Welcome to Gaia! ::

"What Kind of distraction would we need at this time of the day?" Nobody asked, disbelief on his voice, he started to fold the blue prints of the castle until it was able to fit on his coat once more and took out his silver pocket watch, ten past twelve it said "Well, i guess we should be on the move" he said starting to walk on the direction of the castle "Amy, you should take Mathiust or the Walrus with you and see to the Underground passage" he said handing Amy one of the metallic containers "You just need to press here" he said pointing at a little red button "And after 10 seconds it will explode" he added as an explication for everyone.

He turned around and handed one of the cylinders to Caterpillar and turned to Amy again "Please keep in mind anyone that tries to use the underground will certainly die of monoxide carbon poisoning, so do not be inside the passage when you activate the explosive, we just need to place them at the entrances to seal the scape routes, no need to enter the castle at all" Nobody said looking at the hatter, to see if he understood the last part.

Nobody sighed and looked at Caterpillar once more "If you are to die i will make sure it is not in vain" he said with a solemn look on his face "But let me ask you a favor, do not die as a soldier, for you are not a soldier anymore, die as man, a man worthy of life and freedom, freedom to fight and perish for your own ideals and not someone else's, use that freedom wisely" he said then looking at the road ahead "If you don't mind, i will take the northern entrance, it's the one closer to my home land" he said not looking back, his home land, was it fair to risk his skin for a land that was not his own?

Yes, yes it was fair, although rich and prosper his land could not survive the intempestive weather if not for his commercial relationship with wonderland, he could not allow that relationship to be cut and the suits had been severing that relationship since the last queen of heart's administration, they needed to go down, not only for his personal grudge... even if that was the main reason, even then his people didn't need to know that.

As they begun to preparing for there final assault. Ven started thinking about what he had to do. That he was going to follow orders for now. But when it was the right time, he was going after the leader. Alone, or not alone. Either way he was getting blood on his sword. "Mom....Sara....Father...this is it....I'm finally going to end it all...this will be...my chance to let you rest in peace. I will end the suffering for not only for my family, but for everyone." He looked at Victor and said to him. " Hey Victor, I was wondering....what's it like being in a war?" Deep down in Ven's heart, he was a bit nervous. Thou he didn't want Victor to know. He also, didn't want to die being a cowered, or not fulfilling his goal. He wanted to die a hero to his land and people.

(LOL @ Exel...it's quite scary indeed...)

"That is right, Mister Hatter...I am sorry to cut off the conversation, but we need to go." Amy said, looking back at Henry and Matt, heading for the southwest entrance; the one she's most familiar to.

The Joker went out of the Jack of Diamonds' office and left him a withered rose. "Dear Jack, I do believe that SHE is drawing near...that paling face of yours is a sure sign of it. And if you do happen to see her, tell her I said hello." Joker grinned, amused by Jack's reaction.
He headed to the hallways, catching a glimpse of the Undertaker in Jack's chamber.
And what is HE doing here?

Jack's heart picked up a sudden pace. He narrowed his eyes at the shriveled rose in the Joker's fingers. Like Lewis, the Joker could see signs of illness and even looming near. Jack fought the fire that surged through his veins. I'm not dying . . . I can't be dying. I am to rule this land. I can't die.

The Jack of Diamonds smirked lightly, gently grabbing the stem of the rose. "Death is yet to consume me, Joker," he said with a playful tone, "But I will certainly give her a wave for you."



Lewis waved a white hand at the Joker, grinning widely. He snickered at the keen observations of the Joker. He of course knew that Jack was dying, but Lewis wondered if the Joker knew what Jack was dying of. Maybe Jack should cough in his face and give him the illness. Then, if Jack dies, the Joker will know what Jack's illness was and won't be able to tarnish his reputation.

He snickered once more, resting his hand at his lap. I wonder when exactly the illness got to Jack. He placed a fingernail to his smirking lips. I remember the time I kissed him vigorously to get a reaction out of him. Dear me! I hope I do not get sick!



Victor sighed heavily, keeping his eyes ahead of him. "War . . . it's not something for the faint of heart," he said wearily, "It's something that I wish to keep going at until justice is served. I started the resistance because I hate the Suits. I may be an Ace, but I've seen the darkest side of that twisted organization. It has become clear that it is not what it says it is and I wish to bring it down, even if I sacrifice my life in doing so."

He glanced at Nobody, smiling weakly. "I want to die honorably, just as His Majesty the King told me. I want to die as a man of worth. It's strange, the thought of sacrificing lives to save them. Still, we must do what has to be done."

The Ace of Hearts lifted his glasses, Cossette and the last Ace of Hearts coming to mind. The Ace of Diamonds, the Jack of Diamonds, the Ace of Clubs, the Ace of Spades, and even the Two of Spades all came to mind. The Ace of Spades and Ace of Clubs may have been obedient Suits, but they were still dear to him. The Jack and Ace of Diamonds were as crazed as all made them to be. Not a shred of goodness lingered in their hearts. The Two of Spades was just out for a personal need. He wanted to prove that he was somebody to the Suits, somebody worthy of status. Victor sighed once again, thinking about what would happen to the Ace of of Spades and Clubs. He would have to sacrifice his friends for the sake of what was right.

The Ace of Hearts smiled playfully, looking ahead once more. "Ven, war has changed."

"War is what the winner makes out of it" nobody said dryly before he started to walk on the direction of the castle, he wondered just which part of teams of 2 had not been clear yet he made no more attempts to clarify the situation, it had been enough talk already, and they had quiet a few minutes of walk ahead until they could split to execute the plan as it needed to be done "Caterpillar" He said when they arrived at the crossroad that lead on to the north and one to the south "Do you wish to take Ven with you to the southerner entrance?" He asked a bit worried about this, he had been sure that splitting in two was not that troublesome but now that one man needed to be left alone because of him allowing his pride to overcome setting things clear he was not so sure it had been such a good idea.

It was either going alone or letting caterpillar go alone. none of the options seemed too good.

Tic, toc, tic, toc, the light and calm steps of a woman filled the woods, the calm and dark night coating the heaviness on her heart and as she looked at the road ahead she could see two familiar figures, the woods seemed to be full of suits on this particular night, usually she wouldn't have minded but as the slow steps she gave pulled her closer she couldn't help but think that it would be better to just walk away and pretend not to see them but it was too late, Elizabeth's feet seemed not to respond to her commands and so she neared the two suits until she could place their faces, the Two and Three of Spades, something was strange about them being together but in the perturbed state she was in to she could not help but just disregard it as her imagination "greetings" she said when she got close enough to be heard and she slapped herself mentally after a second, greetings? this was a really inconvenient time for her mind to decide and take a vacation.

Matt and Henry nodded. THey stayed silent, each a victim of his thoughts. They understood the task at hand. Matt thought, I'm sorry, Ashle, that I didn't get to tell you I was alive...
