A place where dreams seemingly become reality (that is if your dreams involve somehow ending up in a topsy turvy land in the company of the Mad Hatter Estates). Though no one knows how the lines between Earth and Wonderland became blurred we do know these weak links allow for portals. Still whether you came to this place through a small attic door or by a hole in the floor, each of the ‘Alices’ are always welcome. If one finds themselves stuck in Wonderland, the best thing you can do to pass the time is just enjoy the ride. From theme parks to being royally attired for a ball, there is never a dull moment.
Unfortunately, all is not 'happily ever afters' and rainbows as Wonderland is in the middle of a long waging civil war. Two siblings fight for a right to the crown. The White King prefers to ignore the new arrivals, his sole focus based on his kingdom. The Red King, on the other hand, tries to kidnap and imprison the ‘Alices’ in the hopes of unlocking the way back to the real world where he can release his dark magic.
Don't be disheartened as you are in the Hatter's good hands. Enjoy your stay, and most importantly don’t get caught.
Locations:
Mad Hatter Estates:
Welcome one, welcome all to the crazy Hatter’s Estate halls. Don’t be down-hearted, don’t you fear. You’ll soon find out, we’re all mad here. This is the place where all the ‘Alices’ live, owned by the renowned Mad Hatter. Both the Hare and the Door-mouse (people) are available to the ‘Alices’ disposal and are the estate’s personal help.
Within the mansion itself there is a bedroom hall for the ladies (East Wing) which is separate from the West Wing where the boy’s dormitory is found. On the first floor one will find the diner area, the general layout similar to that of a tea parlor. Large windows allow for easy access to the beautiful scenery. If we move down to the ground floor there is an indoor pool area. Other accessories of the home include private balconies, a roof garden, ballroom, a grand library, and studio rooms.
Throughout the year the Hatter will throw balls as well as other various events relating to ‘Earth’ holidays including (but not limited to) Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas parties. Once a thought comes into his head he will send out invitations and post the idea in the grand hall.
The Hatter also owns the town in which the estate resides. In the town there are many shops including a hat and clothing shop ran by the Hatter (a good place for one to find work), Bakery shops, Trinket shops, among many more. If you need a job and don't know where to go he is your man.
Katrina’s Garden:
Katrina’s garden is a place of magic and beauty. The trees grow candied leaves, and bare the sweetest fruits. In the middle of the garden is a waterfall that flows out a liquid with no description; it simply tastes like whatever you want it to, from sodas to milkshakes there is no limitation The roses grow multi colored and each color is a different flavor. Snazzle bushes grow sour candies of every variety. If you have a sweet tooth of any kind, Katrina’s garden is the place to fill it.
An ‘Alice’ must be wary of what they place in their mouth, as not all of the plants are edible. Many of the flowers in the garden are alive in more ways than one. They can be rather full of gossip so one must heed before taking anything to heart. Still, they are extraordinarily loyal and if you befriend them they will protect you from scouts of the Red King(they have no fear in telling a lie or two).
Katrina herself used to live in a small garden home and was often in the company of the Cheshire cat. She loved having visitors so if you were feeling down-hearted, wanted to be surrounded by nature, or just wanted to have tea then her home was always open. Unfortunately, she has been missing for some time without a word or a trace. Many worry she is locked away at the Red Palace or that something worse has befallen the young maiden but others have hope and continue to help tend the gardens she loved so dearly in hopes that when Katrina does return, that the gardens will be the same as when she disappeared.
Cheshire’s Woods (Wanderer’s Doom) :
Cheshire lives in the Wanderer’s Doom, a place of secrecy and darkness. No one daring to travel in has ever found their way out, at least not on their own. The trees are cruel and they like to get wanderers lost and play tricks on all who enter. One must be wary of all illusions as things are not always as they seem. Only the Cheshire cat, with his ability to disappear, has ever been able to figure out the mystery of these woods. His home lies in the center and the only way to ever get to it is if led by the Cheshire himself. Next to a waterfall, his home consists of an upper house, where Chess actually lives and a lower section which is ironically a guest home.
The only other creature in the woods that are most dangerous of all is the twelve foot tall 'man-eating' gummy bears that call this region their home. Just kidding, they are deliciously harmless….just ask Chess. (;
White Castle:
This is the location of the White King. He runs all of Wonderland and though his heart is good there is much secrecy here too. There is little known about this area as it is suggested the ‘Alices’ do not get involved with the royalty’s affairs. Wonderland has been involved in a long civil war, although the spats have not been as dangerous as some have assumed. The two siblings are a mystery. However, we do know that the White King fights against his brother for the better good. If you ever have any problems above the Hatter’s grasp this would be the next safe option…but should only be a last resort.
Red Castle:
This is the home of the Red King (a devilishly handsome man who seems to be even more so personality wise). Try not to fall under a spell of love if you find yourself face to face with him. He captures ‘Alices’ and locks them away in hopes of discovering how they enter and leave Wonderland. He likes to make the girls fall for him by adding them into his “Collection of Hearts”. Always stay on your toes. On off chance he doesn’t lock you away he will undoubtedly use you for ransom. However, if you fall under his graces you will find yourself in one of the most beautiful and eloquent places in Wonderland. There is no palace filled with more luxuries than that of hearts.
Heart Castle
Once a castle of love, soon turned into a castle of madness. The Queen of Hearts takes up residence in the ruins. Smog and darkness seem to curl itself around the walls, and the lands are completely desolate. The Queen forced her followers to carve out hearts in the stone, yet it does nothing to ease it's foreboding nature. For any that remain and call this place home, it is called Underland where the darkest of nightmares roam. This is a place of death that many don’t brave.
Once Upon A Rabbit Hole:
Wonderland can be a dream or a nightmare depending on the perspectives and simple tricks of the mind. Everyone fantasizes of escaping to a mystical realm where they can escape the day to day melancholy of normal life. But what if they can't wake up? When reality tears its way through the mind enchantments can falter as doubts set hopes aflame. Does time stop in the 'real' world simply from slipping into this one? For surely this can only be a dream! You'll wake up tucked softly in your bed with the warm feeling of adventure fresh in your heart. Perhaps.
Or maybe your parents are desperately looking for their beloved child, calling a cell phone 20, 40 times. Your little sister cries not understanding why you would leave them without a word. Hours turn into days as you disappeared without a trace. Maybe you are being threatened by the Red King, sentenced to death by guillotine.....or maybe just maybe, you don't wake up after this.
Try not to worry too much young Alice. We'd hate for you to go mad.~
Well there it is folks. If I get enough interest, I will make this into an OOC but right now I am just getting a feel out if this will even be of interest.
