★ Prompts

1) Arrival
[Before you knew it, the world you were in had gone dark. Why or even how wasn't exactly clear, but the moment you wake up, you find that you are not where you were before. Instead there appears to be a small village, but it's dark and the people appear to not be leaving there houses anytime soon. Why weren't they? Perhaps looking around might wield results.]

2) Monster Attack
[Just outside the village creatures appear to be wondering around. If you come too close they will attack. Sharp claws swinging towards whoever crosses there path. Avoid or counter?]

3) What the hell?!
[In the woods, if one were to wonder further enough they would come across a circle and a bunch of cloak people, kneeling down and bowing down toward the center. Whatever was going on it was certainly odd.]

4) Wildcard

Comments

[asmadasahatter]

[Hatter is only vaguely paying attention to his surrounding. He is actually talking to himself. When Harry replies his lips twitch and he turns to look at the other man, taking a quick measure of the stranger.]

Does this really look like people worshiping nature to you?

[His voice sounds incredulous. They were wearing black and chanting, not skipping through the dead woods naked and trying to breath life back into the woods. Not that Hatter knows anything about how you would do that.

He ignores the LARP comment because Hatter doesn't know what that acronym means.]

[harrythelizard]

[At his question, Harry nods, completely serious for the moment.]

The stones are runed and set up in a circle. Circles are a binding of intent. The runes are instructions, but they don't look like any I've ever seen before.

[And if Bob were here, I could just ask them what they meant. Crap.]

I might be able to figure it out, but they don't look too friendly, and I don't really want to find out what kind of power they might be packing.

[asmadasahatter]

[Hatter just stares at him through this explanation. He sounds like he knows a lot and it sounds like a lot of stuff that he doesn’t want to get involved with.]

They’re mad as a box of frogs. [He has a feeling this stranger is similarly mad.]

So we walk away then and form plan B.

[He misses Wonderland, at least there he knew the dangers.]

[harrythelizard]

[Harry nods again at Hatter's description.]

A potentially powerful box of frogs. [He raises an index finger wisely.] Never underestimate the destructive power of an angry mob. It's an Old English proverb.

[He looks over to the shorter man, finally, breaking his serious expression with a slight smirk.] Harry Dresden.

[asmadasahatter]

Is it now?

[Hatter asks in a skeptical voice. He turns more fully towards Harry, his gaze inspecting the man more carefully. He can appreciate a mad in a very large coat.]

Hatter.

[He introduces himself with a minimal flourish.]

And that's why we search for a plan B or perhaps just speak to the one pulling the strings. [It's easier to talk to peoples bosses tho far more dangerous]

[harrythelizard]

Never question a wizard.

[It's spoken matter-of-factly and with a curt nod.

And then he blinks, looking back to the other man.]

Hatter? You said your name was Hatter? Hatter comma the?

[asmadasahatter]

Just Hatter.

[His eyes narrow at the man.]

You said you were a wizard? Of what sort?

[Clearly one of the queens men. She wouldn't allow power to run around without her know how. Unless he realize is in another world. If so, that sucks.]

[harrythelizard]

Just Hatter, then. Should I call you Just, or Hatter? Or maybe just "Jay"?

[His brows furrow slightly at the question.]

The...practicing sort? Look me up. I'm in the book.

[asmadasahatter]

[Hatter's eyebrow rose to impossible heights on his forehead.]

Nice knowing that you like to joke.

[His tone is terse.]

What book?

[harrythelizard]

[Understatement of the century, Hatter.]

But you didn't answer the question.

[And a pause.]

...the phone book?

[asmadasahatter]

I didn't.

[Hatter's expression dawns with understanding.]

Ah, pointless. Do you see any phones around here?

[Even in wonderland phones were rare, if never used. To easy to mess with and under the queens lines of communication.]

[harrythelizard]

Just Hatter, it is, then.

[The Man in the Hat had a point, and Harry wasn't about to contest it. He rolls his shoulder in a slight shrug.]

Not yet I haven't. Good point.

[asmadasahatter]

[Hatter is selfishly happy that he made his point. A smirk tugs at his lips and he glances towards the figures clad in black.]

If we don't have a plan then perhaps we should look for answers first?

[He talks rather quickly and his English accent makes him a little hard to follow.]

[harrythelizard]

[Harry nods sagely once again.]

That's usually where plans come from, yeah.

[He pauses.]

But I think we should start with where we came from. Like you, for instance, Just Hatter. Where did you come from?

[asmadasahatter]

[Hatter turns towards Harry and then points out as if to suggest something similar to the dying woods around them.]

Wonderland.

[He says it like it isn't strange at all.]

[harrythelizard]

Wonderland? [Just Hatter. Wonderland.] So....you're a carnie, lost from your Alice in Wonderland themepark?

[asmadasahatter]

Does it look like I'm from a themepark to you?

[His tone is short and blunt.]

The world Wonderland. Not that I expect you to do it outside your world of children's stories.

[harrythelizard]

You look like you could be. [He smiles.] Clearly you haven't met many carnies.

[But you could be, okay? You could be.]

...wait. You mean the Wonderland? Mome raths giring and gimbling in the wabe?
