors of the people, even if you were a bright pink Cat. "You wanna go by the trees? Wish I could bring you with me out of here, but then we'd both be in trouble with Joker, and that would be pretty annoying." Then he looked out at the spinning people in the dancing area of the outdoors ball in thier bright colors that contrasted with the colorless night. "And I wanna see if I can hide away before I have to dance with anyone."​

 

[Zena_Kuzuki]

An all-too familiar voice to the Hatter broke the conversation - the older, chatty gentleman startling in surprise. Hanasse, on the other hand, barely flinched. Mr Dallasai only responded with a fond, but somewhat disheartened farewell to Hanasse. For that, at least, the Hatter was thankful.

"So it was you then. I thought as much-" the Hatter swirled the dark red juice in the glass, looking into it as he spoke. It was a shame it had to be that tint of colour...the man turned to face his feline friend.
"Up to your usual, Mm? And if you keep talking like that," a gloved finger pointed outwards, "you'll get into trouble. Especially with some of the Nobles here." He had absolutely nothing further to say about any of the superiors from Hearts - his opinions on a particular cluster of vultures didn't even occupy any headspace - and he could only guess that one or two could have attended the party. Tsk.

He produced a short smile, shaking his head. "Needless to say. Fine, I shall go to the trees with you. It's getting quite crowded, even out here."
With that, he weaved through the crowd to place his punch glass on the banquet table and return to Boris, who was clearly eager to escape the masses. He readjusted his hat as he spoke, the same emerald green of his gloves and one of its kind.

"Where have you been, Boris? I've not seen you more than once in the last week, and that's highly unlike you."

Erika Badeaux

Erika was hurriedly walking along a long stone path checking her elegant gold pocket watch every so often. "I'm late I'm late!" she muttered to herself. oh she was always late cursed curse! she stumbled hurriedly along until she reached the entrance. she stopped suddenly and peeked in taking a look around slowley at all of the people from behind a tree. her nose and ears twitched as she ducked out of sight again. She hated crowds and lot's of attention. she often made a fool of herself which meant giving herself attention. She grabbed her ears , pulling them down and shaking her head a bit. letting go her ears sprung back up and at attention. Now ready to go she took a breath and stepped out from behind the tree. she stood still a bit and looked around for a good corner to stand in. Ah! theirs one! her ears flopped back down. feeling a bit less anxious she made her way to the corner.

Finally in her corner she felt like she could breath. she turned with a smile on her face and watched all the beautiful ball gowns and dresses twirl as couples danced. unfortunately for her, at that moment she smelled something she wanted no part of. a Cat. her eyes darted around the room finally they landed on a man in purple who seemed to be sneaking off with another man in a hat..........She had heard of them. though never run into them personally. they stood out to her compared to the rest of the guests. one of them she knew, was a cat.......she hated cat's. but, she decided keeping an eye on them was the best way to avoid them. so in that interest she kept her eyes on them at all times.​

"Ah, I don't care what anything of those 'nobles' think about me. It's not like they can do anything about what I think or how I act. Really, I can do a lot more!" Boris started walking away without saying anything about it, but he was aware that the hatter would know to follow. "Anyways, it just me saying my opinion, and I don't think anyone should be offended by it." Boris slipped his way between a couple coming together for a dance and then turned to Hanasse, still walking sideways but dodging the people.

"Oh, yeah, I've been in Wonderland. There's a new girl over there that, from what the Creators have said and I've seen, might come over here in a few years as an Alice." He said it carelessly out loud, which could have caused a lot of excitement with the people, if they weren't already near the Forest. "She'll make a good Alice, as long as she stays how she is. Not if her mouth grows, though," he said, referring to how she called him a creepy rat when she first saw him. He was not creepy, and he was definitely not a rat. "I never thought that someone would actually call me a rat before."​

 

[Zena_Kuzuki]

"Mm. I can sort of see the resemblance." Hanasse smirked, holding his chin between his fingertips. Although they spoke in private, he couldn't shake the feeling that the pair were being watched, or something of the sort. Most guests were gathered together back at the party, so who?-

"A new Alice, Mm?" The Hatter paused for thought. "We have all heard that one before. Although, it's nice to have some hope for the citizens again. You know what she is doing over in Wonderland currently?"

Hanasse shifted, moving to lean with his back against one of the trees, folding his arms. He knew at least, with Boris there, nothing would happen - the tree parts simply repulsed whenever he would show up. Still, the branches fidgeted, almost uncomfortable. "You've just reminded me. I had the most peculiar of dreams last night. And not the usual one, this time."
He gave Boris a glance, before looking to the ground.

"It's strange. All my dreams seem to be set in all the same place. A completely different feel to that of Wanderland. I've thought on it for quite some time now. I always wondered i-"
His eyes shot back to Boris. "Mm..nevermind. But, there was a girl. We walked a few paces, and stopped over a short bridge. Both of our backs were turned, but I knew it was me. She wasn't anyone I already know or knew."
"Then, I woke up. It's a bizarre one. I'm sure it's all that talk about girls and Alices and whatnot." He gave a sly grin, looking the feline over.

"What?!" Boris whipped his tail as if he was going to hit Han with it. "There is no resemblance! Nothing to even consider!" Really, there was in his cat form, and he knew it, but it wasn't like he was going to ever admit it. "Rats are gross and dirty and ugly and I am none of those! I can't believe you would even say that." He turned away and crossed his arms, but really he was trying to hide a smile. "Oh, I don't know what the Alice is really doing right now, but last I saw her neck was stretched out and she was being attacked by a little bird that thought she was a snake. She's still at the start of the land, so it'll be awhile until she leaves." He noticed how Han had looked out at the partiers. He looked out, too, and noticed that little jittery Rabbit watching them. He stuck out his tongue at her and then laughed, turning back to Han, who was telling him about his dream.

"Hm... does the place give you, like, a lighter feeling? And it looks all nice? It might be Wonderland. If not I'd guess the Outer World, but I've never really been there." Boris looked up a tree and then climbed up in it a little, standing at the part between its two larger branches and half-leaning, half-laying on one side. "Maybe you should ask Joker about that dream, if he doesn't know anything he can ask the other Creators." Then he huffed and glared up to the air, as if by trying to see them they would pay some attention to him. "I know that they never answer any of my questions." Just because he was a cat didn't mean he was observant, and he didn't notice how Han had started saying something but stopped himself.​

 

[Amaya Itami]

Ericka let out a small gasp as she saw the cat look at her and stick his tongue out. Without thinking she hopped up and scurried behind a nearby tree. She peeked out eyed them. What were they doing? It was suspicious behavior if you asked her. Not that it was any of her business but she wanted to know what they were up to. Dumb bunny. She tried making herself look as small as possible and crept closer to the pair going from tree to tree. She took a breath and peeked around the tree she was behind. She heard the name Joker and froze. What did they want with him. Was it sinister? Were they planning a coup d'etat. She had to warn him if that was the case. her tail started twitching and her ears perked up at the thought of having to run into conflict.​

 

[Zena_Kuzuki]

"Her neck? How peculiar..."

He unfolded his arms, casting his memory back to the dream he described. "It was very different to Wanderland, as you say. Almost identical, but different. Who knows...maybe discussing the matter with Joker would be a good idea. Good thinking.." He paused. "It would give me more of a lead too."

"Hm?-" Hanasse followed the feline's line of sight. He had assumed his hunch over being watched was correct. He glanced at Boris, before taking one or two steps towards the scuffling noise of the intruder, and elevating his voice to hearing level.

"Hello? Pardon me- is anyone there?" Hanasse looked about, focusing on a set of trees that clustered together just paces away from them. "We mean no harm, see-" when unbuttoned his white tailcoat and flapped the open fabric, "not armed."

"Wait-" hands still gripping the ends of his now open jacket, revealing a back waistcoat beneath. "Boris, you don't have anything either, do you?" Hanasse's look towards the feline as if to force him to say, *no, Hatter, I have nothing of the sort.*

"We were actually part of the festivities-" Hanasse inched closer. "But decided to get some distance-"

He stood in front of a particular tree. He heard the shift of an individual spying behind the same trunk, on the opposing side. Whether this was an enemy or merely someone taking a curious stint at spying on them was difficult to determine. He had to play his cards well - but it was safe to say that he was telling the truth, they really did not mean any harm at all.
"Please," he placed his gloved fingertips on the rim of his hat, tipping it an angle. "Show yourself."

Ericka froze and her heartbeat quickened when she saw the legs in front of her hiding place. She could hear him very clearly telling her to show herself. She slowley stood up and to her surprise she had to look up even more to see his face. She made a surprised squeak sound and fell back, accidentally throwing her horn away from her ,when she saw how tall he was. nearly towering over her her breathing quickened and she put her right arm up in front of her "D-don't hurt me!" she pleaded. she figured anyone hanging out with a cat must be bad news. She was trying to back away and stand at the same time but it was NOT working out. "Oh i didn't mean anything by spying i just thought you might be low-lowlifes plotting against the Joker so i- oh no i'll be late again to warn him if you capture me here now!" she whined almost forgetting about her previous fear of death

Saying that he had nothing on him was an easy lie. Really, he always kept at least a pistol on him, and today wasn't an exception. "Yeah, I've got nothing here." Then while Han went closer to where the cowardly spy was, there blew the tiniest breeze that let him know who was on the other tree by her scent.

"This isn't a time to be thinking about punctuality," he purred, appearing from the shadows behind the Rabbit. He pulled her up and gripped her shoulders to keep her from running. "I don't think you should be questioning the loyalty of someone that's as old as this world and has the closest contact with the gods. Can do a lot more than what you can with your little horn." He kicked it on the ground, then chuckled, letting go of Erika's shoulders. "Don't get mad, Hattey, I didn't really do anything to her~ She just shouldn't have thought of me ever betraying anyone. After all this time here, I'm hurt, Bun," he said, turning back to the Rabbit. "Do you have any idea what I've done for everyone here?"​

 

[Amaya Itami]

A shiver went through her ears right before she was picked up like a rag doll by the man with fluffy pink hair . tears sprung to her eyes. Now she'd all but forgotten about her giant problem "B-but i'm always late and-" She cut herself off out of fear. He kicked her horn and her hands instantly shot out as if she could grab it even though, clearly she would not be able to. the man let go and she dropped to the floor. She landed on her knees and......face. when she pushed herself up her face was dirty and there were leaves stuck in her white hair. "i-i'm sorry i didn't know you were so old!" she said in a sincere voice. "I don't even know who you are other than a mean old bully!" she yelled and finally burst into tears. Her momentary courage to say that left her body and now she knew she was going to die. She couldn't even reach her horn since the man kicked it away from them.​

 

[Zena_Kuzuki]

"That's enough-"
Hatter walked closer to the pair, lifting the horn in his hands. He rubbed the thumb of his glove against the resin to remove the scuff mark from impact. He returned, crouching in front of the rabbit-like young woman, placing the horn in front of her to take, and then replacing it with his empty outstretched hand to escort her to a stand - still crouched in front of her.

"I'm....terribly sorry for my friend, Miss." Hanasse's differing coloured irises stole a steely glare towards the feline fool - raising his voice enough for Boris to hear, and maybe even to amuse the frightened girl, "He is quite without any idea of basic manners. He may be millions upon millions of years old but he is incapable of spelling 'xylophone'. So pay him no heed."

"Now," after helping her up, he gave a short smile, "about the Joker. You are quite right - it is natural to assume that something underhanded is being colluded, with us two being secluded. But I assure you, we are acquaintances of the fellow. I merely have something to discuss with him."
Hatter brought his hand to the wrist of his glove on the other hand, pulling it down his wrist, before shifting to Boris. A heavy hand would be felt on the feline's shoulder.
"You'll never guess who I'm planning on visiting after the party, Boris. Mm, yes, my small friend in the woods." Hanasse's arm came around Boris' back, his hand firmly pressing the cat's bicep in a 'friend' hug motion- "-and you're coming with me! I decided just now."

He released Boris from his grip, returning his attentions to the young lady. "I quite forgot to introduce myself. I am Hanasse Hatter. And who might you be?"

Ericka took his hand and stood up, also taking her horn. once standing she wiped the tears off her face and watched Hanasse put his arm around the other man. he said something about bringing him to see his friend in the woods. rewarding him for hurting her? maybe he wasn't such a good guy after all, she thought to herself. "My name is Erika....I keep schedules for the rulers and higherups of Wanderland......although I'm not very good at it....sorry...." her ears twitched and she looked down for a moment. "Hanasse....if you're going somewhere i'd like to come, if that's alright." if the cat was getting rewarded then she wanted to be there to ruin it.​

"Old--??" FIrst he was called a rat, and now old. "Save that for Joker!" He didn't have a chance to say much more to this cruel bunny before Han came and committed the horrible crime of comforting the girl. Then he called him mannerless and also old! "Why are you so mean, Hatty? And I can spell that! Z-Y-L-O-P-H-O-N-E!" He found a branch low enough to sit on with his tail and dropped onto it, glaring at the two new best friends. He huffed and closed his eyes to beg the Creators to get rid of that White Rabbit when he felt Hanasse's hand on his shoulder, talking about his woods friend.

"Oh-- oh, I am not going with you to see that thing. I thought you got rid of it instead of dumping it in the Forest! It might have gotten dangerous now because of you! And if it goes rampaging, guess which one of us gets the blame!" He pushed away the Hatter and looked at Erika. "Trust me, you do not want to see who he's talking about. I think you'd scream your fluffy little tail off." He laughed at the thought, and actually hoped that she would still decide to go with them. But Boris still didn't want to go. Sometimes he forced Han to do things, sometimes Han forced him to.​

 

[Zena_Kuzuki]

"You most certainly are accompanying, Boris. Has anything serious happened to you the previous times you have tagged along? Oracle will not be rampaging anyone or anything - except Wanderfolk who insist on behaving like a-" The Hatter chuckled through a sigh, removing his tophat before readjusting it on his crown again.

"You're more than welcome to join, Miss Erika. I'm afraid it's a walk from here, but, all the same."
"You mention you keep the schedules of the superiors in Wanderland, a true time goddess-" He smiled, producing one firm clap. "I can imagine that would be difficult, no?"
"Boris has an important role too. Quite essential, actually. I marvel at how the Joker has managed to restrain from throwing you into the abyss, however." To that, he gave another light laugh, but it was evident he was jesting. In reality, despite their differences, it could even be deduced that Hanasse cared more than he let on for the unkempt feline.

"Now...what shall we go about doing? Have you anywhere to be, Miss Erika? Boris?"

Sasha spent most of the night dancing and twirling, greeting people with waves and pats on the head. But around the middle of the end of the party she started to get a little tired, and decided to stay on the sidelines for awhile. Then she spy'd the cute little time bunny over by a tree talking to the Hat and the Cat.
" I should to go rescue that darling rabbit from those mean old boys" She said to herself as she pranced over to the three by the tree.
" Hey you bullies. what are you doing to my darling Erika!" she said looking at the the two odd fellows.
Sasha looked over to Erika "are you all right honey?" as custom she came over to pat the rabit on the head.

Erika nodded at the hatter "It is! I've got oh so much to remember and oh so little time to hop around for them all, I guess that's why I'm always late."
she paused to think for a moment did she have anything to do? Now let's see a run down of the schedules in her head i guess everyone is preoccupied with the party today so they don't have a schedule! "No no where to be." She paused again "No where to be......" This is the one day a year she's free and she forgot about that too! Suddenly a voice came behind them. She knew that voice. "Queen Sasha!" she turned to see the pretty queen and get a pat on the head. "I'm alright now! the hatter helped me up after the mean old cat threw me on the floor!" She exclaimed.​

When Han said he had an important job too, Boris grinned. "Of course! I don't know how you don't know, Bunbun, but I am the Cheshire Cat. Ever since this world was made I watched over every Alice that came here, in Wonderland or Wanderland, and protected them. Wai-- you're cruel, Hat man!" He resisted laughing with him and glared at him again. Why do I hang out with him? ...I dunno.

"I'm not even gonna try to lie, you know I don't have anything to do." Or anything that Joker can't do. He was able to go to Wonderland as good as he could, so he could let whatever he does in that mansion wait and check on the girl in Wonderland. "But remember I'm not gonna like going and seeing that thing. That you never should have had in the first place! Seriously, that was waaaay off of your role, you're lucky the Creators didn't have me kill you." Then he looked over and saw... oh, no, that Queen of Diamonds girl. He made a grossed out sound in the back of his throat and turned his face away from her. "We aren't doing anything! She was trying to spy on us. You really need to train that little pet of yours." He glared at the trees instead of at the crazy queen, but whipped his head back when he heard what Erika said. "Hey, I did not push you down! You're just way too clumsy!"​

 

[cramskcih]

"ha, old Red would have your head if she knew you harmed the time keeper, and I wouldn't bother re-connecting either, you filthy feline." she said smiling at Boris
"and what thing are you fools going to go see? whatever it is you better keep it out of the Diamond Country." Sasha used her magic to make red glitter rain on the two conspirators and took hold of Erika's arm gently. "We should get going, my dear, you don't want to be any more late than you already are"

 

[Zena_Kuzuki]

Hatter merely shook his head with a smirk, listening to Boris babble about his former companion. It was true, it wasn't exactly in his role. But, it was permitted, to say the least. In all fairness, he's the one who stumbled across it. Finders keepers...not that the creature would allow him to leave, besides.
However, what happened all that time ago - those three fateful days...a momentary shadow removed the smirk. Visiting the creature was really his one remaining thread to the past, and a happier one too.
All train of thought was soon interrupted by Boris' exclamation and the approaching of a woman adorned in fineries. "Queen Sasha..." He practically whispered.
He cast a sharp glance to Boris - as he initiated a bow, kneeling one leg on the ground, head bowed, hat tipped. "Ma'am-"

"We made the acquaintance of your compatriot only a few minutes prior to your arrival. We were discussing our plans for the rest of the evening." Hanasee levered himself, standing straight again, and a good deal taller than the royal, holding his hat down in front of him, moving his hands around the rim. "You have visited from the Diamond Country?"

"What we are going to see? An...old friend. Not far from here, actually. Don't worry, we won't be causing any mischief."
It seemed explanations were futile...the monarch clearly sought after a swift departure with Erika.

Ericka stuck her tongue out at the cat when he called her clumsy. she felt safe enough to retaliate at least a little. "I'm not a pet you flee ridden animal!" she yelled. The queens appearance gave her a very large boost of confidence. the queen grabbed her arm gently and Ericka looked up at her as he Hatter talked about how good they'll behave. "Can't I go with them? You can come too Queen Sasha! As far as i know your schedule is clear today is it not? Oh no did i forget something again!" Ericka grabbed her ears with her free hand and folded them over her face.
