TEST DRIVE #1.
 You wake up in a strange place, the smell of chocolate assailing you. The house you're in, the beds you (and the people around you) are in... all of it is made of candy, chocolate, licorice. Various confections. Lots of it is sticky. A slow fireplace crackles away behind you. It's a small, cozy cottage, and outside it's dusk. Going outside leads to woods filled with more candy shooting out of the ground, until it abruptly stops. Trying to navigate leads to an impasse, an endlessness of woods, bringing you right back to the small cottage. A well sits outside the house for drawing water, but... even the water seems to be thin chocolate. What an odd place this is. The walls are made of gingerbread. A dream like this... seems a bit crazy, doesn't it? But if you think hard enough, you can almost recall something vague. A cat, a closet. Someone mentioning a Dream. Some Keys. A strange Rabbit person... but is that really important when you're in a house filled with sweets like this? Who knows what else you could find? ... Mind the mushrooms growing all over the house's floor and the forest's pathways, and read the signs carefully. Because if you eat them... THAT food might not treat you well. (This prompt will allow you and your fellows to explore the an example of someone's Storybook together, without interruption, and see what kinds of things might result. The Cheshire Cat might pop up at any given time; other things may happen, too, at the mods' discretion, but you are otherwise free to rummage the house and tear it apart, wander the forest, get lost, find strange puzzles and riddles, fall down dark holes, find trails of breadcrumbs, old burnt buildings... but you'll come right back in a loop, essentially. This is an exploration prompt.)  You opened that cupboard, and maybe you shouldn't have. But now you're here, and you're not alone. A grumpy person with a torn ear and black, branch-like hair, stands before you, tapping his foot in impatience. His eyes unsettle you. They're red on black, no whiteness at all. His outfit is old, Victorian-seeming, but his voice is young. Too young. And something about this place, filled with dead trees, cracked cobblestone, and several tombstones... it's vaguely unsettling. The lighting here doesn't help. And you can't shake the feeling you're missing something vital you once had, before, now a huge gap, just gone. Powers? Those, too. Gone. Weapons? Also gone. "... Is this all of you, then?" He says, looking at the group assembled. "Well... greetings. I am the White Rabbit, and I will be your guide, Alice. Now, let me explain how this wo--" He's about to launch into a familiar spiel when a strange creature wearing a hood pops up out of the darkness around you, leaning on someone nearby. It might be you, it might be the person next to you, but he seems to have no concept of personal space. He twirls, letting out a purr. "Oh, let them ask the questions themselves this time, yer puttin' me to sleep! Talk to me instead, Alice... and Alice! And Alice! Mweeheehee! I'm way better company~!" ... Oh, boy. Looks like all of you had better figure this thing out amongst yourselves, and also deal with... er, these two... characters. (This prompt will include separate threads from both NPCs and allow the characters to question them both about their situation, as well as meet one another.) |

[His tone is mocking. At Hinata's other question, he simply nods in the direction of some other unconscious people who are totally there, yes.]
There's those guys, but it doesn't look like they're up yet.

[Buuut even with that in mind, he's just going to start towards the door.]
Good thing what they don't know won't hurt them.
TH-TH-TH-THREADJACK
[ ...Was that cat always there? ]
And you gotta eat, right~?
Re: TH-TH-TH-THREADJACK
If you think it's safe, why don't you try one? [ Hinata 'skeptical as heck' Hajime to the rescue...
Although he is no stranger to not eating. But, priorities. ]
no subject
--Yeah, actually. I'm with him. Why don't you try it?
no subject
[ He'll snicker as he watched the two. ]
no subject
[ He's onto you, cat. Don't think he doesn't get any of the underlying undertones to that sentence... ]
no subject
Thanks, but no thanks.
no subject
[ He snickers as his tail twitches now. ]
Just said it'd affect ya. A full belly's still an affect. Up to you to decide what's good or bad.
no subject
[ His voice drops cold and his body tenses up; it's true that being full is an effect of eating food, but... shit. He's just a little more easily riled up because his name was taken away from him. ]
no subject
[Calm down, man.]
Look, if you really wanted us to try it, you wouldn't be so suspicious about it. Who would eat something after being told to by a creepy guy like you?
no subject
[ He'll snicker, turning his gaze to Glasses. ]
no subject
That may be true, but that doesn't mean that I'd eat something suspicious like that. It might not kill us, but it might do something else instead. [ Hinata 'suspicious as fuck' Hajime is on the case. ]
no subject
There's no way we'd try out some weird food knowing that.
