Kenta was looking about him and saw the shadows start to move. He stopped and looked around. This.. wait! He was in reality! What was happening? It was like that dream all over again!
The shadows condensed into two figures and a door. He stood and listened to them, wondering what had happened. Had the dream that was supposed to be over not ended?
"This is your doing, and it must be your undoing," the violet-cloaked figure begins first. "Your idle desires have called out to her, given her more purpose than she originally was."
"Which is where the problem lies," says the paler, almost skeleton-like figure, "Everything must be done in moderation. You have gotten too dependent to her, and she has gotten, for the most part, too dependent to you. She is at your beck and call, always waiting and giving you the dreams-"
-"And nightmares-"
-"That you wish or do not wish to see. She wants to be remembered, but you are giving her so much, she has forgotten what her original purpose really was. She is creating entire dreams out of your reality and forcing you to look away from the truth, further and further away from what is actually happening as she continues to spin fantasies catering to you."
"An obstruction in power is dangerous, especially for us. The only way to stop it is for you to relinquish your control. You need to ground yourself and remember which parts are real. If you don't, the next time you will asleep and not wake up again."
"And most importantly," said both figures in unison, "you have to send her back to sleep."
"She'll be fine," the skeletal one says, "that is where she belongs. Not in the waking world, but just in the world of dreams and nightmares. Only then can they truly stop being dangerous."
The door opens.
He groaned and stepped through it. First the two insane queens and now Alice was going insane and power hungry?
He was supposed to be enjoying open house and moving in! Beyond he saw Alice, the same as ever, but with the shadows beneath her feet twisting and writhing.
She shrank back as he entered. "I know why you're here, but I don't want to. I don't want you to leave me. I want you with me at all times. I learned so much in Wonderland and I can help you, I can help you change things, I can give you everything you want. All you have to do is sleep and never wake up, all you have to do is sleep and stay with me."
He shook his head.
“No. You can’t give me what I want no matter what you do. All you can do is make dreams. I can’t live on dreams.” He said with a wry smile. “Go back to being a dream; dreams are best left to sleep, giving people hope and allowing them to struggle through reality. But a dream cannot take the place of the waking world.”
He gripped the string that clung to his arm and ripped it.
String: 9/10

As he tried to stride forward, he felt chains holding him back. The strings weren’t puppet string anymore, now steel chains bound him and dragged him down. He growled and struggled back to his feet.
“You.. are a dream. Stop …interrupting …. my life.”

He struggled and staggered to his feet. Casting a glare at her he tried to get his mind under control. She was just a dream. Dreams had power yes, but he wasn’t about to lose to it!
He was going to go to the school, make friends, learn stuff, and enjoy his life. He was not going to get stuck in some dark dream world at the beck and call to some Alice who couldn’t let go! Losing people hurt, that he knew, knew all too well. But you had to keep on going; you couldn’t get stuck in the past.

Then the chains vanished and he staggered. About him was once more that scene he’d seen in the Caterpillar’s den. Or had he actually seen it? Maybe that too was a lie, a dream to make him want to stay here. Family; the family he knew was his but couldn’t remember. The family who had come to see him but once after he’d been found. No. He shook his head and slashed with his skeletal hand across the image. This was fake! They hadn’t looked at him like that! They’d left him! His family, the one who acted like family, was the Skeleton, Loran. The one who’d pulled him from the water!
His bone hand hit and snagged on some puppet strings, growling he ripped them and the image to pieces.

As he strode forward once more another scene, this one a nightmare washed over him. Water, dripping clinging water everywhere. He shuddered and staggered as a string, once more a chain, wrapped about his ankle and pulled him down. He gasped and closed his eyes. No, this was just an illusion, fake like the family had been.

He shook off the feeling of drowning, being consumed by the water. This... was… Fake! He was in Amitty Ville, walking the lawns with that nice girl Meixang who was giving him a tour of the school!

String 0/10 FREE
He bit down on the string that was a chain grabbing his foot and tore it off before standing once more and taking a stride towards Alice menacingly. No more stupid illusions, he had to get rid of her. Or find some way of shutting her up permanently; dreams were meant to give hope, nightmares to give fear. They were not meant to be lived in.

Strings = 10 - ???
Rei was still strolling about in Halloween Town. Now that the event's over, the life in the Town returned to the usual hustle-bustle that it was---
Or it was supposed to be.
There's something wrong happening here. Something very wrong.
As in, wrong like laundry turned into firebreathing dragon, trash into flesh-eating cockroaches, dirt into cookie monsters---
As he was in a dream. A very bad dream.
Or...
Did he ever awoke from the Wonderland dream???
Sometimes, he was slipping inside a dream. A dream about Wonderland.
A dream about getting a glimpse from a girl.
Alice.
"Dangit." Rei swore, after concluding what is happening in the chaotic Halloween Town.
The Dream has yet to end.
And he was still bound by the strings. Yes.
Like a puppet.

Strings = 10 - (9 - 6) = 7!
He knocked his own head on the hard wall behind him- How could he didn't realize this quick enough?
Weeellll...
The tour at the Academy was that interesting. Also, he can't really differentiate between real and unreal because inside the Dormitory is that chaotic.
He tried to move his body, but the strings bind him too strong.
"Alice." He whispered to the figure in front of him. "If you want me always on your side, then let it be. But let all those peoples go."
"No.", playfully replied Alice. "My power will be stronger with every people bind by their own dream. I need power. Power to erase the reality that is harsh to everyone and give them the dream of eternal happiness-"
She jumped around and dances. "-thus I can't release them. Or you. Mostly you."
Rei huffed.
"-then you don't give me another choice---but to deny your kindness." He mumbled that, and concentrated-
"The fragments of mine will, realize once again thine form!" He called---
RRRIP!
And from the exactly same location where the replica summoned 'his' Lost Memory---
The large scythe appeared, severing the strings that bound his chest!

Sparrow was unaware of awakening, but now...
Where was he?
He stood staring at the figures, his scythe held loosely in his hand, and the were speaking as though they meant something; though what, he had no clue. He tried to decipher the meaning behind the confusion, but everything was slipping away, and the shadows - not his - were growing stronger, deeper, blacker.
He moved through the door and then wished he hadn't.
"This isn't real," said Sparrow, and the scythe swung through the air in a wide arc. One string snapped, falling uselessly to the floor, but the others remained strong, holding him in place. He struggled to free himself, and the scythe melded black shadows against his gloved palm.
"What the - "

Strings = 7!
As he summoned the weapon, Alice pouted.
"No, no. You shouldn't done that. You see, those strings is the very same one that traps you inside this dream. Should you sever it completely, you will never see me again. You don't want that, do you?"
"As a matter of fact...no." He replied, trying to break free from the strings. "But dreaming too much can't be that good."

Strings = 7 - (8 - 6) = 5!
"Fangs and nails of mine anger, rise again in your beautiful blaze of crimson!"
As he recited that, two more weapons sprouted out from his body-the twin dagger pair, Agony's Twin!
-but they sprouted out in the wrong location, namely his shoulders. "Err."
They do cut some strings, though.

Alice pouted even more. Her cheeks puffed like a blowfish.
"You really shouldn't done that. Really! Can't you see I'm helping you forget your problems?"
"-and I'm pretty sure a problem is meant to be solved."
Dangit, he still can't move with his arms and legs bound like this.

He searched his memories for another weapon he can use---
"Pierce thru lies and falsehood, the bullets of mine tears!"
He summoned the twin handgun- Sorrow and Rage! They appeared on his hands...
-and dropped to the floor, due to his hand is still bound by the strings.
Dangit.

"Forge the sharpness of pain in my heart into a blade to sever the grasp of loneliness! Despair's Razor!"
An one-handed sword with spikes on its edge appeared, again severing the strings that bound his legs!
Now only his hands are bound. And Alice turned red. Like, fiendishly red from pouting.
