Welcome to Gaia! ::

Elsa looked a bit determined, "If it comes down to that, I will take full responsibility. I won't let him blame any of you."

Risa giggled a bit, "I didn't mean to offend you, and I wasn't exactly comparing you... But when I thought that, it made me feel a bit more comfortable... "

((Haha... Silly Shiro.))

As the string quickly retracted, the markings started to immediately thin, her fair complexion returning as her body started to relax. Her teeth returned to normal, her claws returned to her fingers in their normal state, and eventually, she breathed normal, calm breaths. As the last of the markings faded, her eyes returned to normal, the blackness fading to reveal her yellow, glowing eyes. She appeared dazed, unable to focus onto Cheshire, which was obviously her point of concern for the moment. What just happened? Why was she lying there? Rin attempted to speak, her lips parting as she tried to say something, anything, but she found herself too dizzy, and too disoriented to focus on anything more than letting herself fall asleep. Allowing her eyes to close, she fell into unconsciousness.

((Feel free to time skip a little if you plan on waiting for her to wake up, otherwise, do what you will ^^ ))

((It's okay now, just be your character, Human.))

Cheshire pulled his shadow from the ground into a shadow version of him. He needed someone to talk to while he waited. "So, how are things?" he asked his shadow, it'd been awhile since they'd last talked.

Shadow Cheshire rolled his head to pop his neck and then grabbed it as it fell off. He popped it back on and began removing and replacing his fingers. It loosened him up. "Okay, just a little dim," he joked.

"Ah, always one with the jokes," he replied.

"And always the one to point out the obvious," he retorted.
Cheshire rolled his eyes. He then shoved the shadow back into the ground. He now remembered why he didn't get him out often. "We do need to take care of the Mad Hatter's hat though," he spoke to himself. He then happened to glance at her open lips and closed eyes. The cursed cat seemed so soft, so pure and innocent. It was intriguing and even intranceing. He could almost see the warmth of her breath in the darkness, the gentleness of her touch, her satin hair. He shook his head. Even in sleep she was cursed and manipulatively seductive. He wouldn't be taken for a fool. She may have been a lovely female cat, but she had a history for being dangerous more so than mysterious or playful. A contradiction to himself.

"Her bone structure screams touch her, touch her,
And she's got the curse of curves,
So with the combination of my gift with one liners,
And my way, my way with words,
seems I'm too hip to keep a tight lip..." came singing from the darkness. Cheshire wasn't singing it, but it went along with his feelings, so the darkness kept him from being quiet. It was about to sing another song, but he cut it off. If she woke up, he needed to not seem like she'd trapped him. He wouldn't show weakness. He hadn't for ages, he wouldn't now.

((The song is 'Curse of Curves' by Cute is What We Aim For. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfRy7oFJSdU ))

Cheshire's eyes questioned her, but.... he saw the questioning eyes and heard the confused phrase. "You are in the Dark Realm. You know, the one that I thought only I could get into. Anyway, you kissed me and calmed me down with your black tattoo thing. Which leads me to my question, what is that thing?" he asked.

((Cool, what movie?))

((Transformers!))

The Cursed Cat... Well... Cursed as the Cheshire described the scenario, her memories rushing back as she thought about what might have happened. "That's right... I had to stop him from destroying everything..." she thought, shaking her head as she pushed herself up to her feet. She appeared to be a little wobbly; stumbling a little as she fully reached her footing, growling softly as she found herself trembling from the sudden rush of exhaustion.

However, that wouldn't stop Rin from attempting what she was about to do. Her brilliant eyes shined brightly as she narrowed her eyes slightly, Rin cautiously taking a step back "I guess I'm full of surprises, aren't I?" she said quietly, black plumes of smoke swirling around her legs and up her form.

"Keep yourself in check Cheshire, or I'll have to kiss you again." With a wink, Rin turned, lunging forward into the darkness until she was gone.

However, with her limited strength, it wouldn't be hard for Cheshire to track her if he chose to follow.

((Fabulous movie. And the king decides if he can be hurt badly. A little scratch maybe, but he is royalty, and in the profile it doesn't specify if he was trained in sword fighting or otherwise so... depends.))

Cheshire knew she was weak, and that wink... He really wanted to follow her. Just to make sure she didn't trip and get attacked by a killer squirrel or something. (Cheshire is obviously rationalizing what is completely emotional.) Cheshire stood up and walked behind where she'd gone. He could feel the portal she used. Her low energy was easy to track. He walked through it after he reopened it and then closed it behind him.

((k, now where are we? You opened the thing.))

"okay.." Aria said quietly, "so where are we?"

"where are we?" Myria asked Mark

"ah fine then, seeing as i'm called Alice anyway, you may pretend" she didnt like to see young children upset

Jesta nodded, looking about, she tried to work out where they had landed

After bowing to the King he laughed, "just try and catch me!" Josh wandered over to the Baron, "hey, we were talking to you! you ignored us!" he frowned, "and don't go mouthing off, this guy is the King, and only those of us who are outside of his ruling.." he winked at the King, without Jesta around nothing would stop his jokes and teasing, "..may be anything but submissive to him"
