You're My Friend, They're My Friends (IC Intro)

Whatever you were doing before, wherever you were before this moment it doesn't matter. The world seems to grow dark around you: an almost inaudible giggle floats to your year before you lose consciousness completely. Other it belonging to a child there's no defining characteristics of the voice. Maybe you just imagined it? Even if you did, one thing is clear when you wake up.

You're not where you were before. The bedroom you find yourself is plush and well decorated, almost like a fancy hotel or apartment. That might be little comfort considering that it's clear that you don't recognize it. Before you rush off to explore your surroundings there's a message pinned to the door to the hall.

From the desk of the Queen:

Hello, my friends dear.

I can only hope you enjoy your new life here. For those you stirring from sleep, this is my promise that I will keep: I will let you go if that is what you desire but the price for it will be quite dire.

For my rules are quite clear that I don't wish you to leave. Yet I will, if you can take the grief.

If you wish to know my name and the reasons to my game, meet in the audience hall for tea. Tea, yes, a grand tea party for my grand guests! Cake and sweets are what we need to meet. In an hour we both will be there, no peeking before!

Signed,


Instead of a signature, there's a small feline paw print underneath as well as some strange sort of heart crest?

There seems to be others moving outside your room. Perhaps it's time to explore, to see if anyone else knows what's going on. Don't slip on the playing card (an ace of hearts, with the heart shape replaced by the strange crest). That there's a scribbled phrase of 'dormez-vous? dormez-vous?' on the card but surely one of the others slipped it under your door.

This Castle seems like a strange place ot live in... yet for now it's quiet and peaceful, even if the Audience Hall is locked.

I only met him recently. ...Before that, I just thought of him as a storybook character.

[Boy, his outlook on things have changed rapidly since.]

Let's go.

[And with that, he'll begin walking to check some of the doors, almost like he expects her to follow.]

Well... I know that there's all kinds of adaptations and versions of Alice and the Cat, and everything else. I'm not sure what this is, but...

[It seems like Allen might have half an idea? Or at least a parallel experience. Have Niko giving you a wide-eyed look that absolutely says, so following you is bound to get us somewhere, right? ... No pressure or anything, and at least she doesn't say it out loud. Still.]

That way, is the rooms, so this way, is...

[She's not sure, actually. At this point she hasn't explored all that much. Where are they headed??]

[It's fine. Even his own Teacher put him in the lead back in the Dream, so he's kind of used to it by now.

He heads to a door that leads to the bathrooms first, opening it up and peering inside.

...Oh. There's more here.

Ah... I don't know if we should look in there first of all...

[It's not like she's opposed to having to rifle through bathrooms if they really have to, but they'd have to split up unless the bathrooms are unisex or they really want the grand tour here. Either way, looking in bathrooms seems...]

I kind of wanted to explore something a little easier?

[Or. Just more sanitary. Still, if Allen insists, maybe she'll be down for it... You never know.]

[He can agree with that, closing the door again.]

I wonder what's on the other side?

[Opening it up to find... Laundry! Wow!]
