Azazell & Reino

@;~ Scarlet disgruntled glared at all there in a very threatening manner as Reino punched Azazell once more, finally eliciting the reaction he wanted. Azazell brought up a arm to block with trying to knee him. Only to find himself promptly let go of and a shine in Reino's eyes the made the evil he was shudder. "What have you done this time you b*****d?" He said as spitting blood onto the deck of the ship, than wiping his mouth. A low laugh came from Reino's mouth as he shared his thoughts with him. Cauisng Azazell to laugh out loud deep and boistrous in his rich baratone voice.

@;~ "You like it I take it? Is it worthy of us doing that? I mean it is a risk we take, a major risk." Reino said in a jovial voice. Azazell nodded his head in acceptance as he stood straight up just as rain began to splatter down on them from teh heavens. The sky darkening quickly as a storm brewed heavy. Waves began to rock the ship violently as if it was a toy. "Well I would suggest that Lady magenta name her second, and Mistress mary name her second for this challenge. Because once their seconds are named, we shall take them to the island ourselves and the contest will began.. BUT and I stress this.. THAT ITEM never LEAVES the island...That is part of why we will make sure it is broadcasted for all who want to watch it." His voice soft, smooth and dripping with excitement, and hoping the cat would enjoy this as well.

@;~ Both turned to the ladies in questions bowing at the same time, arm extended as they awaited for the ladies to claim their second to help them on this quest. For who the real queen of hearts, and ruler of wonderland would be. This was a monumental thing and of great interest.. Because marriage would be involved.

Random found a room full of barrels, all smelling sweetly, a mix of aromas of all sorts, that was dimly lit. He curled himself behind some of these, forehead resting on his knees with his hands holding the back of his head. He was trying to maintain, but it was hard with Teaser struggling to hold Darkness and trying to calm him at the same time. And Darkness was not helping, cajoling him, making him remember the sights of Jeanie and Haven, of Felicia looking at him with wide, haunted eyes as they took him to the quiet room, the last time he had ever seen her, when one of the white clad nurses, uniform almost glowing brightly as an angel, had so softly and sadly told him what happened to Felicia. He was addled,unable to get his mind focused.

Teaser had never in her existence hated anything before. She accepted the way Random saw things and was fairly buoyant and willing to accept most things as nice and interesting, the way he did. But she hated Darkness, this little usurper that seemed intent on destruction. She knew Random had the capacity for it, every creature did, but as long as kept him in his playful little fantasies, he would remain the lighthearted side of the chaos coin, the random events that kept life interesting. Now, however, this beast of entropy, of destruction for destruction's sake, had come to bear, and although it played for control of the boy,and played hard, she knew it feared her. It swirled in the outer reaches of his mind, its face, a horrifying shade of Random's sweet smile and doe eyes, faded in and out as it circled.

"I'm here to stay, you b****." It hissed."You've known I've always been here. You thought you could keep me out forever." It laughed, a harsh, dark ringing laugh. "Funny, isn't it? I'm here because he cared too much. He needs me. He wanted me to slice open Haven's throat and hold his head back as the red red kroovy flowed out of him. The same red that flowed out of Felicia. And with me, he can have Jeanie. And any creature he desires. With you, he gets to hold her hand as they dance with imaginary unicorns in make-believe strawberry marshmallow fields." Then it shrank back at a wave of fury from the feline big sister personality.

Teaser made a sudden surprising lunge, her superior personality thrusting Darkness back. "He didn't know anything of such thoughts before you." She spat. "You are a beast, a thing that crawls in the night on your belly, trying to worm your way into a home so you can taste a hint of warmth. I would tear you to pieces if I was not afraid of hurting him. Slink about in your blackness all you desire, but know this: Before me you rightly tremble...." Her eyes darted about, sensing, looking, feeling for Random. She couldn't keep this splitting of herself up for long. Even the psyche grew tired.

Random was breathing heavily. He closed his eyes and tried to solve puzzles. But they were all confusing... block tiles melded with jigsaw pieces, chain links ran through word games. The harder he tried, the faster they ran through, almost small little bursts passing as he flew by them. His head ached. He wrapped his arms around himself like the jacket used to bind him, just like when he was in the quiet room, and rocked,singing lullabyes to himself. The puzzles slowed. But then the pictures came. Pictures that his hand made in his head, but drawn by Darkness. He wanted to cry.

Sahari knew the book that Anna spoke of, having once read the book herself. As the house's keeper, she often found things that had fallen through and she rather loved reading books that happened to materialize around the house. Sahari wasn't supprised by the girls knowing of the book. No what supprised her was the mention of White in her world. She chuckled. "Yes, this is the same house. But it is also very different from before. Still it is basically the same. I could tell you some stories about the Real Madd Hatter if you'd like?" She waited for the girl's reply, having already thought up the greatest story to tell her. She turned as she heard a soft knock on the door and was once again supprised. There, next to Ly, was White. Since Sahari first 'inherited' the house, she had only seen the Rabbit once. And that was at the funeral. "Why hello White. Its been ages. I take it your not here on a social call."

Ly nodded to the Rabbit and led him to the room where Sahari was talking to Anna. He knocked softly on the door to warn them that he was there before going in and handing Anna her cup of tea. It was a bit akward being in the room so he stepped back out, but he was still by the door.

Random screamed, a tortured cry of innocence lost, and as Teaser comforted him, Darkness asserted itself.

His face turned white, as it had before, but now, the spade bled, dripping down his cheek in streaks, and the cats that made up the six over his other eye became skeletal and horrid. It flexed its hand as it stared at it. "She will look at me, boy. And I will have her. And she will want ME. Sit back, boy... Watch me take her."

Random struggled, but as he fought, Darkness took a huge drink of the flavored rum, and appeared to drink more, dulling Random's response.

Gale and Posiedon heard Mary's partner become named, but they both looked to Magenta/Cyrillia. Curious who she would choose. She had so many choices. Jeanie- her servant, Gale- the tactic, Posiedon- the post King of Hearts, or maybe... a less likely choice...

((LIKE AZAZELL OR REINO!!!! XD

Or A Drunk Random! XD ))

Azazell & Reino

@;~ When Mary named her second, Azazell's eye twitched very noticeably as he reached into the shadows rummaging around. Not caring much for the man named, he found him through the shadows as his tanned face became a slight yellowish color from his exertations. "Sorry you uncouth boy, but your mistress has called for you. So come along right quick and be presentable this time." He muttered under his breath for Erics ears alone. As he grasped the man and yanked hard, pulling quickly and rapidly through the shadows to land on the deck of the ship.

@;~ Reino noted the color of Azazells face and pursed his lips into a thin line but said nothing. This was highly amusing on many levels, because he was sure nothing like this had ever happened in wonderland before. But also he was enjoying the ensuing chaos as it happened. The rain and thunder storm that was tossing the ship was almost soothing to his soul at that moment. IT did disturb him to some extent that chaos was bringing him this comfort, when he sided with the rabbit. Bending over he looked at the man called Eric the Red as he held a hand for him.

Memori

To what truths do we need to attain,
xxxx And for what reason or cost should we attain these truths?



@;- Memori snapped her head up at the Cheshire Cat's words just as the world began to change around them. The magic's smell was strong and the tang of it definitely reeked of the Cat's Chaos to. Only proving him right about who he was. When he let her go she stood there on her wobbly legs and stared around as heat began to slowly creep back into her bone marrow. Being human wasn't something she would never like being. Slowly she took a few steps towards the fire and placed her hand on the wall besides the left side and bent down. It was warm, and she reached in with her free hand like she used to with her claws to touch the flame. And with a gasp of shock she pulled it back looking at the now red blistering flesh, that sang pain through her nervous system.



@;- Fire had never hurt her before, but in this weak fleshy body it hurt and badly. Looking at the hand she spoke softly, "I want to return to what I really am. I also want to learn who did this to me, and why. Some how if things in wonderland Cheshire has twisted that you have evolved like I have then it will be a long and arduous journey." she said turning to look at him and continuing speaking, "So what it is that you would want of me. If I recall rightly, you always had a price from your help, and cryptic advice... Name your price.. and I will do my best with this weak, sad excuse of a body to pay it... and Don't be thinking perverted thoughts you male egotist." The last said with a smile as her amethyst eyes bored into him.

Fate is a cruel mistress to all who live,
But also teaches us the lessons we need to learn.xxxx
