The area was new to the hatter, as indicated by the change of screens, and the repetitive nature of the background didn't help collect her bearings. Up until fouof saw the bent tree and figured out this was where she would get her next side quest. The cheshire cat greeted her, and fouof sort of wished that the cheshire class had that ability to go invisible instead of the magic-user of the game.

It would have been so much more fun for her. But alas, she'd chosen the mad hatter and now she had to deal with it, and as if to emphasize this, she stick her tongue out. The cat continued on its preset prose until the question of a story or riddle.

fouof just nodded. And the cat seemed satisfied by this.

Attempt 2

"What kind of plant grows but never dies?"

What the heck kind of riddle was that. Lady just sort of stared at the cat. "...I don't know. Pass. Can I say pass? My answer is pass." She grumbled. Lady didn't have much of a green thumb either...

"The answer is poison, thick and prevalent in the heart, it will poison a soul for eternity and then move to the next."

Lady just rolled her eyes. "Whatever, My turn."

Nope. The answer was death. He didn't want to look stupid by asking what the jack it had to do with 3 legs, but he squinted at Gabriel Santiago with a skeptical sort of he's making that up, isn't he.

Well, no matter; it was his turn!

"In the night, we wake and in the dark, we see: black as pitch, you'll be caught but you'll never catch me. What am I?"

"A hellhound, of course," it said.

hellrisen was just stuck there. His mouth was slightly open. He gestured wildly between Gabriel Santiago and the Cheshire Cat, making incredulous sounds.

"My riddle sucked! How did it know that? Cat, you're awesome! For a cat, I mean. Awesome for a cat. "

"What's blue, fuzzy and incredibly annoying?" Lady spat as she watched the 'cat' twist about on its branch. It paused, just watching her for a while. And then finally, after what had felt like forever, when really it had just been five minutes, the cat answered. Lady couldn't stop the grin from spreading.

"You. You are blue, fuzzy and incredibly annoying."

The cat sat there, almost like it was sulking. "A surprising twist, but I love surprises. You are quite the clever one, and for that, you deserve a small prize. Just this time, of course, just once." And then all at once, it was gone, leaving the girl to cackle in delight.

It launched right into its riddle this time: What is flat but with a sharp edge? Well, hellrisen thought: sometimes words were sharp, but he didn't think they were always flat.

And of course, he thought of hunting, of skinning catches: cute, tasty catches. Rabbits, maybe? He did love rabbits. Rabbits were delicious. He was the only one who thought so; his family would definitely frown on him for chasing such pathetic game.

Still, he said: "It's not a knife, is it?" He looked up at the Cheshire cat with one eye, the other squinted shut, as if afraid of the answer.

Rocker wandered into the forest and stopped when another tree started talking to him. "A story or a riddle, huh?" He was starting to get into this dream game thing. "A riddle, I guess," he answered.

"What can I hide but always find?"

He blinked a bit at that and thought for a minute. Grumbling he pulled his hat off and ran a hand through his hair. "Cadence where the hell are you? You're better at this s**t than I am..." he mumbled mostly to himself.

"Right! What can I hide, but always find..." he sighed and looked around for anything that might be a clue. And then he saw the answer.

"Your shadow!" he replied, quite proud of himself.

"What can chew you but never swallow?" the Cheshire Cat asked, this time. hellrisen stared. You'd think he would know this one, given how many times he likened things to tasty snacks or not tasty snacks. Edible creatures, like that cute ghoul, were fun to hunt and fun to--

hellrisen interrupted that thought to say: "Is it... that tree at the beginning I saw?"

"You know what, I know that answer was wrong, so I'm just going to run now," he said, "I'll see you later, okay?"

Hellrisen ran around, back into the woods, and resurfaced approximately where he figured Gabriel Santiago would be.

"I suck at riddles. Where to next?" he asked, offering his arm as if he was going to escort her: the talks-a-mile-a-minute hatter was smiling and humming to himself as he waited, rocking back and forth.
