Mika ran after the Caterpillar, who blinked out of sight and appeared even further out of her line of view. "Ah, jeez, how'd he get over there already?" she murmured. Striving to run even faster, she gained a short spurt of speed and slowed down again (not athletic). When she finally reached the edge of the field, she noticed a pale-skinned girl yelling on the other side. Hmm, I wonder who that is... she pondered. Over near the tall tree, the Caterpillar was now perched on the lowest branch, quietly smoking his pipe, and surrounded by a deck of cards. "Hey you!" Mika yelled. "We haven't finished our delightful conversation yet!"Drawing closer to the tree, she stopped when she realized all the cards were staring at her. Ohhhh snap... One by one, the cards decided to draw their attention to her and ran towards Mika. "Oh why do I have to be stuck in this stupid game?" she moaned, shooting at one of the cards.

Alexander opened his eyes slightly trying not to let the light in so strongly. He glanced around, everything was odd for him. He put his glasses on and stood up cleaning his jeans. Geez where am I.... he said to himself with a soft tone looking around.
'ERROR, ERROR. Virus Detected in 'Login Database'.
That was the last thing he heard before he fell into a world of ones and zeros...Fenix slowly opened his eyes, Squinting as the sun's rays disturbed his sensitive vision. He turned his face away from the sun and twitched as a blade of grass tickled his cheek. Did...Did it work? Was he logged in? He flexed his fingers one by one, Before closing it into a fist. He didn't feel any different...Sure, His Eyes, Nose and Ears were more sensitive than usual, But they usually are when you first wake up in the morning. With a groan, He pulled himself up into a sitting position, Rubbing the back of his neck as his ears flattened against his head. Wait...
"EARS?!"He blurted out, Reaching up quickly and touching the tip of one of his ears gingerly with a single finger. It did work! He was logged in. But, It was strange. Everything felt natural to him...His ears, His tail. Fenix felt as though he had been using them his entire life. He pushed himself up onto his feet and looked down to see what kind of character...He...Was. --"What...The hell am I wearing...?He asked Wonderland calmly with a look of sheer disdain on his face. 'The price of freedom is steep...' He thought to himself, Trying to process his attire. Was he wearing a fur boa...? He closed his eyes and placed his hands against his hips. 'But is it worth it?' He wondered.
Fenix looked around, Surveying the area in hope of better grasping the situation. Where was he? It looked like a grassy field. This was...New. Normally a game spawns new players in either a starting town, Or a tutorial section. If this was a tutorial, He wasn't particularly impressed. There were no NPCs or Pop-up Messages telling him how to play the game, For starters. Ah well, It wasn't as though he needed a tutorial anyway...He had played enough games to know how to play this...One. --"There's no keyboard or mouse..."He muttered to himself as he only just realized, Feeling somewhat like an imbecile. Of course there wasn't a keyboard or mouse, He was in a VIRTUAL WORLD. But if this was the case, Then how was he supposed to call up a menu?
Fenix stood there with his eyes closed, His tail whipping from side to side irritably as he tried to solve this conundrum...He tried Clapping, Snapping his fingers, And even picking a closed flower in hopes it would open up and reveal some kind of hint. He threw the flower over his shoulder and simply tried asking for it."Menu?"He sighed, Believing it to be in vain. But suddenly, His request was answered by a blue holographic screen appearing before his very eyes. He stared at it for a moment or so, Before outstreching a single finger and touching 'Character' with it's tip. Immediately, The window swirled and a 3d model of his character appeared, Aswell as the typical boxes showing equipped items, And a list of stats on the side. It was only then that Fenix grasped the true horror of the situation. His outfit was more dire than he could have imagined from a first person perspective...
"It's worth it."He muttered to himself in an effort to convince himself as he stared at the hologram,"Definately worth it..."He turned his gaze away from the 3d model for a moment, And focused more on the stat window. Well, He seemed to be geared more towards AGI and DEX, As one would expect. But he also had quite a fair bit of LUK. His character class, As promised, Was 'The Cheshire Cat'. He pondered this for a few moments, Wondering what his role was in this game, Before selecting the 'Back' button and returning to the main menu. He wasted no time in selecting 'Inventory' to browse his possible weapons to choose from, Aswell as see what items he had. Now, Fenix had read 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' before, Twice even...But he did not recall the Cheshire Cat having a handgun. No, This was certainly news to him...He tapped the icon which brought him to a new window, Conjuring up a 3d model of the gun, Not unlike it did his character model. His day, It seemed, Could only get worse...
"The gun...Is pink."He stated matter-of-factly. As though accusing Wonderland of something heinous. Well, It seemed if the colour 'Pink' was in his future from now on, He'd better get used to it. Besides, It was a gun, If someone laughed then he could just shoot them with it, Right? Exactly. So there was no point in pondering the matter further...Spotting the 'Equip' option, He tapped that with his knuckle and looked down as blue pixels swirled around his hand for a moment, Before materializing the handgun in his palm, Chained to his wrist by a bracelet. A PINK bracelet at that...Yes, This was definately going to get worse. He decided he wanted to try something, Though.
"Unequip Handgun." He said firmly, Hoping it would work. He didn't expect it to, But thankfully, It did! He didn't have to go rummaging through his inventory window to equip and unequip it. He didn't have to carry it around with him everywhere...Just to be sure, However, He said"Equip Handgun."and sure enough, The gun materialized in his hand again. Alright! This was something he could work with...He unequipped it from the inventory window and went back into his inventory screen. He seemed to have in his posession, 25x HP Recovery Potions (Starter) & 25x MP Recovery Potions (Starter). No bullets, It seemed...But perhaps ranged characters in this game didn't NEED to purchase ammunition. Occasionally, There were games like that, And he was thankful for them.
Well, There was nothing else to do here now...This was a game, Wasn't it? Well, Games have monsters...And he needed levels, As every beginner does. Fenix closed the inventory window, Aswell as the menu itself. Skimming over the fact there were no 'Options' or 'Logout' sections, And started walking in search for a monster spawn area with a flick of his new ears and a swish of his new tail, The fishbone keyring pierced into his tail jangling as he did.

Squeaks had confirmed that their plan to split up was still going to happen, which was great, though it left the question as to who the CEO was going with. "Well, that's fine and dandy, but just who is CEO here going with, or are you goin' alone?" his question seemed to be lacking any curiosity, but was said as a reminder that their earlier plans for groups may not work.
The question of communication was something that had Todd face-palming. "Squeaks, you do realize that this is an MMO, right?" he pointed out, before offering, "You could send us a message saying you found something, just let me shoot you a FR, so you can get in touch." He brought up is menu hub, and quickly sent her a friend request while sending a friend request and Join Party Request to the Munchkin. He forgot how annoying it was sometimes to game with MMO newbies.

Beatrice was watching carefully at the groups. Caterpillar and Hatter in one, Alice and Emi in another. She hoped Charles would join the group she was in since she still had that report to make. Ah well, it was his choice, but what a waste. When he had sent her a friend request, she heard a beep as she pulled out her menu, clicking at the "Accept" for the party invite. She looked over at Charles who seemed to be thinking, trying to choose groups. Beatrice was tempted to make his choice for him, but that would . . . not be good at all.
"Who's your group Charles?" she said, coming out from behind Todd, since she was there the entire time, hidden to others. And for a second, Beatrice could have sworn she had heard footsteps coming at them. That made her move toward Todd closer. She still didn't know much about fighting here and she was. . . she hates to admit it, she was afraid.

"Decisions,Decisions," Charles sighed as he looked at both groups in thought. Well, if her were to go with the Mouse and Alice, it wouldn't be that bad, he'd be the only guy after all. But again, that would be a hassle in a life or death situation. If he goes with Todd, well, that wouldn't be so bad either hanging out with a guy. And, he could have more fun when he fights. He didn't notice Beatrice until she had come out and spoke to him, which at the moment, made his final decision.
"I'll go with Todd and the rabbit." he said almost instantly after noticing Beatrice's rabbit ears. God, she was so little, what ran through his head was that she was the perfect rabbit. Maternal instincts came up almost instantly. He scooted over next to Todd as he stared at the rabbit like he was staring at his own child. There was going to be some awkwardness in this group, everyone could just sense it.

Emiko facepalmed herself as she replied to Todd,"Right right sorry. I guess I just adjust to things easily, so at times I'll forget that this is a game." She opened up her menu as a sound went off to inform her that she had a new friend request. After she accepted, she sent a friend request to Beatrice, Mika, Rin, and Charles, along with a "Join Party" request to Rin, as Todd did so with Beatrice. Emiko glanced up at Rin,"Well, shall we get going? Or is there something else we have to do first?"

Leerin = Alice
Where am I? What happened to me? Why does everyone call me Alice!
Leerin pulled down her menu bar, she sent friend requests to everyone she had met including the caterpillar. While she sent the requests she looked at the top of the menu which read LV. 2. "Not bad,though I have some improvements to make." she said under her breath. Leerin heard voices in the distance though they didnt sound like the caterpillar's or the Hatter's. She turned to Murakami, "No nothing left let's head in the direction of those voices!" she suggested.
Ilex sat there on the branch with one of his eyes open, staring at the hatter with a smug look on his face. Served her right for calling him a b*****d. As the last 30 seconds wore off his hyper-body buff [Causing the black aura around him to disappear], he continued to puff smoke out of his pipe as he looked beyond the girl and the cards, towards where the maze originated. A small frown formed at the corner of his mouth as he stared at it. Originally, he had been avoiding the maze due to the annoying monsters that continued to pop out of it like it was some kind of baseball machine. And when he first spawned into the game, the opening message he had gotten frightened him more than his memory loss.
'This is your reality.' It wasn't the words in general, but the concept. What would he wake up to find? What if he was just some bum living off the streets? Was there some kind of reason he was stuck in this game? Deep, deep inside, he knew that he wasn't truly trying to surpass the maze, because the thought of this being his reality was much more inviting than the reality outside the game, where he would probably wake up half-starved and as weak as a child. Whose to say he would even have his memories back when he woke up?
Ilex sighed, a stream of smoke flowing out of his nose, and opened his other eye as he looked down at the girl who was now fighting a bunch of cards by herself. Which was extremely unwise, since she was a long-ranged player, which was deduced by the gun in her hand. Ilex stared at her for a moment, not sure how to go about this. It wasn't only his dark thoughts that caused him to slack off in the maze, but it also seemed to be his lack of players. Now that there were more, well, why couldn't he take advantage of them?
Sighing again, Ilex took his hands, which had been resting behind his head, and put them on the tree-trunk, then swung his legs over to one side. Taking the pipe out of his mouth and gripping it with both of his hands, he slipped his butt off the branch of the trunk just as a newly refreshed black aura formed around him, activating his hyper-body, and landed on his feet onto the ground. The pipe in his hands grew to the length of his two-handed sword again, and just as three cards began running at him, one already injured by the hatter's previous shot, Ilex rose his sword, and a small wind surrounded him, repeating the same move as last time. Dirt and dust flew everywhere, knocking back all three of the cards, destroying the already injured one and leaving only one with the sting de-buff.
Taking one step back and putting one of his feet on the tree, Ilex pushed himself off the tree, using the force to make the power in his sword stronger as he rushed towards the card without the sting, ducking down low and hopping up, cutting it with a 'direct hit' skill, and then counter-attacking downwards with a double swing, bringing the large sword swiftly down with one of his hands, and using the other hand as support on the ground as he twisted in a roll and slashed the side of it, causing it's health to drop to 0 and die. As the stung card rushed after him, he quickly hopped up from the ground and rushed towards it, jabbing the sword in a regular attack exactly in it's midsection, causing it's health to drop to 0 and die as well.
As the three cards all died in what seemed like a minute or so, a small pop-up shoved itself in his face, awarding him a level up as he quickly recovered from his attack and ran to the hatter, who was shooting cards right and left. Swiping his open hand across the air, the pop-up dissipated and automatically added stat points to his Endurance and strength levels. Using his front foot as an anchor when he had reached the hatter, just shy of being nicked by one of the remaining 5 card's spears, he pushed up against her back so that they were back-to-back with each other, and then smirked a little, holding his sword out with both of his hands to evade oncoming attacks.
"I don't like you."he started the conversation off with, his small grin plastered on his face as his pupils drifted to the side of his head, where she was located. He rose his sword up a few times to fend off a few simple spear attacks, and he could already feel his strength overpowered compared to the low-leveled cards that surrounded them."But if you really wanted me that badly, you could have just offered me some tea."He smirked again, getting slightly nicked by one of the spears, loosing a mere 5 hit points, and then using his 'direct hit' on it. Critical hit. It died instantly.

⌊Mika Suzaku⌋
◊"There is a place. Like no place on Earth. A land full of wonder, mystery, and danger! Some say to survive it: You need to be as mad as a hatter."◊
Shooting rapidly at the array of cards around her, Mika felt her strength begin to ebb. She knew that she probably wouldn't be able to hold off the monsters much longer, and that the best course of action would be to retreat, and find a safe spot to hide and regain HP, which she could now see had precariously fallen into the yellow zone. If she lost all her HP, she would be killed in the real world as well, so Mika prepared to run away, slowly backing up. Until she almost tripped over the Caterpillar, who was now fighting alongside her. Ah, so maybe he had some guilt in him after all. Mika kept shooting at the cards, but when she heard the Caterpillar's thoughts about her, you couldn't say she wasn't miffed. Swallowing down the insults she was about to say, Mika instead drawled out, "Ah, but you see I don't happen to enjoy your company much either." She paused for a moment to shoot an incoming card. "If you wanted some tea, you might have wanted to visit a few hours earlier, where I was smack dab in a tea party with myself and my invisible friend." Finally watching the last card demolish into a cloud of blue, she faced the Caterpillar, but was interrupted by a level-up notification. Mika distributed her stat points to her STR and AGI, and closed the screen. "As much as I hate to admit it, thanks," she said grudgingly, with a sour look on her face.
"Level 4..." Fenix muttered to himself as the sexy female voice echoed in his ears, Calling 'Level Up!' to him in an overexcited voice as his gunfire echoed about the area, Attracting more 'Card Guards'. Honestly, Leveling up when you're at levels below twenty doesn't really warrant that much excitement. But, It WAS fun and exciting when you learn a new ability for the first time...When he had played games in the past, They seemed to all be about the same, But this game was different. Not only did the VR aspect add unprecedented immersion, But it also had a unique feel to it. Then again, Alice In Wonderland truly was unique. After all, It was a children's book that had drunks and drug users!
Fenix managed to find a monster spawn area, But what he didn't expect was the AI...It truly was something else. It was almost as if they were real people, Playing the roles of Card Guards. He found it curious. Very curious. And Fenix liked curious things...It took him quite a few misses to finally land his first shot with his handgun when he first spotted a monster. His gun had recoil and everything...He didn't know if he was playing the most immersive first person shooter, Or the most immersive Fantasy MMORPG. What he did know, Was he was loving every minute of it...
He took this time of brief respite before more card guards appeared to allocate his stat points...He did the same thing he had been doing since level one, +5 DEX one level, +5 LUK the next. DEX for Accuracy and a minor boost to damage, And LUK for critical hit rate and a major boost to damage. He may boost AGI later, But because of his natural AGI, He didn't seem the need to do so in such early levels. He honestly shouldn't be leveling this fast, But he was an experienced solo gamer after all...Although he had been leveling fairly quick, This was only one zone for levels and the EXP gain was beginning to drop off. He had also gone through four HP Potions, Five if you count the one he drank absentmindedly while allocating his stats...He went back through the menu and noticed an exclaimation mark flash up at the 'Skills' section. So, What did he do? He selected 'Skills' of course...
"'Close Combat?'"He said with curiosity in his voice. Wasn't he a ranged class? How interesting...He selected the skill for more details and grinned wide as he read them aloud. "'Close Combat: Causes all physical attacks landed, Such as punches and kicks, To deal weapon damage.'" This was a most curious ability indeed...Did the game want to balance the class so it wasn't underpowered in close combat situations? It was hard to believe that this game was still in Beta. The developers certainly put alot of care into it.
He threw the glass bottle, 'HP' written along the glass in ornate golden letters, A label reading 'Drink Me' tied to the bottle's neck, Causing it to smash against a rock. Fenix exited the menu entirely, Just in time to fall backwards onto his a** as a spade was almost driven into his skull. He quickly took aim and opened fire, One shot missing, But two landing...Reducing the level 1 Card Guard's HP to 0. He wasn't alone, However, As another Card Guard appeared behind him and cut his shoulder with it's spade, Dealing fifteen damage. Fenix winced slightly and jumped up to his feet, No time to aim, He decided to make use of this 'Close Combat' ability and whip the side of the Card Guard's head with his pistol. 'Critical Hit flashed up over the Card Guard's head, Dealing an extra 50% damage...One Hit K.O.
Spotting more enemy reinforcements on the horizon, And also noticing the EXP gain had dropped off drastically compared to how it was earlier, He decided it would be a good idea to take this opportunity and, Not run away, But merely search for a new spawn area, Preferably with Level 5 enemies...So that's what he did. Ignoring the light cut on his shoulder and shaking off any thought that this, Aswell as his previously sustained injuries, Caused him any harm and he was merely not used to the game's 'Hit Indicator'. After all, It was just a game...Right?

Alexander looked around as he started walking. He wasn't so good at games, worse if you get sucked into it! He looked around and said talking to himself. Alright Alex, you need to get going! But how... he asked himself as he noticed some card guards. He heard at that moment a blast and saw a Cheshire cat like person blasting his way out. Ummm gun? No umm... he said a bit confused he then said Sword with a firm voice. He got his weapon an stated at it. No way it really works! he said as he walked to some card guards and slashed them. He got the hang of it, now ready to find another player.
Thoughts: Haha getting the fun of this, no wonder my friends recommended this!

Now Todd knew the reason why Hares and Rabbits seemed so skittish; they could hear every thing. The trees swaying, people in the distance talking, and the crunch of grass being walked on, yup everything. So, it was no puzzling thing as to why Beatrice moved closer to him. She probably is a good choice for the role of White Rabbit.
It could have also been the interest that Charles showed in Munchkin, though Todd thought the guy might have some sort of Rabbit Kink. He's never giving the guy Playboy, that's for sure. "Right... so you're joining us," he restated as he sent him a FR and JPR to keep things going smoothly, before he closed off his menu hub. Since when did he become some sort of people magnet though? Oh no.... this is gonna be one of those groups ain't it...?

Beatrice was quite surprised when Charles had decided to stay with them. Well, she was going to ace that report for sure now. But, she still was distracted and was focusing on the sound she had just heard. The rustling of the bushes wouldn't stop. It made her heart beat faster and faster in terror. . . . as well as of tardiness. The more the bushes rustled, the more the urge of following them like she did go to class became stronger. Was it just her imagination? Was Blondie not hearing it? Did they not have the same ears? As she was to tell Blondie about it, the sounds stopped, and her rabbit ears perked up, seeking for the sound again as if she wanted them there. The wind must have been playing tricks on her. Yeah, it could have been. She sighed as she started to notice Charles staring at her. It was. . not that stare. It was the same on her friends give her at school.
"Shall we get going now?" she stammered, clearing her throat as she tried to shift her way around Charles' stare by moving more to the side of Blondie. She wasn't going to look girly like Charles wanted her to be. "Why don't we start off leveling?" Beatrice continued as she looked back to the sound that she had heard, as if it were to come and smite them at any given moment, "If we get to a higher level, we could fend off more." Beatrice started to look at the paths around the maze, walking up to the one that was left of her and opposite to Emi's direction. It seemed If no one was going to decide on a path, she was. Noticing that everyone had their strengths in fighting, Beatrice decided she would be the brains, the one controlling their movements. It would be faster. She did have experience in puzzles, and she wasn't going to lose this one.
