Eargon: You not good for her!

Me: You guys stop that we need to get out of here!.

* Lets go of Eargon then tears rolls down her cheek*

Eargon: Ahh shhh don't cry * whips her tears off*

Me: Leave me alone!
 
Me: You know, I really wish you guys would stay focused on the task at hand. Now let's go!
Peter: Hold on there, Alice. *grabs my arm again* We have to stick together. Come on, everyone.
Me: *sigh* Would you please let go of me?
Peter: No, I won't because you have a habit of running off and getting yourself into some sort of trouble.
Me: You ARE horrible, Peter Pevensie!
Peter: *laughs* How did I know that you were going to say that?
Me: You know me to well. *sigh*
 
Aslan is forced to appear AGAIN. Sapphira intuitively recognizes Him as immeasurably her superior in every way, and bows her blue head to Him.

"I would have preferred to leave all this to the people and dragon," rumbles the God-Lion. "But some personality glitches need to be addressed. Neither Peter, nor Edmund, nor Eragon, should be behaving in such a juvenile way as I've seen here. I know that Mr. Dodgson wrote 'Alice in Wonderland' as intentional silliness, but I expect heroes to be able to keep their heads above it. Peter, Edmund, Eragon: you don't even realize what is influencing you, but if you put your conscious will into it you can resist the temptation to act childish. Peter already began straightening out, but he must continue disciplining himself." Then Aslan vanishes once more.
 
We're going, or trying to go, on a quest to keep the Queen from shouting "Off with their head!". It's becoming quite frustrating because the guys can't seem to keep focused! *elbows Peter* Do you want help us, toj?
 
Inkling gives TOJ part of the explanation:

"Long ago, a British mathematics professor decided to have some fun for a change, by writing a witty fantasy in two volumes: 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' and 'Alice Through the Looking-Glass.' You have entered a sub-reality (what a Hindu might call 'maya,' an illusion) which is based on that writer's work. Among other odd characters in this world, there are a King and Queen and their subjects whose society is derived from playing cards--cardplaying having been a popular pastime in the days of Charles Dodgson, the author."

"Dodgson?" Peter and Hannah echo at the same time.

"His pen-name, which is how you would know him, was Lewis Carroll," Inkling tells them.
 
Once the Great Lion leaves, Lady Inkling furrows her brow. "Jake is keeping the guards occupied. Now's the opportunity to surreptitiously make our way into the kitchen and see what awaits."

Leading the way, she pauses just inside the doorway as an idea forms. With a swift, graceful movement, she knocks over a pot of uncooked lentil beans. They land in the ashes.

"There...the cook will have to sort them out or risk the queen's displeasure, since lentils are her favorite (no accounting for taste). That will buy us time. Go further up! Go further in!"
 
o i see, i heard of her...
doesn't she make tarts as well?

i think i met her once...nearly got my head cut off for eating a tart.
but then again i was two.
 
Me: she nearly cut your head off?
Peter: Yeah, well, she nearly cut yours off too, remember?
Me: Oh yeah. *shivers* Let's follow Lady Inkling.
 
Me: Oh, hm I wonder.

Eargon: I'm sorry I act like that I just don't know why you want him * rolls eyes*

Me: Because he doesn't act like you and he kind of like me.
 
Peter calls back, "We haven't abandoned you; we're just curious to see what reaction Jake's loud singing brought on."

Somewhat less than a kilometer away, five guards have sallied out upon orders from the Queen of Hearts to take off Jake's you-know-what. Jake, with both revolvers at the ready, says, "Now, boys, I don't like to kill nobody who ain't outright evil, and you boys ain't really evil, you're just doin' what you have to. But I don't take to bein' made shorter, neither."

When they don't stop their menacing advance, Jake shoots each guard's weapon out of his grasp. When they try to close in and hogpile him, Jake shoots the nearest two in the foot, doing as little damage as possible, but stopping their attack. Jake backs cautiously off about another twenty paces...then starts to sing "Singin' My Cattle Call."
 
Another five guards are sent against Jake, who suddenly realizes that this means three more intact enemies than the number of bullets he has left before having to reload.

Trinity hates to see any good guy heavily outnumbered; so she leaves the questing party, sprints across the intervening space, and knocks out four of the fresh guards. The others--including the two lamed ones--beat an undignified retreat.

"Much obliged to you, ma'am," says Jake, hurrying to reload his empty chambers. Then, sighing: "I s'pose you're spoken for, too?"

"Afraid so," says Trinity, "though my lover is kind of missing. Still, if you don't mind, I'll need to stay with you now, because if I go back to the others, it may alert the Queen that there ARE others doing something."
 
Ooc: Sorry..it's getting a bit too confusing for me right now

Nessa still hears the scream the whole time.

Rabbit: What is going on?
Me: I don't know. I hear a scream
Hatter: What scream?
Me: A female
Hatter: Where does it come from? Which direction?
Me: From the deep forrest
Hatter *to rabbit* : Then it's true
Me: What?

Eric joins the conversation.

Hatter: The Queen of clubs disappeared years ago. Nobody ever know what happened to her but since she disappeared a scream is heard by only a few people.
Me: I knew it!
Eric: They are here so maybe we could go on a research?
Rabbit: Okay. I'm a bit bored anyway
Hatter: I'll join you!

The Hatter, Nessa, Eric and the Rabbit leave the others and go into the forrest
 
* Hannah followes them in the woods*

Me: Mum were are you going!

* came next to them*

Me: I don't like this Eric what are you guys doing any way?

* Looks around*

Me: Oh, no I for got about Edmund!
 
Nessa grabs Eric's arm.
Me: We better wait till the others are here Eric
Eric: You are right. It's too dangerous and we have been in trouble before
Me: Impulsive adventures
Eric: Yes....that's true
Hatter: We'll wait till the others arrive
