All Hail the Queen

[whimsicalism]

[An hour passes in this strange place. There's silence for a few moments. Then loud talking starts.]

They don't seem to like me... [A young girl's voice, timid and small despite the fact that everyone can hear her.]

Does it matter? If we act like the sun or the north wind, it's no skin off our backs. [A second voice answers... the same voice? Could she just be talking to herself?] You are the Queen. All ways are your ways.

Yes. Alice is the Queen.

[At this statement, the doors quickly open. As the Queen's note said there's a large table filled with tea and sweets in the middle of the audience hall. There's even chairs for everyone. Far from the ground on an balcony is a large throne. On the throne is a young girl, with a small fluffy cat in her lap. The girl smiles briefly.]

I'm Alice the Queen.

[The cat jumps on the railing of the balcony to stare dispassionately at the gathered group before jumping on the throne herself. Within a few seconds a copy of the Queen is sitting next to her, dressed in black.]

And I'm Alice the Chesire Cat. Welcome to our Castle. [There's a dryness to the Cat's voice that is missing from the Queen's.]

I'm sure we can answer your questions! Come, it's time for Alice's Tea Party! Let's begin, Alice.

[Welcome to Wonderland.]

((OOC: It's alright to still respond to the IC intro post and there will backtagging from myself in this post if needed.))

Knights are soldiers, aren't they?

The worst sort of adult, aside from doctors.

[immaculacies]

No way! Knights and soldiers are totally different! [ Her cheeks puff, like this is what makes her angry?? ] If you think they're the same, you just don't know anything. Soldiers are just killers. Knights are protectors. They swear to keep the people of their kingdom safe, and they have a code of chivalry so that they always conduct themselves with honor! Get it?

[twinverses]

Knights are adults. That means their words can't be trusted.

[ Abruptly, Manaka's face falls. ]

That's not true at all... Now you're the one that's being rude.

[twinverses]

We know you were playing the game we stopped.

...you said Alice's magic wasn't real when you used it yourself. Not fair.

[I mean someone had to write those profiles.]

[immaculacies]

What I planned to do and what you're doing here are two different things. They don't compare. [ sigh ] Ah, but, my Holy Grail War had already ended... Hey, do you mean that you put a stop to your own?

[twinverses]

The Queen of Hearts, she--

That game's over! We don't need to talk about how it ended!

[immaculacies]

Well, it doesn't matter to me either way. Like I said, I don't mind staying for a while.

If you wanna think 'forever' means 'a while', then you can.
