Maria blushed when Marcie pointed this out, now clearly embarassed about her sheepish stirring. "You're right." she admitted, laughing nervously as she increased her speed slightly. It was enough, however, she still appeared to be rather tense.

( rofl I'm only gunna break break yo-break break your heart *dancy dance*
Shinsei: er...Lyka...time to post...
History Homework: >_>
*dance dance*
Amy: yep...she's nutso...we should just hack into her computer...
Shinsei: yep...good idea...)
Amy pushed the children forward and made sure that no one was left behind. She jumped over one of the beds blocking the exit and was about to leave when she heard a small cry.
"H-Help! I'm stuck!!!" a yelp came from the farthest corner of the room.
Amy's ears perked up and she went back to the room. Surely, there was a petite form of a girl tugging on a boulder.
Oh dear...
Amy tried to push the boulder as hard as she can, but she needed some company to roll the boulder off.
Something at the back of Shinsei's heart tugged at him and somehow managed to cause a considerable amount of pain. He took a deep breath and looked down in shame.
"I'm sorry...I...I just wanted to keep you safe here...I guess I wasn't thinking too well..." he murmured.
"I am still going, whether you come or not...I still have something I need to do..." he said.
"I do guess I am selfish...selfish enough to want you until death." he smiled sadly and kissed Siyu's eyelids.
The Joker let out a lighthearted chuckle.
"If I am to execute...publicly or just for my own purposes, I must know the proper places to hide the bodies...and they're all around the castle...that's why I know this place better than the back of my hand..." he said, moving quickly to dodge the falling debris from the castle walls.
"Are you sure it is proper to escape like this?" the Joker asked suddenly, the irritable question seething in his veins.
(o-o Shinsei...that post was...
Amy: awwww
Joker: ...
er...cheesy...
I think the Joker and I agree for once...amirite?
Joker: mmhm...
Shinsei: I don't see you making any posts >_>
<_< ah...touche...)

Jack could hardly resist the smirk that crawled on his lips. The memory of the Jack of Spade’s daughter becoming a Jack brought forth nostalgia. The Jack of Diamonds had missed the day he erased the memories of the thirteen-year-old Charlotte.
”I can only imagine what that runt must have said to you,” Jack said lazily as his eyes rolled to the corner of the ceiling. ”I suppose he is the reason you know more about me than I would want; my family name, Lewis Liddell, the people I had killed to keep my secrets quiet . . .” The sudden pain in Jack’s chest reminded him that Nobody could have had knowledge on his illness. The Jack of Spades had known of Jack’s tuberculosis after all. The Jack of Diamonds sentenced him to the amputation of his hands for sifting through his medical files. Through much persuasion from Gestalt, he ended up throwing him in the solitary confinement chamber for forty-eight hours.
Gestalt pressed his back to the wall, glancing from the White King to his master. He placed his hands to his sides and pressed his lips shut. Speaking would be unwise for Gestalt. He knew his master well enough to know that Jack would order Gestalt to do something painful if he spoke suddenly. Still, Gestalt worried for his master’s sake. If Jack spoke the wrong words, the White King would be able to hold more against him.
Victor threw his head back and shrieked through his gritted teeth and struggled more with the cords that bound him. He knew the Ace of Diamonds had offered Victor to choose his next bullet wound out of torture. He wouldn’t dare chose a new bullet wound, even if the Ace of Diamonds would choose one for him. In response, Victor leveled his head to stare the Ace of Diamonds in the eyes. He narrowed his eyes and said in a shaky, pained voice, ”F*** you, Ace.”
Siyu shut his eyes tight, the feeling of Shinsei's lips sending chills down his spine. "Shinsei . . ." he whispered, covering his cracking voice, "Don't go . . . you . . . you idiot!" Siyu's shaking fist tightened on Shinsei's tie. "I . . . I'm a Two! You're a Three! I'm superior to you! I order you to stay!" His jaw shook and small beads of liquid began to form in the corners of his eyes.
"Ah, I see," Lewis chuckled, still limping forward. "And what exactly do you mean by . . . 'traveling like this'?" He turned a head slightly, staring into the Joker's ice-blue eyes.

A dark chuckle and the sound of the revolver's body rolling before coming to a stop could be heard prior to the Diamonds' voice"I don't think you are in the physical condition to do just that" Ace of diamonds said before placing a soft kiss to the Ace of hearts navel "But we can always try the other way around" he said before firing the next bullet through the Ace of Heart's arm without giving him time to respond.
Bang...Bang...Bang... a soft laughter "You don't seem to be very lucky tonight" Ace of Diamonds said smiling wickedly at the Ace of hearts, out of 4 bullets he had fired at the guy they had all hit him, of course the Ace of Diamonds was cheating, Russian Roulette was one of his favourite games, it gave the victim the sense that he could be saved, but there was no such hope. It was all about timing after all, he knew just which bullet was missing at the beginning and from there he just needed to time the rolling to make sure it landed in a filled spot and not on an empty one, but he wouldn't tell that to the Ace of hearts. Seeing his nervous features before Ace of diamonds fired the next bullet, seeing the tingle of faith arise in his features at the perspective of not going through more pain disappear as he felt yet another bullet go through his body, it was so... delicious, yes, he loved this pained face, this smell of gunpowder, blood and sweat, this intoxicating feeling of having the pain and life of someone in his hands, especially if it was an 'equal' the only better thing would be to take the life of a superior "We have 4 more bullets though" he said looking at the beaten man in front of him "Let's make this more interesting" he said kneeling in front of the Ace of hearts "If I miss three times in a row I will let you go" he said calmly, planning to torture him more yet knowing if Ace of Hearts lost all his hope he would not be fun to play with anymore "But if I have hit you three times in a row again..." he smiled his most wicked and malicious smile for the Ace of hearts "what should I ask as my price?" he asked inching his face closer to that of his victim.
Nobody smiled a bit and looked down as if not interested in Jack anymore "Yes, him and the Knave of hearts where very useful, from the beginning it was all an act wasn't it Jack? The Jack of spades saw through it and tried to take that power you held for himself, with the help of the white monarchy and some children he raised as soldiers to take you down from the inside but of course he was discovered, so you killed him, But even after the death of the Jack of spades you could not risk that happening again, could you? so you convinced the Queen of hearts to send her own son away from here, him being the Jack of Hearts meant that less power needed to be shared and, of course the Jack of clubs, here present, was never a treat for you, as for replacing the Jack of spades, that was a pretty smart move i must admit, take in the child that was meant to take you down and use her to sustain your organization, pretty smart i must say, I even talked to her, tried to convince her to help the same way her father did but i guess not everything can go as planned" After that long monologue Nobody looked up to see if the last piece of information had some effect on him.
Marcie finished placing the crusts and started making the cheese tarts before turning back to maria "okay, i think that's good enough" she said looking at the mixture from over Maria's shoulder before turning to the purple wrapping she had left on the kitchen table and opening it, Marcie smiled as she saw the contents, it was just like she had expected, The white queen had surely brought this along to negotiate.

Maria's eyes wandered and she soon spotted the package. "If I may, what is that?" she asked curiously, wishing to know what was inside. Maria wished to know, however, she didn't want to seem rude. "If you don't want to, though, you don't have to tell me."

”Your price . . .” Victor hissed, his voice shaking. Victor wouldn’t dare give the Ace of Diamonds something to satisfy him with. He had already tortured him long enough. The Ace of Hearts’ body was aching all over and blood was leaking through his lips. He could barely contain his growls and moans of pain, despite how satisfied. There still was a chance that the Ace of Diamonds would miss three times in a row. If that was the case, he would be let free. Even though the Diamond could shoot him three times in a row, Victor came to a choice.
“If you hit three times . . .” Victor hissed, a weak smile pushing on his face, ”Then I suppose you must kill me.”
Jack smirked through tightened lips. The little runt . . . I ought to shoot him right in his place . . .
”Hmm, you’re more aware of my predicament than I thought,” Jack chuckled, ”Much more than I would have hoped. You know of all the people I killed and had ordered to kill. And yes,” The pain in Jack’s chest steadily increased and his throat suddenly felt dry as he felt a cough coming on, ”Things don’t always go as planned. It is truly unfortunate . . . tell me, Nobody . . . what do you plan on doing now that you have exposed some of my most vital secrets?”

" She was pretty darn proud to serve this organization, a wonderful pawn you had there" Nobody said in an acid tone and left out a small sigh of exasperation at the memory of discussing things with the Jack of spades, he had managed to strike a deal of allowing her to know about tonight's plans as long as the conversation they had had was kept on secret, of course she had used that information to save some of her men, the little sly girl, he wondered why she had not abandoned the castle herself though, perhaps she believed it had been fake information.
"Anyhow, nothing, not really, It would be presumptuous to say that i have nailed you down by myself jack, I have only been around for a short period of time, no more than 3 years have passed since i became 'Queen' but the previous white King already had his suspicions, it all started with the Knave of Hearts after all and that was what? 18 years ago?" nobody looked at the kitchen table before continuing "You know Jack, if we look well enough at the situation we will see that the one who is winning at the moment isn't me" nobody said playing with a straw he had found at the kitchen table "Here we are, talking all alone, in the queen of heart's kitchen, you, a man trained in combat, with a doll that could kill me at one word of yours" nobody raised the straw and analyzed it as if it was the most interesting thing on the whole universe "You could trow my dead body to the fire, say i was caught up on the rebellion's plans and wash your hands while making you seem like the victim in this, yet here i am, lecturing a man that has held wonderland in his hands for years without anyone doing anything about it and perfectly safe, how is that?" Nobody looked up from his straw to the Jack of diamonds, Lord Sirshosim himself and smiled, a perfectly normal smile "I think you know why that is, I know what you want and I know what you are missing to have it" Nobody said crossing his legs "And i can give it to you for a price" he said as a smirk grew on his face.
Marcie smirked without looking at the Queen of hearts "It's an special ingredient for the tarts" she said before turning around with a normal smile on her face and taking the mix from maria's hands she started to fill in the crusts with the mix and the fruit and, in some of the tarts, the especial ingredient that seemed to disappear among the uncooked tart "Now let's place this on the oven" She said opening the door of the oven and placing the tarts inside "Please put these five in the fridge though" Marcie said pointing at the cheese tarts, she really didn't wish to have maria near the oven, just in case.
Ace of Diamonds smirked, he could barely contain the ecstasy at the mention of killing someone but he was not really satisfied by the answer "Kill you? how boring" Said the diamond with a small pout and fake disappointment "I was going to do that anyhow" He said smiling again "Well, we have a bit of time for you to think of a better price" His smile turning in to a smirk "Unless you want me to back down from my proposal" Ace of diamonds Rolled the revolver's charge once again, letting it land in an empty space and pointing it at the Ace of Heart's chest, his smile diminished as a small clicking sound was produced instead of the loud firing boom.
"Ah, beginner's luck i guess" He said before making the charger roll again.

Matt got his two kids out. He then ran back to Amy, coughing. "Ten! Where do you want me to push?" he asked. He could feel the heat of the flames nearing, almost singeing his arm. He coughed again. "We've got to hurry..."
Ashle walked over to the children. She hushed them, and let them use her hankie. She got each of their names, and ages.

"Oh, goodie!" Maria said, grinning widely. She took the cheese tarts and placed them in the fridge, as instructed. She couldn't wait to try some of the snacks. Surely she wished for them to be delicious. However, since she had a hand in making them, Maria couldn't help but fear that her cooking might've somehow turned it into a warped poison.

"okay, so now all we have to do is wait" Marcie said as she closed the oven and took the apron off, it was going to be a little bit before either the tarts on the oven or the ones in the fridge where ready anyhow.

"Yup!" Maria said cheerfully, standing still with a bright grin on her face for about five secconds before asking a question one might expect from her. "So...what do we do while waiting? And how long does this usually take?"
Poor Patches, he was hopelessly lost! Without realising it, he had stumbled into Looking Glass. It wouldn't be long until he arrived into a town nearby...

Marcie giggled as she was asked this questions, of course it was the queen's first time so it was expected but she still found it somehow cute, she almost found herself wishing Ashle was there, it was strange how that girl managed to get lost so easily, unfortunately Marcie couldn't really take care of someone at all as she had repeatedly proven, she had a hard time taking care of her own self and well, the white queen, but that was her duty and she couldn't fall her duty, could she? "it takes about 25 minutes" Marcie said smiling as she started to pick up the utensils they had used "And what to do indeed..." She pondered out loud, she really didn't knew what to do while waiting "Well, I guess we clean up a bit the kitchen and then we get you cleaned" she said as she noticed a bit of flour on maria's face along with some mix on her hair, it was a good thing the apron had protected most of the rest.

Maria nodded, her smile growing all the wider. She looked happier than a fool with a penny. "Mmkay! What shall I clean up?" she asked, not expecting in the least to let Marcie do all of the cleaning. Even if Maria was royalty, she didn't really consider herself as much. After all, she was not only a b*****d...but she was forsaken by her own birthmother as well. How could she proudly and truly call herself a princess?

((Sorry for the delay, everyone. >_< I have been artistically busy.))
Jack could no longer resist the devilish grin that crept on his face. Despite the bored look in the White King’s eyes, Jack had found it entirely satisfying how he described Jack to sound like a monster. In Jack’s mind, he was no monster. He was not the carnivorous, animalistic man that Nobody made him to be. Despite this, Jack was rather amused.
”I suppose I have everything I’ve ever wanted coming to me,” he said maliciously, ”Most things anyway. My doll, my Suits . . . my power.” Jack grinned, turning his attention to Gestalt. His features were apprehensive, as if he was waiting for the White King to strike at any minute. How badly Jack wanted to throw a knife at Gestalt and have him display his obedience to the King.
”Now, Nobody,” he said, folding his fingers together and resting his hands on the table, ”What you are to offer me, I’m sure it will make everything I’ve ever worked for completed. Tell me, what is it that you will offer me and for what price?”
Victor pressed his lips s**t and closed his eyes. He took in shaky breaths and his stiff, sore limbs trembled. The sound that the Ace of Diamonds made his gun produce was entirely maddening. He had always wondered why a gunner never cocked their gun or spun the charger until they were about to shoot their victim. It had become crystal clear to him now. Gunners were usually people like the Diamond that stood before him. They knew entirely that the sound of a gun readying a bullet was horrifying, for the very sound alerted their victim that they would no longer live.
Damn you, Ace of Diamonds . . .
”Don’t back out,” he breathed, rather pained. He lifted his head and hacked up blood. The Ace of Hearts took in a few more pained breaths, each breath lined with an anguished moan. ”We had a deal, didn’t we? Keep going. Let’s see who wins.”

((Working hard on your novel?))
Marcie smiled as the water in the sink started to run "Just hand me any empty plate, recipient or utensil that you see we used" She said beginning to wash the dishes she had picked up already but noticing there was still a lot of things laying around.
Nobody smiled cryptically "I have been known to like sweet things, would you like some 'tarts' Jack?" he asked wondering if the Jack of diamonds would pick up the Hidden meaning behind his words
Ace of Diamonds pulled the trigger slowly just to find a new clicking sound arise from it and so he frowned slightly "Well now, you only need one more to be free" He said Spinning the charger once more and placing the Barrel of the gun to the Ace of heart's hand "Nothing good to keep me interested in following through Heart?" He said a bit mockingly "Not even a Kiss?" he added before letting out a soft laugh, his whole body being in ecstasy at the delicious sounds his victim was making, every moan and every grunting noise exiting him even more.
