Welcome to Gaia! ::

((I certainly hope you are feeling better, Andi. I hope whatever the hospital did for you aside from chemo worked or is working for you.))

(I hope your surgery goes well. All us kooks will be here waiting!)

((Wow another Graduation...Michelle you wanna send me anouncement? I have 3 others that are or have.. It amazes me to know people and knowing they are growing into adults. It is amazing that I have been here for so long. ))

Teaser nodded her feline head, casting a glance toward Erick to insure he was not moving after them, and bounded down the corridor and into Random's surprised arms. At his enthusiastic "Found you!", she calmed greatly. She needn't have feared for his safety, but she was relieved just the same.

When she leaped into his arms, Random cuddled her up as he let loose with his exclamation. "Met card, same number as me!" he went on, "He tall. Mousey girls fun. Want to play. They know castle, we go exploring soon." The helmet's visor fell shut again and his words were muffled, but he went on as if nothing had happened. "When we go out? Castle fun, but like outside too. What sheep count when they go to sleep?"

((I certainly hope the Dormice followed. Random is not the inviting type, he'd just assume that since everyone was playing, they'd follow along. I really hope they'd come along, I do adore them so.))

Teaser curled up, comfortable in Random's grasp. She looked up to Gale. "I'm quite sure the lady Magenta will be busy soon with her dinner and all. Do you think the children would fancy a walk upon the parapets and see the lights of the city?"

Darkness let itself show, coalescing into an insubstantial shadow, kneeling before Mary. "Command me, liege. Your enemies are mine." It hid its smile well, picturing the Kingdoms in flames.

((Actually, I don't know what to do with Zack or Hoot... stare ))

Gale raised an eyebrow at Teaser. "Why would we skip going to dinner?" he asked, pretty sure the dinner was for them all, unless he analyzed something the King said incorrectly. He allowed his hand to quickly return to it's place on his wrist as the group reconnected. He also flipped his vision to heat sensing, he wanted to watch for possible patrol. They had been lucky thus far with the one card. No need to test their luck. As Magenta signalled for them to follow, he quickly turned and followed, though he added to Teaser. "Afterwards though... not a terrible idea, even if only to get the Dormouse company out of this place. Which reminds me, we're going to a dinner with the King himself... Either we'll be testing our luck and his forgetfullness or we need to hide those two," he stated softly to the group. He wondered what their solutions on this would be.

"My subjects know better than to get in my way," Mary spoke as she walked around Darkness. such a strange little creature it was. Perhaps she could use it while she sought out a way to seal it? No, best to have her bandits seek it out while she played house. Speaking of such, she had best inform Haven that his carpets were in dire need of replacment. Stopping in front of the doors to the dining room, Mary raised a brow and the servants scurried to open the doors. They had seen the damage she'd done while in a good mood, they had no desire to incite her wrath.

Erick snickered at his lady's snipped command. "You are new to our household, and trust is hard earned amongst our tribe." Amonsgt the throat slitters and rapists of Wonderland, such a treasure as trust was rare indeed. Erick continued behind Mary, pulling out her chair at the table; the right of the kings own seat. "I suggest you remain silent during this affair," he told the shadow. "Our love knows what she's doing." The fallen knight took up a sentinals position behind his lady's seat. He had eaten earlier and sitting would only make it easier for one to attack Mary. In particular, sitting would make it easier for Darkness to harm her.

Random began to follow after Master and Jeanie, humming an odd tune to himself, apparently of his own invention. He kept petting Teaser as he went, modifying his humming so it coincided with the jingling of his buckles. He kept casting glances over his shoulder, looking for those two new friends with the tails. He thought they were rather fun, and although Jeanie was always the best to play with, Random liked the idea of 'the more, the merrier.' He started to shout after them, but Teaser batted his arm.

Teaser knew that there would only one reason for him to call out behind him. When she batted his arm and he looked back to her with a slightly hurt expression, she soothed, "No need to do that, dear. The girls are fine." Then she remembered Random's many pockets and his strange assortment of odd memorobilia. "Perhaps...." She said to Gale, looking at the deep pockets, "there may be a way to keep an eye on the Dormice and still attend the King's dinner."
