Dayo Layeni

---

Dayo considered this new information. As expected, it was delightfully (read: infuriatingly) cryptic and provided little to no definite information. Now not only was his sense of reality skewed, but he really had no idea what was going on. And as for the whole 'dirty dirt' thing- Dayo didn't even want to question that.

He clutched his umbrella protectively as he looked around this new area he was shown. He wondered what would happen if he went to sleep in a dream, but decided it was irrelevant. He wasn't even positive if it was a dream anymore. Note to self, he thought to himself, question nothing. Find out on your own.

The Hatter seemed nice enough. Sure, he was confusing, and sometimes very frustrating, to talk to. But better than nothing, right? And if there was a Hatter, that meant rabbit-men and cat-men and Tweedle Whatsits. He wondered if there was a monarchy too, and felt a vague fear of being beheaded, but couldn't dwell on for the time being. "I guess we might as well go inside," Dayo decided finally. Maybe he'd find a book or something.

He wanted time to examine the umbrella as well, but he wanted to do that in private. The chocolate dirt thing had been dumb, but the umbrella idea had been spot-on, and he wasn't sure why.

Dayo was still dazed, and more than a little bit giddy from falling so far, but the Hatter's words snapped him out of his state of confusion long enough for him to have an existential crisis. His brain appeared to have shorted out from the shock of not tumbling to a messy, messy, splattery demise. "Where...? How? Alive? Hatter. Shampoo. Dirt. 'Course." He snorted to himself.

He blinked.

He blinked again.

"Oh, wait."

Then he began making connections.

"You're called the Hatter? Why would you shampoo dirt? That's absurd. Illogical. Interesting, but still dumb."

He continued, on a roll. "How did I get here? How do I leave? Where is here? Wait, wait don't tell me, this is all a dream. Any second now my brother is going to come and laugh at me, right? But how come my umbrella stopped me?"

He spat out the last traces of dirt, and his cheeks darkened slightly. That'd been really dumb. "That was thoroughly disgusting. A proper dream would have chocolate dirt."

He stopped. What if it wasn't a dream?

Nope, his brain refused to accept it. This was not reality. This was simply his mind making little fantasies after he'd read one too many chapters of Through the Looking Glass.

Well, if it was a dream, he couldn't do any harm, right?

"The Hatter," he pondered aloud. "You're taller than I expected. And you have nicer hair."

As he stumbled through the doorway that had been disguised as a mirror, Dayo looked in awe at the clouds that surrounded him. He was flying, floating in the clouds! Maybe he was a wizard after all! He was still holding his deceased mother's umbrella in one hand and his teddy bear Orion in the other. Despite being fourteen years old, he loved that bear to pieces.

Hoping to fulfill a childhood fantasy, Dayo reached out towards a cloud, in hopes of being able to taste it. He knew it was a scientific impossibility, but-

...a piece broke off.
It tasted like bubble gum.

Why did it taste like bubble gum?! It was supposed to be WATER! Floaty, puffy, cotton-candy-looking WATER!

"This is a scientific impossibility," Dayo said calmly to nobody in particular, and paused to rethink his entire existence. Was science all a lie? Was he being lied to his whole life? Nah, this must be a dream, right? As he pondered the nature of truth, he noticed that the clouds seemed to be getting closer. This was odd: had they been moving towards him this whole time?
Hey, wait a second, he wasn't flying...
He was falling.

So he did what any rational person would do given this revelation: he screamed like a madman and flapped his arms like a wounded goose.
"I don't wanna die," he moaned, half of him wondering if his sister would miss him when he was supposed to be helping her make dinner, while the other half wondered if the dirt would taste like chocolate.

Then he got a stupid idea. It was so dumb, so daft, so ridiculous, but the ground was becoming more and more visible and Dayo wasn't eager to get up close and personal. The altitude must have been making him giddy. He opened his mother's umbrella, shut his eyes, and hoped it'd work like it did in cartoons. Maybe someone would get a laugh out of his gory death when he failed and died, or at least a free umbrella.

When he floated, he knew that the world had lost its marbles.

Sure enough, the umbrella behaved like a parachute, and soon he was falling at a nice, leisurely speed. Confused, dazed, and feeling totally disoriented, Dayo floated down to the ground, pleased...

...then let go of the umbrella too early and landed on his bottom outside the Hatter estates.

This had been a weird day, Dayo summarized mentally.

Also, the dirt did not taste like chocolate.

@DaxamXD
There's no limit on how many characters you can make so you can have both a female and a male if you want
Or not. After all, who am I to tell you how to live your life? XD

Either way if I feel like it's unbalanced I'll create more chars :p
