Welcome to Gaia! ::

And Raze would have certainly agreed Dread can rock the pink outfit. Alas the sentiment was never spoken out loud and shall remain within the narrative.

Instead, she placed the chosen cake in the basket and walked side by side with him until they came to the tablets with the constellations. Once there, Raze leaned closer, keeping her voice to a whisper (and not a stage whisper where the intention was to still be heard while pretending the opposite) "I think it's supposed to be symbolic and junk? Just go with whatever you like best."

She nodded in approval at his choice of constellations, but hesitated for hers. She wasn't sure if she wanted the Queen or the Knight, both were in the King's court but both had different connotations to them. In the end, she decided, "Knight for me."

As bitchin' the idea of being ruler and getting to boss people around was, Raze decided for a wedding, loyalty to one's liege was probably a much better meaning. "And now we'll head to the hardest part," she said solemnly.

Raze seems to have a better idea than he does about the constellations, so he just hopes the dormouse doesn't decide they have a horrible future together with torment and death awaiting (a la Harry Potter fortune telling) and therefore the quest can't be completed.

No such warning comes, however, so he feels safe to move on to the next section.

"What's the hardest part?" he asks Raze as they walk, wondering if he should worry. He then spots the sign that reads: FEED YOUR SOUL.

"What," he says flatly. On closer inspection, the box next to the sign is filled with trinkets. Another symbolic junk thing, he supposes. Whatever. When in Rome Wonderland...

He reaches in and it seems like one item almost leaps into his hand: a small silk sunflower.

"Do I give it to her?" he asks the dormouse. It's pretty, the sort of thing to go behind an ear or in a buttonhole. But the dormouse squeaks a negative, so he holds onto the flower and waits for further directions.

Nearly dropping her basket, as she watched and followed along."O-oh.." She frown a bit, feeling somewhat dishearten. Looking over the many cakes, she choice the butter and bread with jam. Placing it carefully in her basket and walked along to the next.

She stopped for a sec and blushed, eyes a bit wide open "C-cutie!?" She looked up at him, then turned and gave a fidget like pout. Her ears droop down "Well... no... i mean... i wouldnt mind..." She mumbled at the comment of a contract with him

WarQueen just...yes, she just smiled and bared the burden of the bear on her shoulders, giving a firm nod of affirmation when he asked if it was time to go yet. She had already been nudging him not so subtly or gently towards the entrance of the teacups, eager to get this little farce over with as quickly as possible, and then possibly find a nice lake to dunk her partner into, in hopes of sobering him up a bit.

Not that he wasn't quite amusing like this. And slightly more affectionate as well. But really, they needed to focus here! Something important was coming soon and they had to be prepared.

Going along with him inside, she glanced at the first table with all of it's cakes, giving killsteal a disgusted face when he began just...shoving everything into his mouth at once.

"Barbarian." She muttered, but it was impossible to mask the hint of amusement in her tone at the word, as she shrugged her way out from beneath his arm and let her gaze wander over all of the cakes present, fingers moving to pluck at one in particular that...well, it reminded her of insanity, really, and she had a sudden sort of morbid curiosity as to what that might taste like.

Metallic, apparently, with a bit of dizziness added on at the end, making her feel faintly ill yet giddy at the same time. With a small shake of her head, she picked up the cake and put it in her basket, not wanting to sample any others and feeling still like this one perhaps best represented her. Behind them, the dormouse continued to jabber, but WarQueen had gotten very used to not listening to every voice that nattered on in her ear, or those that whispered in her head.

The next table took even less thought, her hand going immediately to the tablet depicting a queen, with a longing look taking over WarQueens gaze. It was not a lust for the woman depicted, no, but for the power that such position held, that drew her in. She placed that tablet carefully in her basket, before reaching out to link her arm around killsteal's, waiting for him to be ready to go on to the next station.

Finally, a heart shaped box. Shikoba...killsteal.....seemed at this point to have just given up on putting any thought into this at all. She gave him a sharp jab of her elbow, and a glare. "Fake marriage though this may be, I would still appreciate a little more....consideration from you." She hissed, arm leaving his as she began to sift through the contents, hand closing around a rough, cool rock, before picking it up, inspecting it, and very seriously wondering if bludgeoning killsteal with it might bring about a favorable result.

Another small shake of her head, combined with a sigh, and she let the rock fall into the basket with the other items.

"Sure more human sacs. Are those your vows to me?" She asked, with eyebrows raised. "Come on. Lett us get this finished with, then."

Watching and examining what he was doing, she turns her attention the different names written on the small tablets "Hmm..." She pondered, flickering her tail. She reached over and touched each one to get a feel of them. Soon picking up The Dormouse

Turning once more towards him, she blinked a bit "I-i don't think i am...?" Wondering what he meant by 'fleet of foot' something she well have to look up later it seems. Her eyes widen, smile brighten and wagged her tail even more "R-REALLY!?" She nearly shouted "That's so awesome!" Hugging her basket close to her, still smiling "So so! That's why you have flames about you" She looked him over.

"Im a Zenko Kitsune" She explain happily, looking up towards him

"Yes!" he spread his wings and materialized his claws. "In the real world I'm super scary. I can make fire balls and bend fire to my will." he grinned at her tail flicking back and forth as he put on his best intimidating stance.

"A kitsune huh? So you must look about the same in the real world. Well good maybe I'd recognize you there. Once we beat the game." they would have to beat the game, it was the only way out.

He rummaged through the box wondering if he really wanted this world to end. It had some many good things, Olivia wasn't afraid of him here and this ghoul... just wasn't afraid. "I play under this user name a lot so if you ever see me in another game, hit me up." his tails wiggled and he came back with the things he wanted for the ring.

A half-used candle, A bag of some sort of herb with a Cheshire Cat drawn on it, A matchbox filled with paperclips, A jar of rainbow candies, A dead battery, A hat tag, labeled with an impossible fraction.

He carried them over and put them in the tea pot and waited.

Raze nudged Davey with her elbow, "You gotta put all of it in," she whispered. "Even the cake. I don't know why but eh, trippy, weird-a** Wonderland rules."

She demonstrated, taking extra care in making sure everything fit, Raze placed the lid and waited. It wasn't long until her teapot produced her ring and, well, she wasn't sure what to make of it. It was a simple, plain band, made of what looked like steel but something about the heft suggested a more precious metal. Platinum, maybe?

It wasn't a bad-looking ring, somewhat plain though, in her opinion. Until she held it to the light and intricate runic carvings in all the colors of the rainbow glinted on the surface. Nope, not plain at all. But now that she looked at it, she noticed the ring was thicker than the bands for women but not too thick to be those intentionally chunky-sized.

Maybe she put too much stuff in and she got a man's ring instead?
