She was quite confused about all this. What was a... AI? That was what the pretty little dolly girl had called herself. But the horseman had no idea what that was. She was nice though. And explained about some... dream? Saiyuri just tilted her head. Ah, but she did understand 'game'. "Ooooh I like games!" She giggled, bouncing from one foot to the other as a strange prompt popped up. It wanted a username.
What was a username? She started pushing things and realized it was spelling out words. Giggling again, she spelled out something that seemed nice and was good enough. Alice AI accepted it and Sw33t-Cha0s clapped her hands.
"What next?! What next?!" She couldn't sit still and barely heard a word said about some class thing. But there were different outfit choices with little descriptions...
"I want that one." And thus the crazy little hatter found herself tossed into the most amazing game she'd played yet. A strange world surrounded her with noises, music, talking trees! Sw33t-Cha0s squealed with excitement, dashing around the woods - Tulgey Woods she saw somewhere - until she spotted a strange sign. It had a glowing mark above it. Approaching it, the sign began to speak to her.
"I must find 5 trees? Only 5?" What if she wanted to talk with more of them! "Yes, yes I will do this thing. I find the trees!" And with that, she was darting off again, cackling like a maniac.

No. No, he did not like this. Not one bit.
JK pulled the scarf more tightly around his face. It was the only good thing about this... cat costume, aside from at least being completely covered. But why did it include a tail? The infernal thing was lashing about at his bad mood and JK couldn't figure out how to control it!
And where was he, anyway? The strange surroundings, the humiliating costumes.
This was beginning to look suspiciously like a field trip.
Sighing heavily, tail still lashing in annoyance, the Cheshire stalked down the path, glaring left and right at the strange sights and sounds.
The talking sign was almost normal comparatively. Unfortunately, it insisted he go and examine the trees. To what purpose? He tried to fool himself by saying that the sooner the task was finished, the sooner he could go home.

9: You reach a tree with a lot of signs on it. The signs read "This, Way, To, Nowhere, And, Everywhere." They are in separate signs, and the "And" is a separate sign of its own. This is a very informative tree!
The first tree she happened across on her search was very interesting. Sw33t-Cha0s stared at it for a long time. The signs didn't make any sense but then, not much ever did for her. She looked this way or that, a small frown creasing her features. "Which sign do I follow?" She didn't want to go to Nowhere. That didn't sound fun! But Everywhere was going to be much to crowded. Yes indeed.
"Perhaps I shall go to Way." Mind made up, she followed the sign that was labeled 'Way'.

(Failed roll darn 3DS oh well Rp filler time)
As Miyu continued her search for another tree she found that it was way way too easy to get lost in these woods but she kinda expected that and knew if she just wandered around she'd find a tree eventually... hopefully...
So she took this time to start really exploring her enviroment her curiosity plain to see as she skittered from thing to thing and even had a brief staring contest with a pare of eyes which the fact that she was being watched by a strange pare of eyes likely should have worried her but strangely it didn't least that particular pare didn't
When she finally had her fill of exploring the area she turns and continues on down the path

So, he had to examine five trees. This quest seemed far too simple.
He was right. The stand of Willows he approached was beautiful in a way, with many colored strands of leaves. But as he tried to approach the trunk of the tree, the tree began thrashing at him! JK retreated quickly, tail fluffed out in alarm.
JK hoped that counted as one, because he was not going any closer to that Willow.

2: The second tree is a wide tree and doesn't look too happy to see you. It crosses its arms. "I don't think so, the last people who were here were terribly mean about it. Terribly, terribly mean and it just won't do anymore. If you come any closer I will have to resort to violence I mean it! Don't come any closer!"
If you move closer it hits you for -5 damage with its branches.
The little hatter found herself faced with quite the grumpy and slightly upset tree. It crossed its arms and Sw33t-Cha0s stared at it like a child discovering some big secret. "That is terrible of them! Yes, so terrible. But I am not mean." The mad hatter paused, tilting her head. "Well I can be. But only if they deserve it. Little insects that get in the way." She giggled, moving closer to the tree.
With a 'whoosh', Sw33t-Cha0s found herself sprawling on the ground and an angry tree informing her that he had told her to stay away. Sw33t-Cha0s licked her lips, rolling into a crouch as she grinned dangerously at the tree.
"Oh what fun I could have with you! Fire~ Fire burning down the tree~" She sing-songed to the tree as she got to her feet and danced off to hunt down another tree.

JK stared at the surrounding foliage, trying to decide which one was least likely to attack him.
Wait a minute, one was smiling at him. It... seemed friendly. The question took him by surprise though.
"Uh... roots?" he guessed, wary of making the tree angry.
"I'm hiding something in my mouth!" it replied, sticking its tongue out. There was a fragment of something on it. JK stared at it. The tree stared back.
...
......
.........
The tree seemed to be waiting for him to take the fragment. For the love of Jack, why him?
Very, very gingerly, JK reached out and picked up the fragment. The tree blew a raspberry at him.

Ace (as she imagined others would refer to her, even though her actual assigned card was neither an Ace nor even a Hearts card -- she was in spirit and this was the internet so who would know otherwise?) found herself surprisingly delighted by the somber colors of the Tulgey Woods. The sort of honky noises that occasionally emitted from the trees surrounding her were just as she imagined they would be, and although there weren't as many flowers as she had always imagined, the game did a fine job in its depiction.
Perhaps this would be enjoyable after all.
She breezed through the character generator, choosing a look that was pretty much an idealized version of herself. The thinness of the puppet base appealed to her in a way she didn't want to think about for too long. It took her a few moments of reading through the pop-up tutorials before she finally made her way towards the yellow exclamation checkpoint.

8: You reach a tree with stripes. Trees with stripes, how silly!
"I beg your pardon," says the tree with stripes, "but I am not silly at all. In here everything is possible and anything is impossible and therefore a tree with stripes is completely within everything and anything." Its stripes change colours. "Now, give me a good, good shake. I want to get some more colour out. Shake me really well, if you do I'll reward you."
If you shake the tree it laughs happily and then spits out a fragment. It bids you your merry way as you continue walking. +1 fragment.
Now this tree was much more fun! Sw33t-Cha0s laughed at it, tracing one of the stripes with her clawed finger. "You are most silly! But stripes are you. Very you." She agreed, a small sound of exclamation escaping as the stripes changed colors. "That is fantastic! So very nice!"
She paused, blinking at the tree for a moment. Did it... really want... Sw33t-Cha0s cackled, nodding her head vigorously and jumping at the tree. She gave it the best shaking it could have asked for! "Shake shake shake~ Shake for the tree!"
And it was kind enough to reward her! "Oh my! Such a nice tree. Thank you! I have a shiny!"

Tucking the fragment into his coat pocket, JK looked for another tree to examine. He came upon one with a myriad of signs hanging from its branches. None of the signs actually seemed to point to anything, though.
At least it didn't do or say anything.

So her quest was to look at trees. Seemed simple enough. Ace spent a few moments frozen in the same spot as her player held staring contests with the tree graphics visible on her computer screen; eventually she seemed to realize that 'inspecting' the trees implied actual interaction with them, and making a wide berth around the other player characters in the area, the White Rabbit ran straight up to the first tree in front of her.
1: The first tree is a long tree, and bends down to look at you with hollow sleepy eyes as you reach over. "Oh, please, you're not putting your hand in my nose are you? That's so very disgusting, and I'm afraid I haven't cleaned up yet. Very disgusting indeed. Come back again when I'm clean."
When you come back the tree is gone.
Ace hadn't realized that apparently inspecting trees meant putting your hands up their noses. But if that's what it took, by jove she was going to shove her arm so far up their noses she would stir their brains. Unfortunately, when she returned to the tree after giving it a few moments to freshen up, it had disappeared. Maybe a glitch or something? There did seem to be quite a few players around....

The rage of the willow continued for what seemed like an endless period before laughter could be heard cackling through the forest in mocking response. Newbies misfortune indeed. Well Envy was nothing if not entertaining, at least at a distance. Better to be laughed at than ignored!
She was beginning to think she'd have to get up and somehow fight the thing herself. With what and how she didn't know. She really didn't have any fighting skills, at least not that she knew of. Her stats were basically nil. But luckily before such decisions need've been made, a pair of sturdy hands grasped her arms from behind and carried her away from the trees AOE of destruction.
Adjusting her now ruffled attire straight, she turned to thank the hatter with huffed exasperation. It was a stern reminder of how untough she was. She'd better shape up quickly if she was going to survive, even with the help of a reluctant gentlemen.

3: You reach a tiny tree and it looks up at you and only has a row of smiling teeth. "Guess what I'm hiding!"
While awaiting the Hatters response she heard a voice over her shoulder. "Um, well I haven't any idea!" She responded somewhat sheepishly to the toothy-grinned tree. Two bark-fisted knuckle sandwiches, for all her luck.
The tree's smile widened in response. Apparently it wasn't much of a riddle as it was a excuse to show her something naughty. Slowly the twisted tree unfurled its twiggy arms to reveal a pair of damaged spectacles as the tree giggled its only reply. She sent a side-eyed glace to Partidge to check if his glasses were accounted for. She was growing ever more scared and suspicious of the greenery here. Wouldn't put it past her to add clepto to their list of offenses.
She called out, gesturing toward the mangled pile of glass and looped metal in the arms of the tree.
Last thing this would be party needed was the dumb leading the blind.

Wonderland? Alice AI? Job class? Card battles? Whoa... wait a minute. Did she say this was supposed to be part of a dream? Was this part of the secret behind Amityville's success? Since when in the name of Jack did people share their dreams in such an elaborate manner anyway? SugarPuss contemplated the many questions she had in her head, staying put for now as she took in the sight of the multi-coloured trees that made up the Tulgey Woods.
This was all too complicated to be just a dream. In fact, it was unlike any of the dreams she had prior and given that it occurred right after her recent transfer to Amityville, she was pretty sure that the academy had a hand in this one way or another. Perhaps they were testing out a virtual dreamscape that would be used as a social platform of sorts like Critter.
Bah. Who knows. Anyways, it seemed like she was stuck in this game for now till whatever time she woke up so she might as well try to make the best out of it. Perhaps things would become a little clearer when she actually ran into another person who knew his/her way around in this vastly different world.

Darkness faded and Cami was standing, dressed like it was Halloween all over again (ugh) in the strangest place she'd ever seen. Honestly, she'd thought the Deus facility was the oddest place she'd ever been, ever seen, but now, apparently, her sleeping mind was going to fix that. Was there no end to the bizarre lengths a mind could go? Her mother would have said no, patted her on the head, and given her a cookie.
A cookie sounded amazing right about now.
< A cookie is not what is needed right now. Don't you think you ought to figure out where you are? > Ah, and apparently, she was not alone. What better time for a cookie? In a place that wasn't dark, with her trusty Kidana at her (mental) side, everything was great!
< Everything is not great! Cami! > Okay, so everything wasn't awesome and peachy. Sighing, she reached up to scratch her head, and realized that she had ears. Big, long, white floppy bunny ears. That had her screeching and jumping back, smacking into the quest waypost.
It prattled on about a quest, about some trees, and before she knew it, she was off. Wait. Why was she listening to a signpost? Oh, because she needed to know where she was. And level up? Collect...somethingsomethingblahblah yes. Kidana would remember.
