Finally a chance to show the red queen how little she'd liked the invasive questions, how she hated her castle, she hated this place, it was horrible and she was done with Wonderland! That creepy room, was that the Red Queens doing as well? All the more reason to be angry. UT reached for a card and instead pulled out a long thorny whip.
She cracked the whip once and then flicked her wrist to strike out at the Red Queen. The glitches, the jabberwock, the angry roses, she struck out against everything unpleasant in Wonderland.

[70 Damage TOTAL] - astra here [50 Damage] This was it. The showdown. The Red Queen. McCowboy approached the Red Queen battle with a bit of caution. What if what the artificial intelligence had said was true? Would defeating the Red Queen set an imbalance that would make the White Queen powerful and destroy them all? Or is that imbalance just what they needed to defeat the true enemy – ALICE. It was all so uncertain, all so unclear, and the young cowboy was dropped in the middle of this conspiracy so far deep over his head. But he couldn’t just stand there and do nothing. He needed to take action for the betterment of everyone. He couldn’t just sit idly by and do nothing, risking the elimination of himself and everyone else here with him – the possibility that they would all be replaced is far too grave of a risk for him to just ignore it. Sure, this may not be the best strategy, the wisest approach, but what was? The power imbalance – it may be the key to their troubles, ultimately. With the Red Queen defeated and a more powerful White Queen as his ally, they may be able to work together to defeat ALICE once and for all. But if the Red Queen was under attack, was the White Queen much safer? She may be under the same threats – leaving nobody with power but ALICE to take over. McCowboy paused and hesitated. He can’t go into battle with these risks, can he? But he couldn’t let the Red Queen – also known as Destruction – roam freely now that she had escaped from her imprisonment. Her name was certainly ominous, and her imprisonment must have been for some reason. She was a dangerous threat. He was trapped with indecision and time was running out. He needed to make a move. It was fight or flight. It was attack or stand still. And he had been passive in his life for far too long. His experiences in Wonderland have taught him a lot about taking control. He felt this journey had meant something – it simply had to stand for something more than met the eye – he just needed to seize the opportunity while it was in his reach. He couldn’t just sit by. He needed to stand up and fight. He needed to defeat the Red Queen. He needed to get out of Wonderland once and for all. He needed to return to the real world and realize the dreams that he had since arriving – the mysterious dreams that inverted his past nightmares, the glimpses of his future from the looking pool – he needed to make things happen, and he wasn’t going to miss out on that chance. The cowboy drew his weapon as he charged forward into the fray of battle. He knew he was taking a risk – in more ways than he could truly count – but the rewards have outweighed the risks thus far in his journey through Wonderland, and he was running on the hope that the pattern wouldn’t end now. As McCowboy drew neared to the Red Queen, he lunged forward and swung his weapon for a powerful strike. He was taking control of his destiny.

[120 Damage TOTAL][50 Damage] As McCowboy fought in battle, he couldn’t help but ask one question. “IS THIS THE REAL LIFE?” he asked. “IS THIS JUST FANTASY? CAUGHT IN A LANDSLLIDE, NO ESCAPE FROM REALITY.” “OPEN YOU EYES, LOOK UP TO THE SKIES AND SEE,” he demanded to his comrades. He didn’t need their pity. “I’M JUST A POOR BOY, I NEED NO SYMPATHY. BECAUSE I’M EASY COME, EASY GO. LITTLE HIGH, LITTLE LOW.” He still could not be sure this battle was the right move. “ANYWAY THE WIND BLOWS DOESN’T REALLY MATTER TO ME.” He paused dramatically. “TO ME.” He became overwhelmed with emotion and started to confessing to the crime he had committed in his nightmare even though he had never committed it. “MAMA. JUST KILLED A MAN. PUT A GUN AGAINST HIS HEAD, PULLED MY TRIGGER, NOW HE’S DEAD. MAMA, LIFE HAD UST BEGUN! BUT NOW I’VE GONE AND THROWN IT ALL AWAY!” “MAMA, OOO-OOOH!” he weeped. “DIDN’T MEAN TO MAKE YOU CRY, IF I’M NOT BACK AGAIN THIS TIME TOMORROW, CARRY ON, CARRY ON, AS IF NOTHING REALLY MATTERS.” The Red Queen had struck him for a significant part of his health. “TOO LATE. MY TIME HAS COME,” he wept some more. “SENDING SHIVERS DOWN MY SPINE, BODY’S ACHING ALL THE TIME. GOODBYE, EVERYBODY. I’VE GOT TO GO. GOTTA LEAVE YOU ALL BEHIND AND FACE THE TRUTH…” His heart raced like beating drums! “MAMA, OOO-OOH!” he pleaded some more. “I DON’T WANT TO DIE! I SOMETIMES WISH I’D NEVER BEEN BORN AT ALL!” Suddenly, the course of the battle seemed to change. Everything started to just a little bit more up-tempo. There was hope as more players arrived to the battlefield! “I SEE A LITTLE SILHOUETTO OF A MAN,” he called, relieved at the sight of some more aide. He prayed for them to do their ability cards, including the ones that he found to be very very frightening. Out of nowhere, he started speaking in Italian. “SCARAMOUCHE, SCARAMOUCHE, WILL YOU DO THE FANDANGO? THUNDERBOLTS AND LIGHTNING, VERY VERY FRIGHTNING ME! He didn’t know much Italian, but continued to say other Italian words that he knew, which was really just one person’s name and ‘magnificent.’ “GALILEO! GALILEO! GALILEO! GALILEO! GALILEO FIGARO! MAGNIFO!” He was looking pretty weird at this point and started to take pity on himself. “I’M JUST A POOR BOY AND NOBODY LOVES ME,” he said. This level of attention-whoring emo behavior was common amongst the internet, and should be no surprise to anyone in this MMORPG. “HE’S JUST A POOR BOY FROM A POOR FAMILY, SPARE HIM HIS LIFE FROM THIS MONTROSITY,” he hoped they would respond. “EASY COME, EASY GO, WILL YOU LET ME GO?” he begged with the Red Queen to return back to the real world. “BISMILLAH! NO WE WILL NOT LET YOU GO,” he expected the Red Queen to cry. “LET HIM GO!” he shouted in his own defense, playing multiple roles in what was now a one-man play in his own delusions. “BISMILLAH! NO WE WILL NOT LET YOU GO.” “LET HIM GO!” “BISMILLAH! NO WE WILL NOT LET YOU GO.” “LET ME GO!” he begged – again, to himself, because he was seriously breaking down mentally. “WE WILL NOT LET YOU GO,” he said to his right shoulder. “LET ME GO!” he pleased to his left. “NEVER, NEVER LET YOU GO.” “NEVER LET ME GO? OH!” “NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!” “OH MAMA MIA, MAMA MIA,” he cried. “MAMA MIA LET ME GO! BEELZEBUB HAS A DEVIL PUT ASIDE FOR ME! FOR ME! FOR ME!” He fell to his knees, but felt invigorated as if a rock song playing in his heart lifted his spirits and ready for battle. “SO YOU THINK YOU CAN STONE ME AND SPIT IN MY EYE? SO YOU THINK YOU CAN LOVE ME AND LEAVE ME TO DIE?” he challenged. “OH BABY. YOU CAN’T DO THIS TO ME BABY.” “JUST GOTTA GET OUT, JUST GOTTA GET RIGHT OUTTA HERE,” he reminded himself of his goal. “OH, YEAH! OH YEAH!” This battle’s results would be a mystery, but he was ready for whatever came in this strange, fictional world. “NOTHING REALLY MATERS, ANYONE CAN SEE. NOTHING REALLY MATTERS. NOTHING REALLY MATTERS, TO ME,” he sighed. “ANYWAY THE WIND BLOWS.” [Word Count: 713] MY STATS My character's username: McCowboy My character's level: 62 Character's HP: 20/40 Character's Job Class: Gryphon + Current party: N/A Current Guild: N/A Location:Small IC description of character: A tall and muscular lightly freckled human with a brown and gold duster coat, tight red pants, and a slanted feathered cowboy hat.

Damage Dealt in this Post: 10 (earned a fragment) Fragments: 1 Although he often felt the weight of the world was his burden alone, he knew deep down it wasn't true. Somewhere. Tenya urged him not to over think so much, not to allow so much pressure on himself. Gravity willed his resolve to remain strong. A lot had happened up to this point, and he felt he'd begun to understand himself a little more. He'd come to be a little more comfortable with himself. He was flawed, but he could grow. The white rabbit struck again, allowing every blow he received to fuel his own drive to push forward.

201 Sweetm00n gathered with the other white players in front of the final boss. While part of her felt that fighting this boss was clearly the right way to progress, the other remembered what she had seen in the puppet room. She had fled exactly when ALICE had started to get more menacing than she was comfortable with, and was now stuck writhing in the agonies of indecision. Was all this fighting and leveling and working towards loot and skills and strength only making things worse for them all? It had sounded, from the way she was talking, as though they wouldn't be ... living for very longer. They'd be replaced by those puppets, and while she was perfectly fine with the puppet taking over her role in the game, the fact that they were supposed to be taking over her body in the real world, well. She had plans for that body. That body was supposed to take her places, make her someone. Also, she didn't want to die. And that's what it would be, wouldn't it? ALICE had said that they wouldn't stay here, they wouldn't return, and although she hadn't specified what would happen, it was probably again to 'avoid undue distress'. As she stood, trying to make sense of her tangled mess of thoughts, one thing came out clear in her mind. She didn't want to do anything that would make her chances of survival less, but at the same time, there was no way she could just sit by idle if it would make things worse. And while she didn't understand what people had been talking about with ... artifacts and all that, she did understand that the queens were a problem. And that this game was designed to entrap them, and keep them from breaking out. Even the other players hadn't debated that, had seemed ok with that idea. So maybe, if they overwhelmed the queens, beat them back so thoroughly that they ... died or, were so weak they would never recover, ALICE wouldn't feel that it would make any sense to replace the characters. Because there would be no logical need, if there was nothing for them to fight in the real world. Or something like that. One hand out, and they syringe was there, formed from the cards in her deck. With her brow still wrinkled, sweetm00n took a step forward. She knew from watching that fighting ALICE was completely pointless. Even the strongest characters had been useless against her, which made sense. So. Really the only way out of this was to try and play the game so well that - that maybe this horrible thing wouldn't happen. She squinted at that. Yeah, it had sounded better when it was just a vague idea floating in the back of her mind rather than an actual concept. But at this point, there was nothing else she could think of doing. So with a worried sigh, she stepped forward to defend and heal the rest of her faction as best she could, hoping that they would decimate this queen, and that red would do the same. After all, if they were all going to be destroyed, and were all fighting for their lives, then really, ultimately, they were all on the same side, weren't they?

251 hP astra here The red queen, she wasn’t Alice, but she was a focal point for everything that he and his had suffered up to this point. She was destruction, she’d said as much. All the strange things with the glitches and the puppets, the shadowy and terrifying creatures that they had fought, crowned in horror as they trembled before a more perfect version of themselves, before their deaths, before their insecurities. “Haven’t you…and every other thing in this game, with your KEYS and your doors, and your… your, your issues about imperfection had enough of toying with us? I want to go BACK, back to where I belong, I want us all to be SAFE, I don’t want any more damned strings, I don’t want your damned white keys, I don’t want your talking flowers or your cake that makes me talk like an idiot! I want to be ME again! The only thing I am WONDERING about your wonderland is “WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO REALIZE, that YOU are just as flawed as WE ARE!” He was monologing to the sky as much as anything else, part of him was unnervingly sure that ‘Alice’, the glitch-ish creepy, pause when you didn’t expect it to, ‘A.I’ could hear them, could hear every single one of them regardless of what they did, where they said it, or when. Still, for as mad as he was that he was being used, treated like just a piece on a chess board he had learned things while he was here. He’d learned for one thing to appreciate who he was, in the moment he was in. He was exactly who he needed to be in this very moment. Yes, there were moments, like…facing down bosses that seemed a great deal larger and scarier than he was when that seemed ridiculous. But then, then he had to remember that he wasn’t alone. He was surrounded by people, fighters, healers, defenders, runners and more, uniforms that they had donned to take part in this madhouse façade of a ‘game’ that had tugged them like the puppets they had appeared to be. It was time to cut the damned strings. He had to laugh when he heard the singing, it was a very strange song indeed, almost familiar if the lyrics seemed sort of off. But the very idea that someone was just… singing. It was the most amusing, most ridiculously defiant thing he could have imagined in that moment. He couldn’t fly with them, he couldn’t lift free of the bounds of gravity and fly like he had in his dream but he could raise them…so he did. He spread his wings, fanned his tail feathers and stood proud… a mouse, a monster, anything but a puppet no matter what it wanted him to be. He wasn’t its toy, its plaything. He was so much more than that and no game, no pretence at perfection could ever hope to take that away from him. “HEY!!!... GO ASK ALICE, WHAT THE DOOR MOUSE SAID!” he shouted. The lyrics to an old song tumbling to mind with little context but the frustration and the pretense of a setting.

She also has glowing, long, cyan claws - her weapon as a Cat. Both the claws and the aura are not visible/barely visible out of battle, but become apparent during battle - the claws are very long and sharp, and the aura becomes a miasmic and disturbing cloud... are those eyes? No, of course not. Aside from being cool and magical, this has no effect on her stats. Its just cool. Character journal: Link

[ 367 TOTAL DAMAGE ]Battle Solo #2 He thought about all the people he knew, he thought about all the people whom he had met, he didn’t know if any of them were the same. Maybe some were monsters that were long since graduated; maybe others weren’t even ready to attend school yet. He thought of Remi, who… hadn’t he been held back a year? Was he here now? It was the kind of place he was sure that the bright blue wild smiled fox would have fun. He thought of Mai, her cold touch and her beautiful eyes, Adira and her stunning feathers and the gaze that always drifted to the feathers that spread to either side of him when he stretched his tail feathers. He liked how she admired them, and he thought that she was fun to speak to as well. He thought of Dreadpirate, what a strange person he was, he twisted the ring that wound around his finger, a silver feather, and about what the man had said. He didn’t understand most of it, it made him both curious and uneasy…and yet, he liked the man. He’d been companionable. It made him wonder about how… diverse those around him must be. It was a nice moment, a very pretty moment to stand here side by side and work as one against a greater enemy in order to return to what they knew. But he wondered in a darker moment if they could ever hope to do this if they stood side by side in the ‘real’ world. The words ‘Weapon’ and ‘used to be’ kept running in circles in his mind and he pushed them away again and again. Doubt, was that any less a detriment than the diademed shadows with their reaching shadows and clinging fears? He swallowed hard and adjusted his grip again on the great syringe that he wielded. He rather wished that the new weapon he had gained after returning to that most terrible nightmare might once again appear but he had yet to determine quite what made it appear in place of the acidic green syringe. He was a dormouse, yes, but he could do this, they might be from different lives, and places and ways, but this place for all that it was terrifying and twisted and strange proved that they could get along. It was like a blindfold, both terrifying and at the same time it had become an odd necessity to their unity. Destruction, the nature of the red queen came back to mind and he had to wonder then, because he truly didn’t know. He wondered what the nature of the white queen was. Was she creation? What if, what if the queens were just two sides to the same coin? Of course they were likely to be so on the most ultimate scale of things, it was a ‘game’ being played on all of them but… Doubt, doubt was a powerful thing and he wondered all the same if they had chosen the right side.
