He sat there a cup in hand. The sun was warm that day at the heavily laid table. What was he to do? It was tea time and there were none to have tea with. A Hare that had been visiting ran off after a white rabbit, and a door mouse ran away with a grinning cat. There were so many strange and odd creatures around here and he had grown fond of them all. There was tea warm and waiting with mustard and jam. The silly spoons rolling around waiting for this person and that to come and join in their dance. He had many a conversation with the tea pot in front of him, and the sugar bowl was quite the singer. Standing this Hatter moved down a chair to leave a space open for the dog that MIGHT join. He really didn't know. Something was coming but what? Was it a person or a storm? Was it going to be fun or just something bothersome? He would find out soon enough he guessed. Finishing his tea he moved again down to a clean cup to have a slice of cake. This is where he could be found.


{YES this is INSPIRED by the characters of Lewis Carrol, No this is not THE Mad Hatter. So no I am not looking for THE Alice. This is a role play for all the hatters and Alices out there to come and enjoy tea time and other antics. }

((I don't really know if my character fits with the story, but if she doesn't let me know! ^.^))

A young woman walked through an enchanted forest with mysterious creatures and beautiful looking plants. The bottom of her solid white dress was slightly torn. She shivered slightly since her dress did not have long sleeves. She was shoeless, but she preferred not to wear shoes. Her long blonde hair fell down her back as her hands were folded in front of her.

She has been in this place her whole life, she likes it very much. There's always something new to see everyday. She wouldn't want to change a thing about it.

Just then she froze, smelling something yummy in the air, something that smelt like cake and other sweets with a hint of tea. She followed the scent, walking quietly towards it. Just then she looked from behind a tree at a long table, full of fine silver wear and sweets, tea cups, food. She was about to step out from hiding behind the tree; just when she saw a person sitting at the table, what looked like a man. He seemed to be waiting for something or someone. She quickly hoped back behind the tree, continuing to watch the person.

cheshire sat in the tree that the girl hid behind her presence completely unnoticable only the hatter knew she was there. she looked down at the girl with a devilish smile " weeel hello" she said in a somewhat teasing voice. she could tell that her voice startled the girl so she jumped down and hskiped over to the hatters chair " looks like we have a guest hatter"

Hatter looked up and grinned a wide spread grin though his eyes told another story. Ches always came around. His Constant friend. His Alice had gone again. To where he did not know but he really wished she would return. He called back. "Ches, bring her through she probably would love some tea. I know I would like you to come and sit with me that tea pot is rather dull today"

Another female was in the area, just re-appeared. This Alice too wore a tattered outfit, with the remains of a pennafore covering her front. Underneath she wore a high victorian-style collared shirt and almost skin tight breeches. Her long blonde hair hung loose around a heart-shaped face, tied in back with a large bright blue ribbon.

Around the waist was a matching ribbon, slightly larger, and spectacles hung just at the bridge of her nose. The spectacles were new, an addition, one that had happened not long after her departure.

"Excuse me," She murmured, stopping just at the clearing. Her eyes were unfocused, but her stance was strong. She knew exactly where she was. "But I'm looking for a Hatter. You see, it's my un-birthday."

Hatter looked up with a brow arched and a interested smirk. He stood sweeping the large top hat off his head in a low bow. He looked simple in his attire. A long tail coat the color brushed bronze. His undershirt was a deep rich brown frilled shirt the sleeves spilling out around his hands. His trousers were a simple tan tucked in to thigh high laced supple leather brown boots that were cinched from heel to thigh with a gold cord. He looked as if he should be going to a party rather than sitting in the middle of a forest surrounded by steaming teapots. "I M'Lady am A Hatter. A very merry un-birthday to you."

The young lady slightly shook her head at first but then took a step again from behind the tree. She folded her hands again in front of her and walked towards the table.

She watches as the Hatter talked to another female as Nikko stopped behind a chair, looking down at it.

suddenly the chair that nikko was looking at was pulled out and right next to it appeared cheshire " have a seat wont you" she then disappeared and reappeared next to another chair pulling it out as well " you two madam" she said gesturing the other girl "today we shall celebrate , right hatter"

Hatter grinned his head tilted and nodded to Ches. "Of course we do kind cat. There is fresh cake and tea." He flopped over the arm of a chair and tipped his hat down low looking at both girls from under the brim.

Nikko smiled widely and sat down in the pulled out chair in front of her. She looked out at the tea and cake placed neatly on the table. She didn't know where to start.

"But are you my Hatter?" She murmured softly, almost to herself. The woman curtsied first to the Hatter, then to the Cat, and finally to the other Alice, then placed herself in a chair.

He smiled at the mumbling girl and tipped his hat to her as they both took a seat. "Help yourselves girls"

He started to pour himself a cup of tea. Reaching forward taking one of the small tea cakes passing them down the row. "Ches have you seen the door mouse?"

Nikko bowed her head slightly to the girl that had curtsied with a slight smile. She reached over and grabbed a tea cup full with tea. She wrapped both her hands tightly around the cup and took a sip. It tasted delicious and warm.

Nikko continued sipping her tea quietly while examining the others around her.

cheshire had disapeared after pulling out the chair and reapeared next to the hatter. " i haven't ,but he must be around here some where. he ever misses a great party , especially when there is such great cake" cheshire sat at the top of the hatters tall chair. the way she sat seemed to defy gravity as she layed perfectly still across the thin top.

He reached back scratching behind her ears nodding and smiles at the girls. "We'll well girls do dig in. We have an unbirthday to celebrate after all" He lifted his cup of tea to each lady in turn before sipping. Was one of them His Alice?

Nikko smiled at the Hatter then lifted her tea cup up as well, before taking another sip. She sure did love this delicious drink.

She swung her legs back and forth while sitting on the chair, exciting for what was going to come next.

Oh that was right. Tea. Alice had always hated tea. She curled her nose up at the cup in front of her, and glanced curiously around until she fount the container she had been looking for. With a sly grin the girl picked up the sugar and plopped as many cubes as possible into her cub. Each one made a soft sound as droplets of tea splashed onto the tablecloth.

"There we go," She stated, picking up her own tea cup and taking a small sip. She cringed. Still tasted like tea, but at least it was drinkable now- and the smell was nice. She looked at the other Alice.

"So other Alice, from what world do you hale? How did you get to this one without a Hatter and still keep so nice?" She queried.

cheshire let out a purr as the hatter scratched behind her ear " now .. now . dear alice .. lets save the questioning till after the party , for now how bout we all just enjoy each others company" she suddenly disappeared and reappeared beside the alice " this is after all your unbirthday party"{

Hatter laughed but looked at The Alice. "You have lost your Hatter? I have lost my Alice. She was a spirited thing much like you....didn't like tea either. I normally melted chocolate icing in to milk for her..." He looked suddenly so sad and lost, removing his hat.

Shaking out his long hair that had been piled on top of his head he turned and looked at Ches. "let us get some music Ches. I think today calls for it"

cheshire tilted her head to the side " of course hatter" she disappeared and suddenly the sound of music filled the air , she then reappeared next to hatter with a cookie in hand "is this to your liking"
