Welcome to Gaia! ::

That's more like it xd

I'm sure it'll be a few weeks yet before I decide to put a close on try-outs and get things moving on the actual story, so you have time to figure things out.

I still need to figure out what I'm doing for the Knave of Hearts before working on my secondary try-outs.

Speaking of, for those who already have done your primary try-outs and are just sitting back and waiting, you can start thinking about submitting secondary try-outs for other roles you may want in case voting does not work in your favor for the primary role you wanted. It will be noted when it comes time for voting which role you want most and which are secondary/backup roles so those who are voting might give the primary runners special consideration for roles.

In the instance that someone gets completely voted out of the story somehow {as in, none of their characters get the majority vote for a role} and that person still wants to be a part of the story, then I will assign them a role that isn't taken that I think will suit them or make up a part just for them.

And rescripting is encouraged! This is our own flavor of Wonderland. Just so long as you don't stray so far that the character isn't recognizable.

After going back and reading the tea party scene in the book... Hatter and March's only real purpose is just to be arses and chip away at Alice's patience until she snaps and starts flipping tables and leaves.

Being annoying as fudge. This I can do. whee

Redid the "characters so far" section to link to each person's try-out. This should make it easier to reread the try-outs when it comes time to vote. I also rearranged the list to roughly be in order of appearance as I'm seeing the story in my head so far. The actual order might change depending on who gets the parts, if parts end up being cut due to no try-out being posted, or parts get added.

Links will be updated if someone posts an updated try-out. I've also removed the pictures from the first post so be sure to post the image with your try-out so people can see how you would dress the part when they look back on it. If you somehow lost the image because you didn't save your own version, here's the photobucket album I created for it and have been saving images to.

Seated on her throne, she was browsing the internet on her phone and idly wondering what was taking so long for her drink to be delivered to her. A butler finally appeared with her Pomegranate Martini and handed it to her.

“Here you are, your Highness.” He bowed slightly as he offered the drink to her.

Her eyebrow arched as her eyes narrowed. “How many times do I have to tell ya’ll? Speak only when you’re spoken to! talk2hand ” She sighed and took the drink as she waved away the butler and took a sip of her drink.

The Red King leaned over to speak to her. “Now Vilkat…that wasn’t necessary... sweatdrop ”

She turned and gave him a withering glance. “You too? Speak only when you’re spoken to! stressed Sheesh….are all ya’ll that dense? rolleyes Or do you just not remember the manners that were taught to you when you were younger?”

She made short work of her drink and then stood up.

“Come on, Hauk…let’s go out to the garden and see the chessboard. And don’t you worry a bit about the other chess pieces, I’m here to protect you. wink ” She gave him a saucy wink and stood there waiting for him to stand and join her. When he didn’t rise right away to escort her outside, she crossed her arms and tapped the toe of her boot on the marble floor.

He joined her and the two went outside to the garden. The garden was a large expanse of green, and only red flowers were allowed, per her decree. She began her customary walk around the grounds, inspecting each and every flower to make sure it was up to standard. She came across one rosebush and stopped in her tracks. When he asked her why they stopped so suddenly, she merely pointed at the WHITE flower that dared bloom in her lovely garden of RED roses.

“What is the meaning of this?! scream ” She yelled, and the nearby caretakers cringed at the sound. (her drawl did tend to make them cringe on occasion) “SOMEONE had better explain to me WHY there is a WHITE rose amongst my beautiful RED roses! ”

One of the knaves approached her cautiously and stammered out a response.

“W-w-well, you see…your Majesty….there are times when even a red rosebush just m-might bloom a white flower on the rarest of occasions…..” His voice stammered and his face red from nervousness. She merely stood there staring at him, her arms crossed under her bosom and an eyebrow arched as if she didn’t believe a word he was saying to her.

“That is no excuse, talk2hand ” she said with a flip of her hand. “OFF WITH HIS HEAD! scream ” She screeched pointing at him, and two other knaves appeared immediately to drag away the offender. She turned and continued on her walk in the garden and didn’t see the King shake his head “no” to the knaves, thus sparing the life of the accused knave.
She stopped and turned as the King reached her side, and he took her arm as they continued their walk in the garden. He sighed slightly and spoke quietly to her.

“Now, Vilkat…what was up with that nonsense back there? confused ”

She laughed and swatted his arm playfully, “You may call it "nonsense" if you like," she said, "but I've heard nonsense, compared with which that would be as sensible as a dictionary! "

She grinned at him, “Besides, you know how much attention to detail I give everything. I’m actually surprised that you’d dare to call it nonsense, knowing what the consequences might be. twisted ” She gave him a knowing smile and the two continued their walk around the grounds.

*While sitting carefully on a blanket, an unknown manicurist does her nails and "Alice" spies a curious white rabbit. Curious because this particular rabbit was fully dressed in a fancy little outfit and she could have sworn she heard the creature say it was late as she sees it take out a golden pocket watch. At first, seeing this rabbit makes her think of Hasenpfeffer emotion_awesome …that is until she sees that this creature is carrying the just newly released "Poppy Satchel" by Coach. emotion_jawdrop

WAIT!!! She yells at the rabbit and much to her dismay the rabbit becomes startled and runs off with that handbag.* stressed SON OF A… stressed gonk *She jumps up which causes the manicurist to topple over and get nail polish everywhere. gonk Her manicure is probably ruined, stressed but hey…this is THE "Poppy Satchel" here. emotion_yatta

Going as fast as she can in her Jimmy Choo's, she bursts through some shrubs and comes to an abrupt halt. There it is…the rabbit with the handbag. emotion_kirakira But curiously, she notices the creature is now green. Again, the rabbit takes out a golden pocket watch and looks at it. I'm late. *It states once again as it eye twitches.

Alice puts out her hands and tries to speak softly and calmly to the furball as she creeps closer. Easy there fella. We'll get you there in plenty of time. *Just as she's about to nab that handbag, the rabbit leaps in the air and down a huge hole.* MADRE FIGLIO CAZZO DI UNA CAGNA!!!! scream gonk *She looks down the hole…and it is filthy. But DAMNIT!!! THAT was THE Coach "Poppy Satchel!" gonk stressed So she jumps in to go after the rabbit.* stressed
