Marcie smiled, despite the situation at hand she was glad as always to serve as a host "It would be my pleasure for you to stay" she said kneeling to the level of the young girl sited on her livingroom "Care to accompany me for a cup of tea? I'm sure finding yourself with a nice and warm company would be more enjoyable" she said with a courteous smile.
Nobody smiled humorlessly as he continued to drag the girl until they reached the looking glass and could see the others not so far away "There is always something up and about in here" he said as they neared the group "Until we put an stop to it at least"

(Edit: sorry..^^")
"O-of course sire...but...it is the Joker...and I'm pretty sure he'll track the resistance down sometime soon...so we'd better get ready immediately." Amy said, running to the group near the Looking Glass as fast as she could.

Maria felt the weight upon her lips that begged her to forget her smile fading; it was always easier for her to smile when she didn't feel so abandoned or alone. "Thank you, I would greatly appreciate it." she said sweetly, visibly relaxing some. "Please, if there is anything I may do to repay you for this, let me know. I do not wish to be but dead weight."

Marcie smiled and got to her feet with almost too much energy for how late it was and how tired she felt "My, My, do not worry about such trivial matters" she said laughing softly "It would be my great pleasure to serve as your host for the time you bring me such honor" She said heading for the kitchen to start making the tea "Any preference for the tea? I just got my hand in some delicious Azahar tea" she said from the kitchen, taking the steal teapot and filling it with water to the brim.
Nobody smiled at Amy before walking behind her and reaching the group of people "the more reason we need to make tonight's plans a success" he said greeting the others with a small movement of his hands and head "I suppose we are all here already" nobody said taking out a small square of folded paper "Shall we begging with the plan then?" He said unfolding the paper to reveal a 18"x24" blue print of the castle "I'm sure caterpillar and Amy are familiar with the castle surroundings but I'll explain for the rest" he said placing the plane to the ground so that everyone could see "there is basically 5 quarters, the royalty and Parliament, the events halls and the trials room, the suit's facilities the library and the kitchens, asides from the gardens surrounding this 5 main areas" he said signaling to each on turn as he mentioned them "We will only be attacking the suit's facilities, Is everyone aware of the methods we will be using?" he asked raising his head to look at each of the ones present, caterpillar knew already but nobody was uncertain if he had communicated anything to them or if he had judged it wiser for the curse of action to remain secret for the time being... he had carried with him the mixture of aluminum salts, naphthenic acids and palmitic acids, he wondered if they knew the effects of this newly devised weapon they had started to develop at the Lookingglass land, it was a bit secret but having spies within the resistance maybe some information leaked out.
((can anyone guess what weapon I'm suggesting?))

{A sort of explosive?}
"Anything is fine with me. I don't have any types of tea memorized." Maria admitted with an embarassed blush. She sat up straight and pretended to hold an air of pride. Though if one looked into her eyes, they could tell that her mind was wandering to more worrisome thoughts.

((Sorry, everyone. I've been really sick for a while and was dumb enough to make it worse with alcohol last night. sweatdrop So, I slept early. I'm sorry for my inactivity.
And Exel, I'm going with Anime's guess.))
"Y-yes," Siyu stuttered, remembering the sickening embarrassment he felt when he realized him and Shinsei were caught. Normally, Siyu prioritized a mission, unless the Ace of Spades was involved, but he had never done what he did with Shinsei during a mission. Somehow, he felt different, as if Shinsei was the only glimmer of light in his life.
"You're right," he whispered, releasing his blood brother as his cheeks flared. "L-let's go."
Victor glanced at the man who had approached him. The voice was very familiar and the man had even called him Caterpillar, his name as the leader of the resistance. Yet, somehow Victor almost couldn't recognize the man that stood before him.
"You," he said, his eyes scanning the man, "A-Are you Mathius Hatter? A-And what sort of 'deception' do you speak of?"
Jack narrowed his eyes at the Joker. He always spoke so casually about death, just like Lewis did. Then again, Lewis hadn't killed many people and mainly dealt with retrieving dead people. The Joker, however, was an executioner and had taken the lives of many. He was most likely desensitized to blood and death after seeing it for years.
The Jack of Diamonds was used to talking of death casually, having killed his parents and sent Suits to the Joker. Still, Jack was just not ready to embrace his death, not yet. The pain in his chest served as a constant reminder that he was going to die soon. Even though he and Gestalt were attempting to prolong his life with medication, Jack knew that death loomed at his door. Death was a friend to the Jack of Diamonds, but also his worst enemy.
"A traitor?" Jack said almost blankly. There seemed to be so many treacherous Suits nowadays that it drove Jack mad.
Gestalt turned slowly to look at the girl, his facial features remaining as tranquil as usual. "Kill you?" He placed his hands behind his back and observed the fear and anger in the girl's eyes. "Young lady, do you have a death wish? I do not see a need to execute you. Mathius Hatter, however, was a resistor. He was willing to take us down with the rest of the resistance. You, miss, are not a threat to me or the Suits, at least not yet."
It was nearing midnight and Raven had not found a place to sleep for the night. He was used to traveling the entire night, but it would take a toll on his energy and performance the next day. As a Suit, particularly as an Ace, he couldn't allow that. He had to be strong enough to take out the resistance in the East. Still, despite being an Ace, Raven knew he was irresponsible with money. Everywhere he turned, he could see pachinko parlors and people playing interesting games with cards and dice. The temptation was driving him mad, but he had to turn away.
Perhaps I should find a cheap place to stay and then play a little game of poker . . . no, I can't do that. My luck is awful. Still, what if my luck just shapes up today? What if it's different?
The Ace of Spades shook his head, walking away from the flashing lights of the gambling district. It was tempting, but he had to keep away from those places.
What if Marchy lives around here? No, I don't recall her living on the East side . . . then again, I don't quite remember how I got in her neighborhood . . . and I found her at her house and at a tea shop. No, there can't be tea shops in the gambling district. Ah, Jabberwocky. I'll see where the road takes me.
Lewis could hear the buzzing of voices from Jack's office, one eerie voice belonging to someone he had met many times before. The Joker was present. The very thought brought a wide grin to Lewis' face. Two men who fancy death and play with death for a living were near the Jack of Diamonds, a man who was fighting death with all his might.
The undertaker sat at the edge of Jack's bed, wondering how Jack could have contracted tuberculosis. Perhaps he was in the presence of someone who had it, since that was how the disease was usually contracted. If that was the case, all Suits in the Jack of Diamonds' presence should have been wearing a mask or at least ducking for cover when he would cough, sneeze, or spit.
The spots of black blood on the floor reminded Lewis of Gestalt, the doll him and his sister had purchased for Jack. Gestalt possessed a vast knowledge on medication, so he was perfect for Jack. Still, tuberculosis was usually cured in three months of medical treatment. Perhaps Jack wasn't taking his medication or Gestalt was a defective doll. Lewis chuckled, knowing that his dear friend was probably refusing his medication. Jack believed that he was a god, a man of higher importance and power than all else. Lewis now knew that this was the reason his friend was not getting better.
((OH! Who's playing the Nine of Clubs?))

(Exel....I'm going with Anime's guess...chlorine gas would be effective too...danggit...too much of history textbook reading for me sweatdrop )
The Joker chuckled; The Jack of Diamonds seem to be unaware of his own organization...this might hinder his effectiveness as a ruler if he lives up to be one.
"There are many resistance members amongst the suits...I think you sent the Ace of Diamonds after them, am I right?" he asked, grinning wickedly at Jack's nod of affirmation.
"Well...there are specific ones I wanted to hunt down...the Ten of Hearts in particular...or should I say...Amy Nigel? Surely, that name must ring a bell somehow..." the Joker smirked.
Let's see how good his memory is...
Amy beamed at Nobody. "That seems quite familiar, sire..." she said, looking at the weapons present.
"Hold on...I'm heading south..." Shinsei said, remembering the mission details on his folder.

((lol, well, it was napalm, but an explosive is quiet similar, everyone ok with my choice or are there any ideas? I can edit if need be))
Nobody looked up at the moment he heard caterpillar’s words, surely there was a mistake, Mathius Hatter was dead, he had been captured and killed by the suits, had he not? But then again, caterpillar himself had been ‘dead’ for a while, for how things went around it wouldn’t be so much of a surprise as a nuisance, not because of the boy but because of this bad habit resistance members seemed to be picking up about playing dead.
Marcie placed the teapot on the fire and started to brew the flowers, when the water was ready and the tea was brewed she added a few Bach extract drops to Maria’s cup, it would help her relax “Is there something that is bothering you, your majesty?” she asked coming back with the tea and a tray with raspberry and chocolate pastries.
((About nine i am guessing Anime, and i hope you get better soon Serene))

{I am. It was origionally going to be Ten of Clubs, but I changed my mind. So instead I'm deciding that Ten is her real name. (Hence the typos of a mentally-blonde me...no offence to actual blondes!) 3nodding } "I feel as if something terrible is going to happen. I don't know what, but I'm worried for Nobody. I'll be cross with him if he gets hurt or worse." Maria admitted, trusting Marchy enough to allow her to know of her fears. "I must be paranoid, right? My instinct isn't always correct, I know." she said, trying to convince herself more than anything.
"Nine" walked through the castle cooridoors, searching worriedly for Jack. She hadn't seen him in the longest time and felt as if she were failing with her duties both as a 'Nanny' and as a Suit. Her tail flicked about beneath her skirt as her emerald green eyes darted about, pretending to remain calm in the current situation.

Alex nodded,but she didn't want to go.She felt a bit jealous because it seemed like Tao wanted to be with Ashle more than her."Okay,I have to check up on Jack anyways." she said as she pulled away."I'll be right back." she said as she hurried off to her room to put on a black skirt that went down to her knees.
Jack was stomping his feet and kicking random rocks as he did so.He was still angry.

Ashle stared at him, and said, "Then why am I here?" Her voice was ice. She wanted to beat this guys brains out. Her wings quivered in her anger.
Matt smiled at Victor. He then said, "I'm sorry, Caterpillar. Yes, I am the Hatter..." He put on the-his hat, and looked to where Victor's voice was coming from. "I had to play dead for a while..though, it is true that I cannot see anymore. I am sorry that I had to hide. I had to make sure the Suits took me for dead..." He held out his hand, and revealed his arms. You could still see the silvery scars that ran up his right arm.
Tao sighed, feeling that he'd messed up again. He thought that Alex would want to see her best friend. He sighed, and crossed his arms. He got a tingly feeling, like something was about to happen, something big.

Ten then called out for Jack by calling out her pet-nickname for him. "My little Emo, where are you?!" she made sure that her voice was loud, booming, if only to embarass him.
