Hee.
Okay, this started out as Wren happening on a very injured Tene in the Den of Thieves.
But you know how things go... one minute it's a simple rescue. The next, they've fallen down YET another bloody hole, but this time...
It's Cabal, in Wonderland.
Were asking Cabal members, first of all, to volunteer for "parts" in this rp, which should --loosely-- follow Lewis Carroll's "Alice In Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass"
And by "loosely", I mean hey-- let's be subtle and creative about it. We are NOT re-enacting the books, exactly. Characters from the book should be IMPLIED rather than named, or even referenced heavily.
So, you use your char, as your char -- only , the Wonderland version.
Think of it as putting your very own spin on one of Carroll's characters, while loosely following the outline of the plot in that book, giving it the Cabal treatment, of course.
NOTE: ALL of this is happening in Tene's head, as she lies dying in the Den. The --actual-- time that passes might only be half an hour, but in that timeless inner world, I expect things might prove quite different.
I hope this doesn't go on TOO long, but a few days of mad fun after Trick's episode seems like a good idea, and here's a perfect opportunity to take it. It'd even be ok if we kept this as a side-rp, and played bits of it as and when we found the time and inclination to team up.
Feel free to explore/expose facets of your char in this context. They can dive right into the "Wonderland" created by the mad, illusory mind of Wren as it merges with Tene's own fragmented consciousness in attempt to lead her back from Death's door.
OR maybe your char is just hanging around the Den, in reality, maybe trying to help Tene's body heal, and yet makes a cameo in the strange inner-goings on anyhow (you get to post in TWO realities, then, hee!)
Either way, have a quick refresh of Carroll's story, so we dun lose the plot entirely:

And all the chapters of both "Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass" (they are short, and it's fun to read 'em again, hee):
www.alice-in-wonderland.net/alice3.html
--- of course, we do not have to rp --every single thing-- in the books, huge chunks can be left out, so long as there's the main ones, and it follows roughly the same order.
THE CONFIRMED CAST SO FAR
Wren : the White Rabbit.
Tene/Joliette: Alice.
Anshera: the Queen of Hearts
Deilakrion: The Mouse (and co)
Leoxander: The Cheshire Cat
Caedan: The Mad Hatter
Isen: The Caterpillar
Arysel: The Duchess
Sophie: The Baby
We're hoping you guys join in, and help it gallop along on a mad ramble that's kinda fun and goofy as heck, but with undertones of other rp we want to expose.
Please, no ubar-ebills from Hollow here (unless you count the Queen!) We need a break from the nasties, and this is meant to be light-hearted, with a hint of serious behind it to stop it being utter fluff.
Those roles not taken by Cabal and close associates will be opened to other roleplayers from Hollow, or feel free to suggest one, if you think they are perfect for the role.
