Cheshire nodded to the man, knowing previously that his name would be Random. He hadn't seen how though, so this was interesting. He chuckled slightly at the OCD male and then returned to Rin and Rabbit. He smiled gently back at Rin for a second, seeing that she was okay. Then he turned to the White Rabbit to hear his reply to Rin's questions.

((Four-to-one, counting Okami. He's quite proficient in combat himself, being a spirit wolf and all biggrin ))
Baron, Ranger, Mage and Okami, after the lengthy battle with the Jaberwocky, staggered around the forest, until the happened upon the meeting between Cheshire, Rin and the White Rabbit.
"White Rabbit? Could it really be you? After all these years...I thought you were dead..." Baron said.
"Who's this fella then? Hmm?" said Ranger, and then he noticed the ears protruding from under the rabbit's top hat. "Ah...so you must be the White Rabbit...I see now"
"Amazing...so the rumours were true, you aren't dead..." Okami said.
"Hmph, he's nothing special, I could toast his pretty white fur with a click of my fingers..." snorted Mage.
"Mind your manners, Mage!" barked Baron. He was annoyed enough, after the lengthy fight with the Jabberwocky, who was far more tougher than they expected. "Seriously, didn't Ronin teach you any manners in that god forsaken shanty!" he added, hoping that would shut him up.
It didn't
"Teach me manners? I'll teach you manners!" Mage yelled back, and the familiar spark of fire crackled within his hands, and an almost perfect sphere of flame suddenly appeared in Mage's palm. He savoured the moment of fear in Baron's eyes, which were soon replaced by cold, steely resolution. As Mage launched the fireball directly at his face, Baron simply stept to the side, and the fireball clearly missed him.
"You've still got a lot to learn..." Baron said, shaking his head. Suddenly, it dawned on him that there were actual people in the vicinity. "Pardon my brother for that little outburst, but he's a little immature. So anyway, what's up?" he said, all the while glaring over at Mage, as if daring him to charge another fireball.
((That's it for now, hope it's enough >.<))

Cute_But_Tough724 "Yes, Bella. I'll be fine, though I need to make sure the rest of our men are. Meet me back here in an hour, we should both be done by then." Alexander said to Bella. He bent his head down and kissed her reassuringly on her forehead. After the peck, he ran towards a group of cards to ask what had happened.
"Alright." Alice said to Andros, taking his hand. She was a bit nervous, but remained calm on her outer demeaner. 'I'll be okay, I'll be okay...' she repeated in her thoughts, trying to get herself to feel better.
((_Sorry for the short posts, writer's block is attacking me!))

The White Rabbit sighed as he finished his small work-out, straightening out his clothes.
"Once again, my business is solely mine alone. They have nothing to do with you."
He looked slowly at Cheshire.
"An unfortunate connection with that stupid cat forces me to act in our current situation."

Izzy was beyond mad at herself. She had stopped running and was now sitting on a high branch looking out over the forest towards the lake. Tears continued to fall from Izzy's face, but she did not sob or make any noise. Everything was quiet for the most part.
"Nice to meet you Hoot. I am Ace and this is Jesta." He smiled as he said her name, just the sound of it making his toes tingle. "So your new to Wonderland? That seems to be happening alot lately..." Ace apparently missed the part about him being in a new body or else it just didn't register in his mind.
Ly looked up at Alice questioningly. "Have you hit your head...There has never been night..." Ever since he was little, Ly never knew that there was a such thing as night. His parents never really wanted him to know, so they could protect him. More or less he becomes a totally different person, well more like he just loses his personality, and would go about the next day as if nothing ever happened.
"You offered it right before the battle was over! I didn't even have time to respond!" Mark was not up for silly games. His anger from night had not died down, but instead it had gotten bigger.

Bella felt his kiss and sighed at she walked away from Alexander. She entered the castle and headed down to the field. She got down there and went straight into the medical tent.
Aleera saw the creatures attacking the castle... she drew her sword, she had to defend her king. She dove down, ready to attack. She suddenly noticed that all of the creatures were dying... or killing themselves... she was taken aback by this... She froze, trying to figure out what happened. It was probably the new swords...
The king looked down at his cards, they had won. He turned away just in time to see Bella still had her hand in Alexander's... He bit his lip and then returned inside, planning what he would do for his revenge.
Andros was glad Alice had trusted him enough to take his hand and follow his instructions, it made everything so much easier. He opened the door and saw that there were no creatures and no king... he continued to walk, trying to stay silent.

Random found a stump of one of the sheared trees and sat on it. He looked at all the folk talking and the new group that had met them. Cheshire and Rin had exchanged the pretty looks. He no longer wanted the ears, everyone watched the ears, the ears knew things. But of the three with the ears, only Cheshire heard. The Madkitty was busy with being herself, and the Rabbit knew a lot of things, it seemed, and acted like one of his doctors. He conferred with his kitty and clutched it close, drawing himself up on the stump, looking over his knees. While he listened to them,he suppressed a giggle, then laughed out loud. "Rabbit knows how the trick is done, where is the magician, Rabbit pulls the cat out of the hat, can't tell the trick, trick told isn't a trick anymore!" He rolls off the stump, enjoying the jest and laughing uncontrollably.He didn't get the punchline, but the joke was hilarious.

Baron was taken aback by the rabbit's response. What could have happened to him for him to reply like that?
"Um...Oh, well, yes. He does that to people." said Baron, trying to break the silence a little.
Okami lifted his nose to their, look a long, deep breath through his nose, and then turned to Ranger.
"Ranger...something is in the air. Can you smell it?" he asked. Okami could smell something vile and putrid, like a corpse that had been in the sun for too long.
"Aye, I can. It smells like...like..." Ranger said. "Mage, what word am I looking for?
"Why would I know?" he whipped back, and then he turned to Baron. "Hey big bro, if your so smart, tell me what that smell is?"
"Why don't we ask our good friend Cheshire. He always seems to know whats happening." he said.
((Hopefully, that should lead into something. It could just be Okami and Ranger's noses playing up, or it could be something bigger, but I'm just opening some options up, so we can play around a bit. Can someone explain to me what's happening with Cheshire, Rin, Random and White Rabbit at the mo? I'm kinda KoNfUzEd))

((Rin just got her body back. First her inner demon took it, then white took it to free her from herself. White rabbit.... well even I'm about to find out there as to why he was helping, i have theories, but thats all at the moment. Random is laughing hysterically aat his uttering of well... random logic. That's the easiest way to explain it. It's deep, yet odd and out of the ordinary. Are you good?))
Cheshire smiled towards the rabbit, almost mischieveously. "It's what friends do for each other," he stated.
"You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead,
And you're miles and miles from your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said,
Boy, you've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me," he sang, sliding over to white and wrapping his arm around his shouldar.
He then turned to The Brothers. He closed his eyes momentarily as he searched out the problem. He found it to just be the making of weapons, from Myria and Aria. The metal, while still being metal, had come from a leader and so it gave off this rancid smell during it's molding time. When it was cold and hard, it's smell would die. "That's just Myria and Aria. They haven't bathed in awhile," he jested. Opening his eyes and chuckling. He also heard the outburst from random and found it amusing himself. He laughed lightly before returning his focus to Rin. "You're alter ego seems to be gaining power... even off spirits," he commented, dangerously serious. He also noticed the Izzy thing. He attempted to link minds with her, not wishing to strain his powers to create a double. 'Izzy, oh Izzy. Shhhh,' he whispered mentally seeing her tears in his mind. She would feel a light hug from a mysterious friend.

"You idiot Okami. Even the Cheshire Cat can figure that one out." Ranger said.
"So...Cheshire Cat...White Rabbit...some random guy who laughs at silly things and a cat with a bad case of multiple personality disorder. This is greeeat!" Baron said sarcastically. "What's wonderland coming too?
Ranger looked at Okami, who was deep in thought.
"What's the matter bud? he asked.
Okami seemed to snap back to reality.
"Hmmm...Cheshire, may I ask, are you familiar with the Queen of Hearts. No, sorry, I mean her grave" he asked.
((Hoping that could lead into something. Go ahead and be creative.))

Rin wasn't exactly satisfied with the Rabbit's answer, but she knew that was about all the information she would get for now. The sudden arrival Random, and the three musketeers felt quite unsettling, as were their comments; all of it was simply annoying. With the demon suppressed, it was easy to act like her old, cranky self; and the appearance and blatant disrespect was just what the fire needed to burn. Only when Cheshire's serious tone broke the air of stupidity did Rin manage to focus her attention onto him. What was she supposed to say to him? "I'm sorry I'm doing what I said I would do?"
The Rabbit was right, she was feeding it too much, but there was no other option. At least with it locked behind a seal, she could be herself for a little while longer, but like a balloon slowly being filled with water, the more she fed, the more strength it would take, and eventually, it would release itself upon the world for Wonderland's heroes to conquer.
With Cheshire's antics pulling on Rin's last impatient nerve and his split mind trying to balance between what was happening in front of him and whatever else it was tending to, Rin decided that she would stay out of his focus until he decided to devote more attention; not that she really needed his attention at the moment, since all there was to do was rest up, then continue picking off the dark madness of Wonderland.
Without a word or even a second thought, Rin turned from the group and walked into the shadows, disappearing without a trace. She didn't need Cheshire's worry, the Rabbit's scorn, Random's babbling and the stooges idiotic rambling. She would find solace and comfort just from observation within her own dark space, if the situation interested her enough.
"Thank you, Sir Rabbit. I'm afraid I am in your debt; even if you were merely paying a debt of your own. If you wish to find me amongst quieter company, then I will be available without question." The White Rabbit would hear in his thoughts before silence ensued. Even if the Rabbit's plots were possibly against her, against Cheshire, he still managed to perform a dangerous deed in her stead. Even if he merely needed her stable for his own games, the fact that he had given her, her mind back was enough to give him even just a sliver of trust.

Josh heard the faint sound of Izzy's footsteps stopping, he slowed down and continued more cautiously, "Izz..." he called out, "Izz.. talk to me" he was just passing beneath the tree Izzy was sat in..
Jesta grinned at Ace then smiled sweetly at Hoot, signing her curiosity as to his meaning of 'new body' and curtsying in response to his bow
((thanks ^^))
Aria and Myria arrived to see Alice up a tree and Ly and Mark shouting at her, Myria was going to help but Aria held her back"she can handle herself[" she spoke, blank faced.
The twins continued to look around, and seeing a new figure with Ace and Jesta they walked over, "hello, we are the twins Aria and Myria, pleased to make your acquaintance" they curtsied, "and you are?"
"what are you on about Ly? It just WAS night, the ghosts and everything? come on!" she smirked, before turning to look at Mark, "what made you so grumpy?" she asked, "jealous or something?" she giggled

Alex didn't like being away from Bella for long. So, he carried his business quickly. "Whoever is injured, please go to the medical tent and those who aren't, please tell me what occured just now." Alex said to those who were by him.
Alice followed, staying close to Andros. If she made one peep, then there was no teling what would happen. From frieght and nervousness, Alice couldn't help but hold his hand a bit tighter.
Dain was tired, though, he was still in his crazed state. The kill thrilled him and though he had done damage already, he felt as though he needed more. The adrenaline pumping through his system only worstened his mood. Taking a shaky step foreward, he began to make his way deeper into the forest. He loved fighting different creatures and he was sure to find something interesting in there.
After ten minutes of the sound of his cane hitting the ground, Sir Masquerade heard saw a girl crying. The sight automatically reminded him of how his dear Queen of Hearts cried because of the wrong that the human Alice had caused her. 'It is her! I must find my Queen.' Dain thought eagerly, as he hobbled quickly towards the girl in the tree.
Once Dain had reached the girl, he frowned. It was mearly the Hatter girl, not his Queen. "Damn... Why must I be tricked yet again?" Dain muttered angrily.

Bella didn't feel comfortable being far from Alexander... she had been with out him for a while and now she was afraid of losing him again. She worked on healing the men as more and more came in. This would take a while.
Aleera saw the creatures attacking the castle... she drew her sword, she had to defend her king. She dove down, ready to attack. She suddenly noticed that all of the creatures were dying... or killing themselves... she was taken aback by this... She froze, trying to figure out what happened. It was probably the new swords...
The king looked down at his cards, they had won. He turned away just in time to see Bella still had her hand in Alexander's... He bit his lip and then returned inside, planning what he would do for his revenge.
Andros looked at Alice and nodded. He looked around as he spoke, "Close your eyes, please... the light may blind you." He pulled out his sword and felt the squeeze of her hand. He bit his lip, not wanting any noise to escape.

((Stop trying so hard Shiro Shino. smile ))
Cheshire disregarded the wolf, Okami. He saw Rin leave, he would need to discuss her monster with her, there had to be something he could do about that thing. Then he bowed a swift goodbye to the rabbit and the trio. "I leave you five to get well aquainted," he quickly added before vanishing off. He awaited a response from Izzy, but could see that there were plenty of people with her as well. He went to Rin. "My dear," he whispered when arriving back in his realm. In thier realm. "I'm glad to have you back," he added quietly from the shade, wanting to be seen and wanted, but unsure if he was the latter.
