The Story:

The Queen of Hearts' throne room is more inviting that it has ever been. Beginning on September 3rd, anyone passing by will notice a tunnel of red, white, and black balloons leading inside. Those who grow curious and investigate will not be punished, but instead rewarded - with a party.

As each guest enters, they will receive a mask from seemingly nowhere, and they are encouraged to leave their masks on during the party - for once, it does not matter who is Real and who is Not and who is a double and who is an original. There are only Guests and all are welcome.

There is plenty of food and drink for all to enjoy, and music is always playing. The party is very red and black, and lit by candle light. Each place is carefully set and there are lovely centerpieces featuring the only playing card that matters - the Queen of Hearts.

But hm? What is that on the back?

[Souji takes in the Queen of Hearts's reaction, blinking curiously. His mask, in copper-red metal, doesn't leave much confusion about who's wearing it, but he still pushes it up onto his forehead when he approaches, mussing up his hair so that it sticks out at odd angles around and through the metal.

He'd already guessed she didn't have much or anything to do with what was going on--she'd always been quite unhappy whenever the glass in the mirrors disappeared, so that likely wasn't her doing. This is just further evidence for his conclusion. That doesn't mean she's clueless, though.]

What do you think's going on?

[onlyredroses]

[The Queen of Hearts huffs and pouts. She is not thrilled by any of this, and now Real Things are speaking to her. Gross.]

What do you think is going on?

[She's the Queen, and thus is perfectly entitled to behave like a five year old if she wants to.]

[eatsyourscience]

[Souji's thoughts exactly.]

There's no way I'd know more than you about Wonderland.

[But he can still hazard a guess.]

But it's done this kind of thing before, hasn't it? Maybe it's...sick again.

[He's leaving a lot of room for her to contradict or correct him.]

[onlyredroses]

It's making me sick.

[You know, just in case that wasn't obvious.]

But no, it isn't. But it will be if it keeps this up.

[And naturally, the Queen of Hearts will have to clean up the mess when it happens. This is always what happens.]

[eatsyourscience]

...Are you going to make it that way? Or is it going to overextend itself?

[onlyredroses]

Why in all of Wonderland would I make it that way? I have to live here too! Do you go about making your house ill on purpose? No! You don't!

[HMPH.]

[eatsyourscience]

Houses don't really get ill where I'm from.

[But he gets what she means.]

This seems to happen a lot lately. In the last few years.

[onlyredroses]

That isn't my fault.

[No one said it was, your Majesty.]

[eatsyourscience]

No. I didn't think it was. You seem more unhappy about it than any of us.

...Which makes sense. It's your home.

[onlyredroses]

Of course I am! How would you feel if someone threw a party in your room without your permission?

[At least SOMEWHAT upset, probably.]

[eatsyourscience]

It would depend on who it was.
