Yearning for Wonderland | Alice X Hatter (2010 Film)

A Way to Where

The colors in underland are as bright as ever. All the colors.. but Tarrants. He sits at the tea table with his friends, hare, Cheshire and mallymkun. All laughing, throwing tea cups and having a good time. Though Tarrant is feeling down, ever since he got his family back- he thought he would be happier.

But it turns out he feels just the same. Still missing someone. Alice... He misses her muchness. And her smile, and her bravery, and-

*Crash!*

He stops zoning out and perks his head up at the noise- HIS HOUSE! The bandersnatch (which has been running loose since Alice's previous departure) is clawing at his porch, his banister has fallen over and the roofs caved in!

Tarrant bolts up, and runs over to his home, his friends surprised. Mallymkun running after him on her tiny little feet. "BANDERSNATCH!! GET AWAY FROM THERE!" Tarrant yells at the big cat like creature, who peeks it's head up and looks over at the running Tarrant

The bandersnatch grunts, stubbornly, it starts clawing the porch again. "No! No! Don't do that!" Tarrant waves his top hat at it, finally reaching the platform the bandersnatch is on, he stops- realizing what it's done. There's a gaping hole in the floor boards... And something glowing...

A portal? There's been a Portal under his floorboards this whole time!? Cheshire cat appears above hatters shoulder, smiling as always. "As Alice would say, Curiouser and curiouser!" Cheshire spins as he says this, keeping his eyes on the portal in the ground.

Hare finally gets over to the others as well, hoping up to the porch. His whiskers twitch confused at the portal. "Where do you think that leads?" Mally says curiously. "A portal, a portal could lead anywhere! Perhaps another underland? what if it just leads us straight back here? Or no- what If it goes to the bloody read queens castle?" Hatter starts rambling on, and hate pours some tea info the portal.

The tea droplets disappears without a trace. When all of a sudden hare falls in! The tweedle brothers have crashed into him, they must have been coming back from messing around in the woods.

"Oh dear! Hare!- !?-" mally falls into the portal, loosing her balance. And hatter falls in trying to get a better look in worry. The tweedle boys stand near the edge, in shock of what they accidentally just did. And one points at the portal, "did- did they just fall into that?" Cheshire, "That I think so-" Cheshire blinks in surprise at what happened so suddenly, and looks over at the bandersnatch that is now sleeping.

Down they go, down this Mysterious portal. The green wall type atmosphere around them twisting and turning as they fall. And hare laughs, "This is a lot like that rabbit hole rabbit has!" "That never ending tunnel?" Mally responses. "Indeed! Like that never ending-" hare gets smacked in the face with what seems to have been a candelabra.

They start laughing, quite enjoying this Mysterious fall. It's a lot like the rabbit hole, things floating around them. Though they seem to be falling sideways? No, wait, upwards- wait- now downwards? The gravity and colors keep shifting, as they laugh and mess around with the objects around them.

Hare finds a toothpick, and starts mimicking the way mally uses her sword. Mocking her, she throws a tomato at him, and they start laughing harder. Until- *thunk* they fall.
Hatter falls right on top a long trestle table. Mally falling into a goblet, and hare onto a hung banister, ripping it off the wall.

They've landed in a bland and dark colored room... Raining out the window, everything seems so gloomy here. Most all the colors are grey, red or black. And there's just something eerie about this place. Kind of like the queen of hearts castle... But darker.

"Where have we landed? It's so dark in here! Where are the lights?" Hatter looks around curiously, wondering where all the lights went. "mY hEaD- oH mY hEAd" hare, who ironically fell on the softest landing place, is whining. Mally jumps up and out of the goblet, hearing the groaning complaints of hate, she suspects there is a beast or monster around, and starts swinging her sword defensively.

"Hm?" She stops, looking around. "You're right hatter! Where are all the lights!?" Mally says this, right before hatter crashes into something. A large statue of what seems to be a stone beast with wings. It falls over crashing, and breaking at the floor. "Ow!" Hatter manages to get away from it before getting badly hurt, but has torn his sleeve, hate covering his face with his ears, spooked.

After a while of examining the room, they discover a singular candle. And find out the steel door is locked. Unable to break it down, are they trapped in here? The room is square shaped, with tiny vertical windows in the wall. A victorian castle design, there is an intricate fireplace places on the left wall, and the door is made of steel. A long trestle table sits in the middle of the room, lined with empty dishes. It looks like a dining room come to think of it.

Molly hops of to one of the windows, maybe she could get them out! Shattering it with her sword, she realizes there's a lined wire sheet behind the window... Like a cells bars. They are trapped as if in the red queens dungeon...

The fireplace too narrow and wide to climb up, the windows barricaded and tiny, the door solid and locked... There is no way out...
