Despite all the pain his body was in, Victor could only force a smirk. ”Yes, I have a few final words,” he said, his voice slightly cracked, ”I have avoided death thrice, thrice too many times. Go ahead, take my life. Just remember that the resistance will still be out there. Our fire has burned bright, burning down your pathetic house of cards. As long as there are Suits, as long as there is the Jack of Diamonds, there will be the resistance.”
Victor closed his eyes, recalling his entire life as a Suit. There was so much pain and hardly any pleasure, only the temporary pleasure of chasing girls. He would be leaving the Ace of Clubs, one of the two women he had ever felt a genuine connection with.
He opened his eyes, locking gazes with the Ace. ”Take me . . . you bloody Diamond b*****d.”
What a disaster . . . this place . . . there’s almost nothing left of it.
Jack gazed at the blackened mess that was once the castle of the Suits. Walls had crumbled into black ash and the floor was littered with burning bits of ceiling and dead bodies laying in their own blood.
Curse that damn resistance . . . curse the Ace of Hearts . . . I need to put an end to this soon . . .
Jack lifted the collar of his shirt to cover his mouth, already beginning to cough out the black smoke.
This is not good. I’m feeling faint. No matter . . . we’ll be out of here in no time.
((My other characters are idle at the moment. Sorry...))

The Diamond pulled the trigger slowly, savoring the moment, taking in every detail of his victims features as he played deaf ears to his words, almost bored yet amused by them but when he pulled it all the way to the back something weird happened, the clicking of the empty gun resonated in the empty room, what had happened? the Ace of diamonds pulled the trigger repeatedly, frustrated at the situation, he opened the gun and noticed it was empty, an angry growl emanating from his lips, the bullet he had spent on that kid back at the south, he had forgotten to reload it, he glared at the beaten frame of what remained of a man, he was barely alive anymore kicking the chair in anger and making it fall to the floor looking at the door where a feminine silhouette was hidden by the darkness.
Ace of Clubs walked in to the room just in time to see the tied man fall, feeling something close to concern for the poor fellow but the velvety voice she heard a moment after prevented her from going on to his aid
"Ah, i guess i won't have the pleasure of taking your life after all" said the Diamond with a faint smile heading for the door, he had ran out of bullets and that reminded him of his promise to the Jack of diamonds "Lucky Jack" He said under his breath as he Saw the figure of the woman standing at the door, taking a hidden knife ready to attack until he saw a familiar face and smiled even more "My, my, Ace of Clubs Dear, do you happen to have any ammo with you?" he asked getting closer to the woman, taking her by the waist and making chest hit his "no? ah well, I guess there is no helping it, could you watch this dying dog for me?" Taking her chin with one hand and fully aware of the watching Heart he stole a soft kiss from her lips without letting her answer "very well, please do a fine job and don't kill him 'till i get back" he added in a soft whisper against her lips, leaving her to watch out for the man she could not remember an roaming the rest of the castle, the resistance had just attacked the Suit facilities and surely the Jack of diamonds was not as stupid as to let himself be killed in a fire, he just needed to find the guy... or some ammunition.
Elizabeth was a bit perplex at the Diamond's actions, she didn't remember having any kind of special relationship with the guy ans she could not see the guy lying on the floor now getting more hurt by his actions on any way, she didn't doubt that maybe she had slept with the guy, that was completely possible, he was cute, she liked cute guys, but she could not picture herself with the guy, getting closer to the bloody figure of a man she didn't see a need to take care of she picked up the chair without much effort, picking up the dirtied and broken frames of his glasses ans looking at the man she did not recognize as more than a traitor and the guy she slept with not so long ago, making her head hurt terribly at that time.
A soft screaming of a familiar name was brought to the Kings ears among the smoke before they had leave the castle, it had come from a bit further ahead and it came from a familiar voice, not a pleasant one but familiar indeed "I think they are Calling for you Jack" ha said as they continued to walk curiously in the direction of such a voice.
"Ok then" Dragging maria along many doors and corridors fool of clothes and accessories and even jumping a small warden with a white fence Marcie made her way with the queen to a small wardrobe "Here are the dresses of my size, not custom made bur they fit rather decently, might you pick one for me your majesty?" asked Marcie in a cordial tone, smiling normally despite the odd path they had just almost ran.
The smell of nicotine had long ago died but there was ashes in the air, despite the cold sweat he had felt for a while now the room had grown warm, or maybe it was just fever, why was there a faint noise of death and screaming despite his throat being far too dry and way too swollen to make any noise anymore "why... why... why..." the words floated through the dark and thick air and came to the Eight of Spades' runny nose and his reddened eyes dry as his lips and it hurt and it felt cold as death, cold as Josephine when his drunken father and his whore of a mother had dumped her body out on the rain, cold as their hands trying to separate him from her, cold as his own eyes looking back from the mirror and telling him about his guilt of being alive and the warmness grew warmer and the burnt small grew burnter*...
(well, Ace of clubs is now with Ace of hearts, Marcie obviously at her house, Ace of Diamonds looking for Jack, and eight of spades still in solitary. oh and Dan is probably partying at a club XD
*yes, i know i made than word up, sue me for my muchness XD)

Maria looked at each dress carefully, thinking for a moment before finally deciding on one. She pointed to the one that she thought might suit Marcie best and asked, "How about that one?"
{I'll let you decide how it looks.}

Looking at the Dress the queen had pointed she took it off from the perch and analyzed the symmetrical cut, the formal look and the pretty plum color "hum... this is nice but i think it would look a bit plain compared to the guests, The white queen among them" she said putting it back on the wardrobe
(but i want to see what Maria would pick by herself D: )

{Okay, how's this?}
"Hmm..." Maria looked at the dress once again, finding that she agreed with Marcie. Looking over the dresses, she spotted one previously unseen. It was a deep red, low cut with a long flowy skirt. On the right leg there was a large slit to add to the attractiveness of the piece as well as allow better mobility. It had long sleeves, form fitting towards the shoulders and getting a little looser as it descended. At the edges of the slit, the skirt, and the low-cut neck were small black ruffles. At the point of the slit, which was around the hip, two tiny feaux roses of black silk had been sewn in. Maria hoped her taste wouldn't be proven to be utterly atrocious...

Slowly, Victor lifted his heavy head. His blurred eyes could barely make out the silver-haired figure before him. He squinted his eyes, the blur becoming clearer. His mouth managed to curve into a weak smile. ”It’s you,” he spoke softly, ”Of course, you would come around. There’s no saving me anymore . . . I’m going to die very soon.”
His smile began to fade, seeing a hint of despair on Elizabeth’s face. She didn’t speak, and he knew that if she would, her words would be few. He sighed deeply, looking back to the floor. ”If you want to watch me die, by all means do it. I can understand that you are angry. For me, however, it would be comforting to know that you were here with me during my final moment.”
Jack stopped in his tracks, turning to face a familiar figure appearing through the black smoke. ”Ace of Diamonds,” he said, crossing his arms, ”You haven’t escaped yet, I see. I’m assuming you were disposing of the Ace of Hearts . . . or have you come to me to tell me you didn’t?”
Gestalt had a strong feeling that the Ace of Diamonds had come to face the Jack for the second reason. He could sense the disappointment in the Ace, noticing the frustration in his eyes. If this was in fact true, his master would be furious and would most likely finish the job himself.

(Umm...hello everyone redface I was contacted by SereneShadows today and she sent me a message telling me to come back to wonderland...man, it's been such a long while since it started. I'm sorry for being so inactive for the past few months. I was busy with school and developing my writing. I stil am busy (more than ever), but I'll try to post as much as I can. I'm glad to see everything's going well smile Missed this place a lot, and all its characters. Please forgive me for the weird, slightly off and or crappy writing and my characters. I am still slightly confused at the moment sweatdrop )
The Joker paused, sensing an unbalanced force around the area. He turned to Lewis, saying "My, my...something is not quite right..."
Someone escaped death today...and it's not proper in my book...
Amy put the girl down, looking for any familiar face that she might run into. "Have you two seen anybody else around here, or is it just the four of us?" She asked Two and Three.
"I haven't...we can't go back to the castle either. It's too dangerous. We can only wait until all of this is over." Shinsei said, looking at the grisly carnage that Wonderland has become

“I was doing just that of course” Said the Ace of Diamonds looking at the Jack with bored eyes, his voice reeking of frustration as he played with the revolver on his hands to tray and ease the anger “He is about to die, even if left alone he would not survive” he said mater- of-factly but with a hint of annoyance ” but an unfortunate matter made me remember my promise to you sir, so, shall I bring you to the Ace of Hearts, Sir?”
Ace of Clubs looked at the bloody shape that was barely a man anymore and accommodated the frames of the glasses in his face just to have something to do while she waited, she could not really understand the words of the heart and despite the concern for a following human being she knew better not to pity those destined to be executed, even more when he could be the responsible of her sister´s death “And why would I want to save the likes of you?” She asked looking him with icy-cold eyes.
Marcie smile at the selection of the queen, taking the dress before reaching on the wardrobe to make a small gap in between them, revealing a tiny door behind them all and taking a tiny golden key she opened the door to go through it, taking Maris with her to the fitting Room the Queen has used previously “Shortcut” she said as all explanation before opening the dressing room door for the queen to exit “now, if you´ll excuse me I Shall get changes”
(it´s all rigth Lyka, Welcome Lyka C: )

Victor sighed heavily and closed his eyes. ”I see,” he spoke, almost like a whisper, ”You’re betrayed by me. My followers have turned this castle and its Suits to ash. I can understand why you are angered.” Despite his words, Victor couldn’t block the sharp pain in his heart. ”Watch me die. I won’t be around for much longer. Besides, my work here is done . . . at least most of it. My followers will take care of any unfinished business.”
”Bring me to him,” Jack replied immediately, ”Don’t bother moving the fool. I’ll come to him.”
”Jack of Diamonds,” Gestalt said, taking a step forward to Jack, ”You haven’t the energy. Please, it would be best if the Ace of Diamonds brought him to you.”
”Absolutely not,” Jack spoke sharply, shooting his doll an icy glare, ”I’ll go to him. Now,” Jack turned to face the Ace of Diamonds, ”Would you kindly lead me to him?”
Siyu sighed heavily, staring in shock at what was once the castle. The black smoke had covered the sky, barely showing the rising sun. He could see few Suits manage to escape from the castle, all crying and burnt. His memory of his grandfather's death suddenly became more vivid, the images returning to his conscious mind.
”This is madness . . . absolute madness,” Siyu whispered, ”Shinsei . . . please . . . let’s leave. I can’t look at this any longer . . .”
”Is that so?” Lewis put a black fingernail to his lip and leaned on his good leg, ”Well, of course you would know, Joker.” He smiled crookedly, ”You are the lord of death in this castle.”
He crossed his arms and glanced behind him. ”I do hope that the fool who managed to escape death is killed . . . to set things back in their natural balance. It wouldn’t surprise me if that very fool is the Ace of Hearts. The bloke has done a fantastic job at evading death’s inevitable kiss. Death will catch up to the poor sap eventually.”
Lewis smirked, turning back to his friend. ”Come now, let us leave this mess and have tea together!”
”Farewell, you scum,” Raven said with a smile as he pulled the trigger of his gun, releasing a bullet to pierce through the skull of the last rebel he had caught.
The Ace of Spades longed for combat, despite his near death experience with the Two of Spades, the very experience that landed him in the homeland of Alice. He could barely fight the feeling that something was amiss, that he was desperately needed elsewhere. Raven did his best, to little avail, to shrug off the feeling and reminded himself to focus on his mission.
”That better be the last of them,” Raven sighed, reloading his gun, ”Besides, I need to get a new uniform. They got blood on my suit!” The Ace groaned loudly, smoothing his jacket and grimacing at the blood that stained the fabric. ”And my shoes are a mess. Why can’t combat be a little less dirty?!”
Raven groaned once again, withdrawing his handkerchief and polishing the dirt off his shoes. ”No matter. I must return to the castle anyhow. I’ll get myself a clean uniform there.”
((YES! ALL MY CHARACTERS TOGETHER AGAIN!))

Ashle and Matt finally got to the steps with all the children. They started to beat on the doors of Marcie's house. "MARCIE! MARCIE LET US IN!!!" they said together. The children started to beat on the door too. What a sight they were. Matt had a child on his shoulders, and two holding each hand. Ashle had one on her hip, and three holding onto her pants loops.
