(there are a bunch of short starters in this chapter, depending on which alice in wonderland character you'd like to base yours off of! if you don't want to pick a specific character, or don't like that starter, go with the first one!)

»»————-　➴　————-««

intro

everyone in wonderland knew about kaede akamatsu. the 'rude, unmannerly' girl wanted for several crimes against the crown, the worst of which being treason. she had a hefty reward on her head, and anyone who was able to turn her in to the royal military would be paid generously for their good deed, and the girl would be executed. there were wanted posters all around of her face, so anybody who knew her would know at first sight who she was. nobody seemed to care that her 'treasonous' crime was only 'stealing royalty's tarts', which she was even framed for.

some inhabitants of wonderland were too scared of the stories they heard about her, and others were bent on finding the girl and turning her in to the guards. but to do that, people said you'd need to search for her. but, unfortunately for her, she'd end up running into people more often than they'd end up running into her.

scenario one

(y/c) certainly wasn't expecting the girl that they'd heard about so much to find them on her own. the reward made it seem like she'd be hard to find, but that would prove to be wrong.

minding their own business, in their own corner of wonderland, (y/c) was having what seemed to be an unusually normal day, when they started to hear yelling from off in the woods. what was going on?

out of nowhere, a tall blonde girl burst into the clearing, out of breath. it didn't take long for (y/c) to recognize her— she was that girl from the wanted posters! kaede akamatsu! noticing a particularly large and wide tree, the girl hid herself from whatever group had been yelling, pressing herself against the trunk while she caught her breath. when she was finally able to take in her surroundings, she froze, wide-eyed, staring at (y/c). desperate, she glanced backwards, and then when she turned back to them, she put a finger to her lips, silently pleading with them not to rat her out.

scenario two: party

(y/c) knew about kaede akamatsu— and even though they could certainly use the money if they so happened to see her, they'd never dream of turning the girl in. they'd been in trouble with the crown before, and they knew what it was like to be given so harsh a sentence for something so trivial. handing kaede in would basically be sentencing her to death.

so the girl was lucky, (y/c) thought to themselves, as they saw her approach hesitantly and curiously from the path leading up to where they were. she probably had good reason to check it out— after all, there was clearly a tea party going on! (y/c) and two of their friends had been having a meeting on a... secretive matter, that would seriously get them in trouble if knowledge of the meeting spread. so did they really want to risk this outsider knowing what was going on? if she knew they were conspiring against the crown, then what if she got captured and tried to trade her life for theirs? that was a risk they weren't ready to take.

" um ... hello ? can i ask what's going on here ? " the blonde asked hesitantly as she stepped up to the table, glancing around.

scenario three: directions

(y/c) never expected kaede akamatsu to happen across them— and in such an interesting way, too!

the part of the forest that (y/c) spent most of their time in was dark, gloomy, and rather scary to anybody who didn't know it well. signs pointed the wrong way, and the paths winded and looped around, leading to dead ends. it was easy to navigate if you knew the way— but borderline impossible if you didn't.

so when (y/c) happened to glance over when the blonde girl entered the area, they could see her stop at a fork in the path, contemplating where to go. they recognized her easily, from the wanted posters. (y/c) watched eagerly, since kaede didn't seem to be able to see them. from the stories they'd heard, she'd always sounded so determined and stubborn— what was she going to do now?

" oh , come on , now the signs are gone ? " she sighed, crossing her arms and looking between the two paths.

scenario four: late

(y/c) worked for the king and queen of hearts— as a messenger, secretary— basically any odd job that the royalty decided to make them do. but such an important and honorable job was exhausting— to do their work properly, (y/c) was always running from place to place, job to job. and although they were good at it, they always seemed to be running late, no matter what.

and now they were even more anxious, knowing that they were the reason that girl, the traitor to the crown... they were the reason she was in wonderland in the first place. they'd attracted her attention by rambling to themselves, and she'd followed (y/c) here.

funny enough, just as (y/c) was thinking about kaede, something blue caught their eye right up ahead. it was her dress— it was her! kaede seemed to have noticed (y/c) as well, and was quickly trying to walk past them, hoping they wouldn't notice. realizing this might be their only chance, (y/c) started calling out for help, for somebody to come and help them with the traitor. panicking, kaede closed her wrist around theirs, pressing a hand over their mouth to keep them from yelling again. " what are you doing ?! you're going to get me killed ! " the blonde whisper-yelled.

what do you do?

scenario five: royalty

(y/c) had been the reigning (king/queen) of hearts for years now, even with how young they were. they thought of themselves as the perfect ruler— strict and lawful. well, that is, if lawful meant killing anyone and everyone that expressed disagreement towards them. but people feared them, and that did the trick most of the time.

but this girl... kaede akamatsu! she had no regard for the law, for manners, or for their own rules! she'd done awful things (even if said crimes would be trivial mistakes in kaede's world) and, worst of all, committed treason against the crown— against them! they couldn't wait until she finally got her hands on her, and she couldn't wait to see the look on the brat's face before she was executed...!

as they milled about the castle lawn, their thoughts were interrupted as they saw a blonde girl wandering around, looking confused. she wore a short purple dress, and long white socks. most people in wonderland didn't recognize others well, and could only do so easily when they looked exactly the same as the first time they'd met. so (y/c) had no clue that this girl was the traitor they were looking for. but she did look strikingly familiar, and they just couldn't figure out where they knew her from...

the blonde girl caught (y/c)'s eye, and she tensed up. " i - i'm sorry , your majesty — i think i'm lost , " she offered, visibly nervous.
