You push out your lip with a slight pout and reavh out to touch the Alice's head, quickly quieting her huffing and puffing,
"Dear me Alice, you'll blow the entire castle down at that rate.. Shush now, shush. Calm yourself.."
The little noah relaxes and you slip your hand around the back of her head, pulling her forward into your bosom, giving her a darling little embrace, as you turn to Maddie among the sheets.
"A double hug for our adorable little sister?"
Maddie grabs you by your shoulders, and pulls you and Alice into her own body as you wrap your own underneath her arms. The three of you warm, and Alice struggling to get out of your twin valleys of death.
"Mhaammmff mmmhmmm grsshhh!"

After a few moments, you release Alice from the prison and she falls to the bed, gasping for air and with her face as red as a beet, nose letting out a bit of blood.
"Oh my, I think we broke her," You muse.
"S'pose we'll need to find a new cute little sister.. Shame, I'd actually grown fond of her." Maddie shrugs, the two of you begin to get up and Alice raises a hand.
"Get..Get the right glass.. I'm.... I', going to nap.."

Seems it's up to just you and Maddie.
"Ah, I wanted to mention..."
"The eye?"
"Yes. you have it?"
"I have it."
"In the right."
"Yes."
"Interesting."

The two of you split up, shuffling through countless little mirrors upon the makeup table, trying cups, and even looking from the window..
It all seems for naught until..
You hold up a particularly ordinairy glass, and peer with your lens.

You see nothing but darkness and a great eye peer back at you, a great voice bellowing back out, speaking words into your mind instead if your ears.
"Apparishiously, there rises to reason that a creature of treason, would find me, the heathen. Haveth you the humpdumply uvakred sword of death that t'is my own bane of unlife and redeath?"

You have found the Jabberwockey.

>>27049211
Dear Alice,

I'm worried about my position in my group of Akuma. It seems like everybody decided to max their personality while I was the only one who focused on improving my weaponry and physical stats. The new member in my group, this woman named Flower, already seems like she has more character than me! I'm worried that if I don't do anything, I'll just keep on staying in the background. What should I do to become more interesting?

From,
Nondescript Archer

>>27049337
Dear Pitiful Akuma,

I know who you are, and what you come from. I suggest you try some of your leader's delightful snacks. I was as boring as a doorknob in Alice's eyes until I tried these delightful little potato snacks.

>With Pity, The Pity

P.S. Did I mention that my power is the Irony Of God?

>>27049410
Oh hey. He's still in Wonderland, I presume? In the parts Alice partitioned away, anyway.

>>27049546

Funny you should mention this...

I'll break the news when the others arrive.

>>27049615
So, are we waiting for you to continue this post
>>27049211
Or do we
>Have control?

Hmm.. I'll continue with the next post.. I already have it written..

With the Jabberwockey found, the Queen's history uncovered, You have the pieces that you have all the pieces you need to put the horrible woman into check! Finally, oh finally Faefnir will free my dream, MY wonderland of this horrid BITCH that thinks she rules the place!

Faefnir, as Lady Florin, and Maddie as herself went back out to the courtyard to see the Red Queen. Maddie, telling her of the idea her betrothed had for a play of the Queen.. The Red Whore smiled that wonderfully sickening smile that she always does, the very one that enthralls all my cute and cuddly nightmares of wonderland..

I swear, I'll have her bones by the end of this..

I kept the looking glass with the Jabberwocky in hand, and made my exodus from the estate, passing through a door with the intention of going nowhere exact, and therefore going somewhere specific. Back to the real world for an odd moment..
Where else did you think I went when I'm off-screen?

Back at the camp of the crimson pawns, the mountain to their south had begun to fall, a cascade of frozen water and stone coming down, tearing away trees from their roots in the awakened earth, veins of malice running beneath the surface.

“Well, seems Faefnir's family needs an escort, hm? Should have done this before we left..” The gaggle of demons stared at me as though I was crazy or something, I suppose I shouldn't have pulled out an umbrella for this occasion. It's quite rude to do so outdoors.. isn't it?

Despite what resistance they could offer, I whisked them all away to some dumpy little old castle in Scotland, land of the highlanders where there can be only ONE!

And then, I went riiiight back to wonderland in time for Faefnir's play.. Err... I... I think.. I.. I tried..

Why can't I get into Wonderland?
….Hehe..

WHY?!

> The Narration switches...

>>27049708
Oh my.

Well, we'll have to make do without her, I suppose.

Also. Guesses for who's narrating next.
>Maaaaaaashiiiiimaaaaaaa?
>The....The Red Queen?

>>27049747

Narrating from the omniscient and possibly omnipotent enemy's perspective?

Sounds fun... Though I won't hazard myself with the tribulations.

>>27049747
Or maybe even Mashima as the Red Queen.

>>27049708
Anymore guesses?

Are we going back to the Duke?

Or....the Ham Sand Witch?

What a pitiful state I've been in.. Alice has sent me back once more to her novel Wonderland... At the very least I get to enjoy the fine company of a charming cat, a delightful hatter, and a.... erm.. ah, there's a hare here as well?
What of that..
"More tea for your delightful lordship my majesty?"
I raise a hand to the Hatter's offer," No thank you, I'm afraid that today just happens to be my birthday.. The saddest day of all my existence... That I must come to this world, bearing all the evils of my ancestors..."
The cat saunters over, stepping around his recently established zen garden of mice-skulls," Now, now my friend.." The feline vanishes, its smile bouncing over to rest upon my face."There are far worse things in this world than your birth."

I dip a crumpet into a light vinegar oil, idly"Oh? Would you care to enlighten me upon the subject?"
The cat's form wraps around my face as it returns into reality, biting the oiled treat in twain before looking to me, right in the eye,"Things that would steal your snacks, of course!"
The Hare jittersm, giggling about in his seat at the messy tea-table," Oh, y-yyou don't n-n-need to worrry about this day! Tomorrow, and all the tomorrows after will be your unbirthday!"

"Me? Having an.. Unbirthday? Whatever is that?" A red shadow falls upon the table, the feline's bushy tail begins to wrap itself around my neck, and as I make a reach to pull it, the Hatter skewers my hand with a fork, pinning it to the table.
"Stay down, relax, and enjoy your eternal unbirthday Master Noah.. It has been far too long in the making."

Could this be the way that I end? Killed by a cat, hare, and a hatter mad?
The Hare draws a rapier, and points it to the sky as it takes on a red-tint. "Death to the Noah and all that follow!"
The others echo him, staring me deep in the eyes.

My my... What a.. Pity.

__________________________________________

>>27050059
Pffft.

Knew it.

>>27050059
Is there a Dormouse there? There should be one somewhere. Maybe hiding in one of the teapots, perhaps?

Yes, yes.. It was the Dormouse.
The dormouse undid the drain that was plugged.
When the tea was spilled it never stopped its pour.
Like a sea it filled my soon to be death, and away I went into the whole of wonderland...

T'was a wedding party I saw with props for plays there. An enchanting queen of red with matching hair.
I could do not much more than stare, she smiled at me before pointing there.

Where my brother and sister of bonds had put on their airs.
"Faefnir" I whispered, yet his attention not caught, for he was acting out his most brilliant plot.
The lead not he or his good-girl Maddie.
Nay, it was a woman whom played her part sadly.

She spoke of her coming-from's and hither-to's.
How of nothing she did would ever do.

The Lady of Red, she wept for this girl.
For the part in this play was the part of her own.
A tender bawl
A shy drawl.
Another boohoo
And round once more from this little view.

Yet in the final scene, the most powerful of things.
Faefnir had vanished, neither seen.
Neither Dreamed.

Yet as I sit next to this most royal of patrons.
A woman had walked besides us with grace of a matron.

She undid her shawl, in the peripheral of all... And set it upon the Red Queen.
Whom dropped her jaw.

So continues my telling of my dear Bondomu....

>[] What did he say within this action?

>>27050279
Who is he? Maashiima?

Also, here's an idea I had brewing for a while. If we end up decapitating the Red Queen and doing an "off with her head" reference, I was thinking we could turn her head into a weapon. Sorta like a pseudo-Gorgon's head. We could destroy the Innocence and use it as an ingredient to make some new STLIN' hair and basically retain the Red Queen's abilities to some degree, maybe even with some twist to it. And we could give it to Alice as a gift! I'm sure she'd appreciate it.

>>27050279
From what I can gather, we are Lady Florin right now, and just draped the fur coat onto the Red Queen? So what does Mr. M see us do next?

Get it? He pities the fool.

>>27050397
"He" is faefnir.
>>27050459
Indeed.
I just found what his last name should be.. hehehehe...

As for the Gorgon's head... You're in for a surprise...
i believe that I mentioned Innocence weapons weren't one-trick ponies in Akuma quest...

>>27050493
Yeah, but if we're converting it into some pseudo-Akuma weapon, we'd only be able to get one aspect of it, right?

Like with Maddie. She only got the golden protection and the only reason she has the other abilities now (that I assume were derived from her Innocence) was because we made her into a Noah, right?

Hmm

>>27050520
also, she became a covert enemy while wielding innocence

>>27050279
>"The finale is at hand, my Queen. Won't you join us on stage?"

>>27050544
Hm? I don't think that's actually related to what I was saying. But you did remind me that Maddie may have gotten access to some more of her old abilities because of her contact with her Innocence.

>>27050279
Oh, I just thought of something.

"Your fine fur coat I return to you.
A wonderful coat that served you true.
'til the day God separated you two.
For it was the duty of God that you left to do."

anyone want to add more? I'll try to think of some more myself

>>27050575
Gonna go with this, if only to get more information on the situation. We must insist the coat is important to the play if she tries to remove it.

>>27050604
I like this.

>>27050604
Disregard previous statement, Acquire Bakanon goodness. Though perhaps inviting her to give up her queenly seat and join us on stage would fit nicely in there somewhere.

>>27050604
Oh yes, this is a nice rhyme.

>>27050493
>>27050520
Or wait. Are you saying she could survive being decapitated?

>>27050604
This. And then
>>27050575

As you place the coat upon the Queen's shoulders, you lean over her ear.. So close to that lovely red hair of hers.. you almost want to nuzzle your head into the glorious mass... Yet you resist for Madeleine would be most upset.. Most upset indeed if you converted to the enemy for such a mundane reason..

"My majesty, Your fine fur coat I return to you.
A wonderful coat that served you true.
'til the day God separated you two.
For it was the duty of God that you left to do..."
The Queen's body visibly shivers, a slight moan escaping her lips, she looks back to you with a smile.
"Lady Of The Flor, wherever did you hear such a thing.." Her voice slips through her lips like warm milk and honey, you could almost swoon.
"A simple tail I've heard from no particular-where. I believe that they call you to the stage."
The Queen brings a red and black fan to her lips,"My.. They do?"

Upon the stage, Maddie and the Chair-woman beckon directly toward the Red Queen.
She appears almost touched," Ah, indeed. it is true." She looks back to you,"I am indeed touched, I must go down there at once! Would you keep this friend of yours company?"

You look to the seat upon the side, there sits Maashiima, seeming delirious and smiling with the giddiness of wonderland. As the Queen departs, you close in on him, a hushed and harsh whisper,"What in the Devil's name are you doing here?! Do you intend to ruin everything? Where's Alice?! She's been gone for weeks now!"
Maashiima brushes you away, laughing," I have no mean to trouble you my friend, no means from me at all!
I.. I wonder about Alice missing however.. Was she not with you?
Ahh.. By the way, have you seen a cat that smiles?
It seems to have disappeared amidst my would-be murder.." He places a gloved hand to his mouth, thinking intently and disregarding you.

The Red Queen is now upon the stage, speaking quietly with Maddie and the Chair woman for the last scene in the last act..
It is here that she is meant to command the chair-woman "Off with your head!"
At least, with how the play is written. Nay. It is here, that after recounting the tail, that this is the Queen's only way to freedom... to lose her own head.. Hopefully she understands the message within.. she has not seemed all too troubled by the play so far...

You had thought the coat would have a definite impact...

>[] Go down there to include yourself in the final scene, despite being impromptu acting..
>[] Issue the command yourself.
>[] Do... something about Maashiima.. Wait, what was that about a cat?
>[] (Other)

>>27050947
>Let's help out Maashiima; use the Eye of Truth to search for the cat.

>>27050947
Gotta save off with her head for when we unleash the wocky, which isn't here right now if Alice had him.

Or we could use it as a synchro-command to start our creation engine with Maddie, and MAKE a Jabberwocky of our own design...

>>27051053
Or.
We become the Jabberwocky ourselves.

>>27050947
The coat was just one component, really. We neglected to do anything about the Queen's "iron shell". Although if our interactions with it were of any use, it showed us one "chink" in her armor; the Queen wants to die.

>>27050947
>clearly we need to break the fourth wall to let Alice back into Wonderland. We are now "the Director" we need the Actors to complain to us about the script at which point we will summon the screen-underwriter (I.e. unpaid intern with an English Liturature degree - Alice) to make sense of the lines and staging.

When I say "we" I mean us, the voices in Faefnir's head.

>>27051112
Seconding.

>>27051053
we couldnt even make a ham sandwitch here without it trying to kill us.

>>27051160
Because we didn't focus.

>>27051160
Our mistake there was non-specificity. There are many meaning and interpretations of the sandwich, There is but one Jabberwocky, as described by the poem. Reciting the poem in tandem with Maddie would ensure the clarity of the creation, we also have a much higher synch rating now than we had then, a mere 2 to our now 7.

>>27051184

Heh, you scored a 1 on that. The best score for synch-rolls.

It was because Wonderland likes to mess with you.

A pity...

At this point I'm hoping our acting sends him into Maximum Over-Pity.

>>27051338
>*OUR eye of truth

>>27051374
Maashiima was asking where the cat was, saying it had disappeared. I don't think it was mentioned that the cat died.

You have your hand at Maashiima,"You.. I.. Well.. I'll look for the cat, though I haven't got the time for this, I must make my way back to the stage for what is to come in rather short time.
"Oh yes, do what you must madame Faefnir.. I am only here for the view after all.. A pity that we could not be on friendlier terms for this ploy of yours. It seems like you have a grand sort of plot to transpire."
You smile at the Noah, exposing your- Lady Florin's white teeth," Oh, indeed. Indeed I do. Careful not to get in the way dear."
You turn with a flourish and stroll on down the steps to center stage, scanning about the crowd with your lens of truth.. Seeing all manner of the Queen's bits of history from the seemingly random crowd...
Once-Akuumas. events in her life. Men that she had indeed bed, and so-forth. You had been quite wary of this day for this very reason..
Yet even with your eye, you see no cat here... What in the devil had he been speaking of?

"My days.. They are numbered, as I am confined to this land of wonder... Shall I be Queen of Red?" The Chair woman acts exceptionally for this role... You were amazed at how easily she had picked this all up.. Then again.. it is indeed her own story.
"Or shall I be one with no head?! The itching still does not stop... Oh, however could I make the itching stop?"

You disappear to the backstage in the center of the theatre, peering upon the play from the back,, The time is to come shortly..
"My dear!" The Red Queen begins her proposed part," It is not for you to become Queen of this land. Indeed not, for the Queen is already dead!"
That wasn't part of the script...
"She lives on in spirit, in her soul..." The Queen smiles to everyone, and even back to you.
"In the innocence... and this land..."

The crowd rings out in a chorus of applause, Maddie looks back to you, a seriousness within her eyes..
The Red Queen raises her hands into the air, absorbing the thunder from the crowd, her smile simply glowing..

>[] Pincer attack with Maddie(State method)
>[] Under the applause, pull Maddie of stage.
>[] Initiate Creation Engine.
>[]Watch and wait.
>[] (Other)

>>27051792
The Queen may be empowered by the adoration of the crowd. I say, we dim the lights and, with our eye of truth, erase and slowly replace the seated audience with people more....suitable to what we have in mind. Creation Engine: Let's bring in the shadow children!

>>27051918
Hmmm...
>>27051773
>Seeing all manner of the Queen's bits of history from the seemingly random crowd...

Aside.. Slow night tonight.

>>27051935
The crowd is all her memories and past insecurities, we need them to turn against her. Sadly I am no great wordsmith, we need to upstage the queen though.

>>27052004
This one's a little hard to attack, needs thinking time, we are on the final boss of Wonderland without our planned secret weapon after all...I'm looking for good creation engine inspiration as we speak...

>>27052004
Yeah, mostly lurking right now, can't think straight for some reason. I guess the only idea I have is to suddenly add an act to the play, strip the skin of the chair woman and hand the exorcist robes it will become to the queen, taking back the coat and drapping it on the chairwoman. Then summon the iron maiden and throw the child queen (chair woman) and every anti exorcist memory the queen has into it. Bake for thirty seconds and extract the mirror twin of the red queen (the black queen) and go to war with hearty with maddie and our new ally (i hope) at our side. That's all I got.

>>27052072
What can we make with the creation engine? The only idea I have is to replace the audience.

We need to remind the Queen that the love that people feel for her....is because of her hair.

Strip the Queen! If the crowd truly loves her, they will love her when she has nothing!

>>27052156

I actually.. rather like that.. though you'll need a properly distracting thing to enact it in full...

As this is a decisive moment. The calm before the storm.. I'll await further discussion and a decision to be reached before continuing.

If you have questions about the current scene that I may answer, please do ask.

>>27052215
A distraction you say? Well then! If I may....

Raise the stage! Up high, far above! Props and special effects! If the Queen wishes to be adored, then let us put her on a pedestal where all can see her.

Use the creation engine to alter the stage and create a miniature tower for the Queen to stand on. Feed her ego.

>>27052215
WHY ARE YOU ENCOURAGING ME!!!

"Ok folks, while we reset for the improved finale I've got one more class act for you. It's called 'haaaaave you met the Pity?!" basically, you dear Maashhiimma, will roast the powers that be in wonderland for their entertainment.

Now I'm going to get dinner so if that don't fly someone else open up a can of /ideas!/ whoppass. 'K?

>>27052287
I assume that the amphitheater we're performing in is of a suitable size for a fight?

I did.

>>27052462
The queen is dead
Off with her head
That's what she said
The queen is dead.

>>27052156
Going with this for the plan...

You need a distraction however...

>[]Raise Queen's podium of the amphitheater, let her bask in the applause, the glory of it all.
>[]Redirecting everyone's attention to Maashiima.
>[] Create a giant Hostile cake or some other wondrous aberration.

>>27052610
My vote goes to the first option.

>>27052610
Yes. Why settle for but one highly backfireable distraction when we cans do all three?

>>27052682

Hrmm.. Doing all three will split attention... Wouldn't recommend it.

>>27052610
>[x] Raise the platform

Theory: The more powerful the queen becomes, the more powerful her mirror will be.

>>27052728
Actually, since they are one being would that make her mirror less powerful? If the innocent queen is hogging all the power?

>>27052610
Raise plate with queen on top. Make her a cake. Make /her/ a cake.

>>27052610
I'm for the first option, lets save the man eating cake for if we go to france and meet that queen.

>>27052795
I don't think so. We're trying to make a mirror based on the Red Queen's self-loathing, so I'd say the mirror would be more powerful the more unstable the Queen is.

>>27052859
>Let them eat.....queen?

>>27053519
Read the sticky, or people's email fields.
Also rolls only count when the Duke asks for em.

You lock eyes with Maddie, and the two of you nod, a new plan formulating between your twin minds..
The two of you must do something, and fast, and it'll take a spectacle to see it through to completion.

Your lips curl into a smile as between the two of you, a plan is finished, a most exquisite one at that.

The Red Queen still stands upon the stage as the applause rains down upon. Flowers, biscuits, bubbles, confetti, and sparkles.
Quite enough of that now though, isn't it?
You slip from backstage, and hold Maddie's hand, looking to the chair-woman who's blushing with sheer embarrasment at the absurdity of it all.
"I.. I am not comfortable with all this recognition... Oh my.." She can barely look upon the crowd, aiming her head down.
"Now, now, that isn't something that the star of this performance should say..." You whisper to the woman, your eyes upon the red queen.
"It's only just begun after all..."Maddie purrs with her amusement barely restrained, her hand upon yours, soft, tender, yet strong...
A good feeling to have, and a familiar one.

>Synchrate 8/10

The two of you touch the Queen's shoulders, gripping the coat as she tenses slightly," Oh my, so forward! What are you.."
"Please now your majesty, eyes forward, this is for the show..." You say, your eyes shifting to Maddie
"You're going to go up now, to be raised above all others, can't have you wearing this there."" Maddie clucks her tongue and then looks to you, a bright smile.

"Ah," The Queen giggles slightly," I suppose I can humor the two..." She raises her arms to let the coat slide from her shoulders, as she waves to the crowd.
You and Maddie flip a lever that's just come into being that slowly and surely raises the queen, out of view of what you are about to do.
"With me now Maddie," The two of you throw the coat upon the Chair-woman, much to her surprise, she becomes a fairly younger version of herself.

"This is where it starts..."
"Indeed my love.."

Just the two of you... You and Madeleine, sharing your thoughts.. You begin to remold this reality, distorting what is, isn't, shouldn't be, and would never.
The two of you call upon the Iron Maiden from this land, and your memories, the creature slips into reality as a stage prop, glaring back at you with boredom as the rest of the crowd distracts the Red Queen with their endless cheering.
"So, that's what the two of you have in mind?... Interesting..." The face upon the maiden smiles with viscious, blood red iron spikes before opening up her confines, spreading he bed of nails and spikes.

"Wh-what.. What are you going to do to me?" The Teenage facade of the Red Queen looks between the two of you, receiving only cruel, yet warm smiles.
"Indeed, that is the question you should be asking." Maddie places a hand upon the girl's right shoulder.
"Though not the one that you'd like the answer to." You place your hand upon her left shoulder.

Before the young lady even has a chance to scream, you and Maddie grip into her flesh, and fling her into the Iron Maiden, whom closes abruptly, her eyes welling up with tears of ecstasy.
"Oh by God do I feel complete having something within me... Ohh.. I feel her blood leaking, making my insides red..." The Maiden's eyes begin to leak tears of blood. "You're not done yet though.. Oh... Make her suffer!"

You lay your hands upon the Iron coffin,"Funny thing that you should tell-"
Madeleine does the same, smiling with her own euphoria"-Us to inflict suffering."
The two of you begin to twist and mold the reality of the contents and coffin itself.. Warping it and making it scream with unrivaled passion.
"YESSS!!! YES!!! I THANK YOU FOR THIS!! GRANT MY WISH YOU DEMONS!!! GRANT IT!!!"

The applause slowly comes to an end, and the eyes of the Red Queen are upon you,"What in heaven's name do you think that you're doing? We are in the middle of a performance, are we not?"

"Indeed!" You roar back at her.
"This is the NEW grand finale!" Maddie laughs madly as the whole of the Iron Maiden begins to resemble a mirror.

"Complete!" The two of you reach into the mirror, grabbing hold of the reflection within...
"To think this actually worked. My love, we are brilliant!" The form begins to come through.
"This is entirely you my dear, let us.. see.. the fruit of our labor!"

The two of you tear a mirror image of the Queen.. Only.. For everywhere that there had been Red... There is now black, and her smile is as bittersweet as black licorice, yet just as perfect and beautiful as the Red Queen.
The creation of yours and Maddie's looks herself over, looks to the crowd, and smiles.
"Wonderland Rule #1029: All figments shall expose themselves for what they are... Lest they be torn away from the mind that imagined them..." Her lips curl with absolute hate and a smidgen of malice," Let it be carried upon the Devil Queen's command." She waves her arm out and the entire crowd is slowly wiped out of existence, right along with the amphitheater...
The Devil Queen looks back to you, and Maddie,"So I finally get to see these two curiosities with mine own eye.. I expected taller... No matter." Her gaze is cold, appraising more than it is seeing you...

All that remains is a nearly empty world of black with a crescent moon and wicked, bare trees.

The Red Queen falls, yet lands gracefully upon her feet, much like a cat, her eyes baring no hatred in the slightest. "A pleasure to meet your acquaintance.. Yet, if I may ask.. What is all of this about destroying the host's mind?"
"I did not think that you cared for a suicidal host, innocence. Why care for her for so long?"

The Red Queen's lips curl into a smile that you'd think impossible, literally drawing up the sides of her face,"Why, to let her die would be an affront to god and an inconvenience to myself... Say.. What brings the devil into the mad mind of a tainted Noah?"

>What do you have to say in all of this?

>>27054199
Hmmm. Pop corn for the peanut gallery?

>>27054199
oh my god. we just gave the dark presence a form.

>>27054199
We brought the devil to wonderland.
There is only one thing to say in this situation.

"Off with her head!"

Then double suicide for Noah form FINAL BATTLE if possible.

>>27054199
What indeed? Justice? Mercy? Or perhaps it was all simply whimsy? To append an end to a tale that has gone on for far too long.

>>27054289
Oh, and it's going to kill Wonderland. Don't forget that.

>>27054199
>trick question right?

>>27054501

Granted.
What do you do or say in all of this?

Oh, and I should mention that the creation of the Devil Queen has raised you to 9/10 Synch... Heheh..

>>27054199
"Well then, time to go! Hope you two enjoy your meeting." grab pity and forge an exit with Maddie. Too bad we're down the best Noah, but thems the breaks.

>>27054522
...Out of curiosity, did the teenaged queen remind us of anyone? Perhaps a certain imouto?

I can't help but think we were supposed to solve the puzzle of how Alice got trapped outside before engaging, I have a sinking feeling in the direction of our adorable little sister. Seems like the Red Queen's innocence has latched onto her mind.

>>27054489
we are going to make it into a Deadman Wonderland.

>>27054591
We needed the cat since it can travel between worlds. It's essentially a moving back door or wonderland. Since we didn't see it I figured we should move on. Then the crit happened and we summoned Satan. Damning Alice and crippling her utility to us since she will end up under the devil's control, and it's agenda is not our own.

>>27054591

The reason for it had actually been due to the devil's influence.
The presence found wonderland and made something go wrong in it.
This was the reason that the madness aligned Cat, Hatter, and Hare had decided to try murdering Maashiima.

Alice was trapped outside due to interference... The teenaged Queen was in fact the Red Queen's younger self.

>>27054657
Well at least we aren't inadvertently killing Alice via the destruction of her future self which latched onto her past self because the exorcists picked a sleeping Noah as an Exorcist. We ARE a Noah-turned-demon after all, why not Exorcists.

We're still probably inadvertently killing Alice

>>27054657
Ok. I can think of only one hail Mary throw left is we want to save Alice. Take the mirror we summoned the black queen through, stretch it out and then slam it down on the pair. Hopefully it will send both of them to whatever he'll we pulled the queen of spades from and break the portal so they can't return in the process.

Out of ideas. And going to bed. Good luck all, you desperately need it.

>>27054739
Alice /is/ her Dream, her Wonderland. The black queen will annihilate Wondrland itself...also, Alice, the Noah personification, isn't here right now.

>>27054657
I thought this was pretty clear.

>>27054739
Nah, I don't think it's powerful enough yet to do that. It may have infected some of the denizens of Wonderland, that's pretty much not that different from what the Red Queen has done. We can probably remove the devil more easily than her, since WE'RE the one its following.

Dammit people! We need to get our synch up to 11/10 if we want to unify with Maddie! Think of things we can do together already.

>>27054873
It probably was, I'm just kinda stupid right now, and had a silly theory about Alice being the Red Queen.

Either way, let's go with the mirror idea, we need to take this fight outside.

Rolled 30

>>27054987
Time for murder cake?

"Off with her head!" You and Maddie call out at once, commanding the Devil Queen as the two of you clasp both hands together, pointing them to the Red Queen.

The Devil Queen looks back to you, turning slowly, her eyes like pits of coal, black and dead, devoid of life, yet full of beauty
With a bat of her eyes, lashes like Spider's legs," And who do you think that you two command? Wonderland Rule #2048 All whom command the Devil Queen..."
"Vetoed." The Red Queen utters the word with a casual stare as she slowly walks around the black earth of this decrepit place.
Her crimson smile bearing a faint glow, even here."I will tell you of something, you pair of demons.. and pitiful Noah. This one now has a priority in my mind... If you assist me in destroying her, I swear upon the name of the Almighty God, our Lord and Father in heaven... That I will begrudgingly permit you to leave this place this once..."
She stops, her smile fading into a statuesque stare,"This one takes absolute precedence. I cannot tolerate this... thing."

"How dare you call me that." The Black Queen sneers, twisting what contents you have in your stomach at her sick beauty," I should offer a similar dealing then. Aid me in killing this Innocence, and I will see that you all leave here, unharmed."
The Red Queen shakes her head slowly," You should not believe this one, for she is the maker of lies... She will betray you...

Seriously, every idea I've come up with this thread has been a stall attempt while hoping to get the ball rolling and other Anons to chime in. And I keep making things worse.

>>27055032
Through the looking glass with them. Let's try to go somewhere where we aren't facing down two omnipotent beings, just one. Or if I'm correct and Mirrors in Wonderland are Prisons, that works just fine too. Shove em in.

>>27055032
>Kill them both.
Pity will use the chance to off us, but it's our only shot at saving Alice. So one of us "helps" the devil and the other "helps" the innocence, periodically switching sides. We get them weak, merge our self, kill them and get pity to do his thing and make sure that they stay dead.

Oh hey, just remembered that the devil was on earth chasing us and pretty close to our family when we summoned it. Food for thought before we teleport it and a general class Exocist back where it came from.

That theory could never work. It was explicitly stated that the Red Queen was an exorcist who ambushed Alice along with a few others who did the same to the other Noah.

>>27055206
I had actually intended at one point for the Red Queen to be the real "Alice" fighting for dominance over wonderland, and "Alice" being the resulting persona of the internal war... I scrapped that as I fleshed out the Red Queen's innocence...

>>27055232
Yes she does.

I also find it curious that no one's brought up the key words in dialogue between the Black and Red queens...

>>27055258
Nope, over my head. Unless you mean that apparently the two of them have some way to send us home.

>>27055258
I don't understand what you're talking about. What key words? Devil Queen? Pair of demons? Pitiful Noah?

>"I did not think that you cared for a suicidal host, innocence.
-The Black Queen

>>27055367
It seems pretty clear what she's referring to here. Either it's referring to the Innocence and its bond with the Red Queen, or the Red Queen and her bond to Alice.

>>27055367
The Innocence is forcibly keeping Queenie alive? I kinda placed that as a 'neither here nor there' especially since you explained why it was doing it in the same post...

>>27055367
Oh, so Alice wants to die. Can't let her back in here then, though that also makes her less than useful.

>>27055394
>>27055423
Oooooooh.

>>27055423

No. It's the exorcist that wants to die, after having been trapped here for so long... As previously uncovered.

The key here.. It's the innocence speaking.

>>27055458
that means... Not all the actors are on stage for the performance! oh, how embarrassing.

>>27055367
Yeah, didn't see the relevance since we pretty much destroyed what was left of the exorcist's soul to bring devil queen over. I figured the innocence was puppeting an empty but living body at this point. I guess we could help the red queen and then try to Power of Friendship her into rejecting the innocence, but I doubt that would work out well. Alternatively we could force the innocence to go berserk, but that would leave a lot of property damage in Alice's mind.

>>27055458
Yes? I thought that was pretty clear as well. Basically what this guy said.
>>27055412
There's nothing we can really do about it, is there? It's interesting, but nothing that really affects us. I think?

>>27055478
Hmm...HMMMM.

SUGGESTION: Present the two Queens with a mirror.

We have the Queen who represents the Exorcist.

And the Queen who represents Resentment.

We should talk to the Queen who represents Humanity.

>>27055510
If Alice is the White Diamond.

The Queen of Hearts is the Red Heart.

And the Devil Queen is the Black Spade.

We're only missing one more participant....

And of course, WE are the Joker.

>>27055510
THE WHITE QUEEN.

>>27055458
Well, we already knew that though. The young queen was the exorcist, the older was the innocence, right? Still the hint seems to be help the red queen while convincing her to suicide. Not sure how to go about that though.

Aside, I'll take a

>>27055527
But Alice is barred from Wonderland at present. Huh, wouldn't it be funny if Alice was an exorcist that awakened as a Noah, then once it became clear that it couldn't kill her the innocence tried to incapacitate her by driving her insane?

Kinda what I was going for. For all the rolling with the punches we've done, I can't help but think all this playing by other peoples rules has to be wearing on our nerves. We are a creator, a Patri/Matriarch, a Noah, and dammit, people need to respect us as such. Lines in the sand and such things.
